One factor to consider is that the donor hair you are getting is Indian which is naturally very dark brown or black to begin with so when you order blond hair, the factory must put the hair through harsh chemical treatments to lift the color. The result is overtreated hair before you even begin to add the dye.

It is my understanding that ALL hair is stripped of color and re-colored before being ventilated. If this is the case, it is bleached, re-colored, then bleached again to make the knots disappear. So by ordering blonde and coloring yourself you are actually avoiding the second bleaching.

My next full cap order is going to be all #14 blonde. I am then going to foil off some highlights and color the rest #17 light brown. NO MORE KNOTS!
