i second biltmores advice.
this is the biggest drawback of going it alone.
i suppose its like buying a new car and teaching yourself how to drive,
i started off with a one lady salon,i had intended buying from toplace,
but bought from her, she cut the system in,colour matched.
i actually thought i had light brown hair, until she told me actually its 40% grey.
so i'd have ordered mistakenly a brown system instead of a grey, brown system.
you only need go back a few times to a salon for a re bond, removal, i did i was kinda terrified to touch it, now its second nature, and iv been doing my own cleaning, bond de bond for for abround 10 weeks, the first month i called up the salon and went back a few times for hairline touch ups.which they didnt charge for.
a good small salon will tell you things, you hadnt thought of,
there is a good possibility that new weareres going it alone will think its way to complicated.
so the answers here, phone around find a small hairdresser.who specalises in hair systems.
once you see it done in reality, ask any questioins.
and you'll be doing youre own in no time.
please please dont give up without going to a salon, or contact a felow wearer via the toplace
forum you might find a wearer who lives nearbye who could come to you or you go to them
