Thanks for the tip sprital...I did in fact wash it when I recieved it aprrox 3 times...before the cut in...i also noticed a lot of dye in the sink...and when I went to get it cut in..the hair was a lot lighter in color...and the hair on the unit itself was not very good quality...I have noticed that all my customs have had pretty good hair quality...but my stocks just seem to have a lot of spit ends...This could be becuase my customs I ordered straight hair and one less process for the hair to go through.Cheers
