Hi Shreeve .. I meant to reply to your thread sooner but I overlooked it ... wish I could get such clear /sharp photos..my camera is pretty rubbish! --- it just will not focus properly within a certain distance.. I have to move it away before it will give me the `green box` to indicate correct focus...soon as I go near, I get the red [incorrect] focus box..really annoying.
Now to your issue.... knot -visibility can be a perennial problem...sometimes there`s no issue at all, other times there is.... I note this is a stock system.... many guys order a custom-made and get blonde hair at the front and then colour it themselves.. I appreciate colouring may be something many newbies would be fearful of doing.... bleaching can weaken the hair [knots] and lead to premature shedding ... the visibility can be more obvious if hair is double-knotted and is a dark colour....also, bleaching may not work because fabric-dye is also used to colour hair when the need arises, so you could try a fabric-dye remover first [ on those knots] and see if that works.....I`ve always found my front knots were always properly bleached and invisible, even in my Topper-wearing days, when I wore custom-made systems ... close-up photos like that tend to amplify such issues...you`re [naturally] very ` conscious` of it [as we all would be] but most casual observers won`t be looking so closely at your hairline. You could try using some styling-product such as Brylcreem --just a little--- to help slick the hair down a little ..it could mask that visibility.... I`m surprised to see it ..usually knots,even on a stock system, are not so obvious.
