I've been wearing for awhile but only just started getting stock pieces & cutting them in myself. I'm really trying to become self sufficient but i'm just not there yet! I'm not doing too well on my latest pieces. Firstly Stock pieces need to have the knots bleached so I tried but totally stuffed up! The roots & shafts are yucky yellow orange. Then I tried to cut my hair & made a mess of that too! This game can be very frustrating sometimes! Hence the title where are the Debbie's in the world! You guys that have people like Debbie at your disposal are so blessed! I'd really love it if I had someone as clued up like them close by that I could see. Every hair replacement stylist that I've ever seen has no clue! I'm sorry to sound negative i'm always quite positive but as i said this hair thing can really get too you. I guess my short term solution is to go back to custom pieces with my actual hair sample & go & pay the money to get a cut in. hock:
