I have very short hair, and also use cut shrinkies, plus usually wear a headband, so my bangs are pulled back over the top - unless someone is really looking, it is hard to tell. Curly hair also helps hide the shrinkies.

Yeah if you're brown underneath and blond on top then just install that way.  Will the hair ocor look entirely natural?  No, but the bleach blond that didn't quite work out wouldn't have been either.

For the top to avoid the mullet look I reccomend using the method Fina recently taught me.  Make some very tiny tips (both in diamter and length of the tipped area) and cut the shrinkie in half  and you can place these closer to parts, in thinner areas and closer to your hair line.

Here's the thread

Hmm...it's hard to say. One of the members here, Kalika, had pretty short hair and did shrinkies pretty much all the way to her part with great success. I don't think you can go that high up without some visibility, though. If you have thick hair, you may be able to go about 1 inch from the part and still be able to conceal them most of the time; it'll be harder with thin hair. The problem with not going high enough is that you can wind up with a mullet, but you'll probably be able to get a sense of where to stop as you actually install it. I would install the colors to match your real hair, if that's what you ordered. Good luck! :)
