I think I will use the kit that you recommended and try it myself. In order to get the nice color contrast, do you think it is best that I order the hair in a dark brown color?

In the past I have not had much luck with custom units. They just haven't turned our as well as I would like. I've been ordering all-skin stock units from BA, and they have truly been exceptional. Plus, they last a long, long time and they are not hot like people think. The clean up is very minimal, and I remove it every night. I guess that adds to the life of it. Re-attaching the next morning is very quick and easy, 1 minute at the most! I will be glad to share my secrets and tips with you should you ever decide to go that route.

Thank you again for being so helpful.
