Going to have a baby soon. Every dad I see with a little kid has the kid touching their head and playing with their hair and sitting on their back etc. How did you guys navigate that?

Actually one more question on what you said earlier about "avoiding combing out the perm". How do you color your blonde pieces? I color by combing the color through the hair. I believe it is this process that somehow removes the perm. Do you also comb through the hair when you color? Or do you...

BTW BTW what do you mean by quality of knotting? Like single knotting throughout? Does anyone do that?

Thanks again for your reply. Is it best to have it "chemically permed before ventilation"? I assume that creates long-lasting curls all the way to the base, right? With respect to Bysix, two questions: 1. Do you know roughly how to translate Bysix curl levels to cm/mm? Like what would you say...

Thanks, very educational response! I feel like a dummy for not realizing earlier that it was the vendor not doing the curl properly. I think this might be due to their factory changing during COVID. I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a couple of new vendors to see what comes back with the...

Any luck finding a good supplier of curly hair?

I have been ordering from one of the most reputable hair system makers for years. A problem I've run into is that my bio hair is very wavy and the systems I get always end up straight, creating some blending issues. You're probably thinking - just order it with some extra waviness! Yes but...

Looking to buy blonde hair so I can fill in/ventilate bald spots on my lace system instead of replacing the whole thing. What is a good source for the type of quality hair you'd normally get from good system sellers (eg NWL)? Assuming most blonde hair is actually Indian hair bleached already...

Thanks, but I was more wondering about if anyone does the dying method, not just the knot bleaching. I've actually visited Debbie in person when I was just testing out wearing and yes she was professional but not sure she does dying blonde-to-dark. When I tried it with her in person it was a bit...

I found that, after testing 3-4 products, the one that seemed to do the best job was the eSalon tint rinse red neutralizer. Bonus is that it absolutely does not stain the base or knots so you can be liberal with it.

I waste so much time dying blonde units to dark brown to ensure a decent hairline that doesn't look weird (v loops) or obvious (dark knots even on "bleached" lace pieces from reputable companies). Is there literally no one out there who will do the dying for me (and do it well) for an extra...

Thanks Noah. How do you go about "suspending" the head upside down? Do you just hold it between your legs or something or what?

I have been practicing DIY dying lately (DIYing? lol). The issue I have run into is trying to protect the lace base with some kind of layer before the dying. I've been using got2Bglued but find I cannot keep it from seeping through the base and into the first 1 cm of the hair or so. This is...

UnfinishedSymphony, imo. He posts on Reddit and NWL. Not sure if he is on this forum.

I've been using the cheap brush that comes with Ghost Bond when buying from Hair Direct (link). After using, I soak in 99% alcohol overnight, but no matter what, it becomes super sticky after it dries. I have no idea how to get the glue out. Any ideas? Or are there certain types of brushes that...
