Ultimately in my experience , I’d say go to a salon,
At least for a consultation, phone around, see if there’s one on the Toplace list.
Far better to have a face to face real world observation of your hairline, hair loss etc.
Then when you’re ready to order, ask them to do a cut in , bond etc.
Go there a few times for touch ups, as in front hairline,or complete de bond, re bond.
While there ask all the questions you need to.
Then you don’t really need them again after a few months,
You’ll be doing bonding , de bonding , cleaning yourself.
It’s not rocket science,ohh hell they’d love you to believe it is to keep you tied to a expensive contract.
But it’s not,its very simple.im testimony to that.
Yupp sometimes I encounter minor problems, but nothing major.
All I’m saying is I couldn’t have managed using the forum alone, you really need to go to a salon
For your first few time, but note! Find a reasonably priced one and no contract, preferably an independent
One person salon, like I did.

My only regret I didn’t do it earlier.

Regards anty 
