Thanks for the feedback guys I appreciate it.

The more i think about it the more I think it needs to go back. If I'm literally replacing what i've got now and even possibly worsening my appearance then what is the point of that.

I think the main thing that's causing me so much stress over it is that I've had the end of April/start of May in my head for what seems like a long time now and have done a lot of planning around getting it done in this time slot, so to have to wait a further 6-7 weeks has just completely thrown me off track. That sounds ridiculous I know because I'm possibly looking at wearing hair for decades yet would consider using a system that is too thin just so that i can do it now. If John had turned round and told me he could get it back to me in 1 week I'd have boxed it up and sent it back this morning so i think that pretty much answers my question about how happy i am with this current system.

Hersute, I hadn't actually considered the option of getting a stock but since I'm now likely to end up ordering 65% density anyway and they already have my hair colour on file this could probably fill the gap. thanks for the suggestion. i'll definitely think about that.
