For lace I normally to a re add once. I get 8 moths that way ( split up ). I thin a year is pushing it. My costs was 100, with BA, not sure what John requires.
I have been wearing for 7 years and always get s-fine lase. I have never had a rip. Shedding is a bit problem for my as I tend to scratch my head a lot. Conditioner is the biggest cause for me, its best to not use it. Sometimes you just need to.
A lot of the ladies hung out on BA's form. Since he has decided to leave the business I think they may start showing up here. If you dont know who Debbie is, do yourself a favor and introduce yourself.
