I currently have unbleachable hairline knots in my new system. I find this sometimes happens on hair systems with SFS front but thinskin or ilace base - not sure why, perhaps it's the hair used in the skins.

I've left the knots in bleach for about 50 minutes, and only a few of them got bleached. The rest stayed totally original colour. I've had this issue before with an ilace piece, and after 3 bleach attempts I gave up.

With SFS and #64 systems, I've never had this problem.

I'm currentl wearing my system with unbleached hairline knots, and it actually looks fine because it's quite a thick hairline... but I wouldn't mind getting some of the bleached, perhaps there is some way?

So nobody else has experienced this?

I may be wrong here but I don't think you can bleach knots on an i-lace piece as the knots are sandwiched between two seperate materials.....the bleach wouldn't even touch the knots.

I think he means a current piece with swiss front attached to skin or ilace

Yes Jeff, it's just a regular SFS front

Extra thinskin base.

It's a great piece but the unbleached hairline are starting to bug me... can't really comb the hair back. Any way of bleaching them?

oh, I understand. sorry, I was confused.
you should be able to just bleach the sfs area in the front without issues.
use a thin coat so it doesn't expand and travel up the hair shaft.

But I've tried already - left it for the best part of an hour (this is very long for bleach!)...

And they were still totally dark...

Should I try again? And if no success, again? Until it works?

I've heard reports that too much bleaching will ruin the hairs... so I'm afraid to do it too much.

Maybe some types of synthetic hairs can't be bleached??

I don't believe ANY type of synthetic hair hair can be bleached.

Well look on the bright side-- at least all that bleaching Mr. Burns did couldn't have damaged the hair if it was synthetic!

JRob is correct. Synthetic hair can't be bleached, and it won't take color either. The coloration it has is part of the plastic it's made of.

"The coloration it has is part of the plastic it's made of."

Oh ok... better make it very clear in my order next time that synthetic hair + SFS front = Not good
