It`s most likely to be from the sun...even on days when it`s cloudy/overcast, UV radiation still gets through..... I can see the oxidation effect on my new system after a relatively short term [few weeks] in wear/use and I`m on a country not known to be exactly sunny [understatement..lol] Sounds like you`ll need to put a coloring agent into it.... it`s important to keep it off the lace or it can lead to `visibility`due to permanently staining it...you`ll need to get the correct shade --can that wig -supplies shop advise you or do they carry such product ? It`s important not to leave coloring agents in longer than about 3 minutes or it will go too `deep`.....system hair really grabs color far quicker than growing hair.... it`s vital to choose the correct color [obviously] so even if you went into a shop which specializes in hair-coloring products.... there`s no need to tell them it`s for a system..just say the front part of you hair has been sun-bleached and tell them you want to color it to match with the rest of your hair ..they should be able to give you the right one for you.... it`s then only a matter of mixing [ if it`s not ready-mixed] and applying to freshly-shampooed /towel -dried hair taking great care to keep it off your base.....simply rinse off under running water after 3 minutes...the longer you leave it in the `deeper`the shade....so go `easy`the first time....hope that helps....it`s just another new part of this wearing game.....sometimes you can get away with it for longer, others, not so long.... it shouldn`t be too tricky for such a small system anyway but as it`s at the front there, you`re bound to be `conscious`of it.... regards, Paul.

Thanks Paul. I've already started the dying process on my older system. I don't use pure pigment, I use a gloss too lighten the "grab" on my hair. You're right, it's probably the sun :/ It's just a pain in the a**!

You the man!
