Thank you to all of you for the comments, it's greatly appreciated. As for the question about my color, it is matched to my hair sample that I sent in. In my opinion, this is the only way to go. I used to order from the color ring, but I could never get it right. The factory is incredible about matching not only your base color, but the secondary colors. I have a very small amount of red and gray hair mixed in with my medium brown, and they always end up getting it right.

I also want to thank the person that posted a while back on the old forum about the "down" ventilation. I absolutely love the fact that this ventilation is "broken in" from day one. Obviously with my lower densities I didn't have a LOT of "poof", but the break in period was still there before it would lay down properly. I used to always wear my new pieces under a hat for the first couple weekends after the initial cut in to try and shorten the break in period.
