Picking a color for ordering a piece. I'm researching now as I have several months to go on my HC contract. I borrowed a standard Hair color sample ring and tried to match my own and had a difficult time. Some of the samples looked the exact same to me, but none seemed to match my hair exactly. I therefore want to take a sample but don't know where or how to cut without leaving a hole in my real hair that can be seen. Since I'm wearing a crappy system now from HC, maybe I can cut an inch in the back near where the system attaches hoping the missing hair won't be noticeable if the system covers that part in the blending. I don't know what others do.
