The bigger suppliers use more than one factory. That adds to the complexity of things. We use only one factory. We've used the same factory for over 9 years so that helps. But knotting hair all day long is not on the 'to-do list' of high achievers. It's boring and monotonous work. Older people don't have the dexterity to do the job so it's a young person's job. People have trouble staying with the job for a long time. So it's true that this is an industry wide concern. Regarding your comment about the detectablity of black knots along the front hairline---is the entire unit bleached? Or just the hairline? Black hair is the most difficult to bleach since it requires more bleaching time to remove the color. Bleach too long and it harms the integrity of the knot. Bleach too little and the knot is visible. It's a fine line between the two. The lighter the color of the hair the easier it is to bleach the knots. Of course there's always the old trick of ordering the front hairline in blonde hair and then just color the hair shaft black.
