jinstar----- you shouldn`t have to order an all-blonde stock because the factory is normally good at bleaching the knots especially at the front and the crown area, as these are normally the most likely to be ` visible` to a casual observer......bear in mind too, that the front of all systems have a graduated-density for a more natural look, so if/ when trimming / cutting a stock to make a partial, try not to cut the front of it, otherwise you`ll cut out the graduated-density bit and you`ll have a much thicker density on the front of your head...... you can cut the sides and back of the system, but try to leave the front intact. If you intend to wear a very exposed or ` swept-back` hairstyle, knot-visibility can be more of an issue, but if not, the
standard knot-bleaching done by the factory is usually ok.... I just think that Newbies have enough to be getting used to [attaching/ detaching/cleaning etc.] without doing colouring too...
Reubin`s systems are custom-made with the hair tied-in [`` Ventilated`` ] into that particular direction....... stocks systems are `` freestyle`` --usually you can ` play around` with them in terms of trying different syles, but if you want a ` permanent` kind of definite /set style, it`s best to get a custom-made. As you only intend wearing a partial for now, you`ll probably get away with ordering a stock ....... by all means, if you feel like ` experimenting` with using colours, you could certainly order a blonde system, and just apply it to a small-ish area at the back of the system, so you can get used to applying and `timing` it..... you`ll only be using/keeping the front bit, so it own`t matter if you make a bit of a mess/mistake with the back of it, as you`ll be cutting most of it off anyway.....keep it off the lace at all costs if/when doing the front, because it will permanently stain it. Good luck with it anyway, whatever you decide...... this wearing game is a learning-curve at the start, and even at times, we still learn something new, no matter how long we`ve been wearing. It takes guts/nerve to do it yourself at the start, so hope it works out for you. This clip might give you a few hints/tips
