Can someone please explain to me what this means?
 
Also, if I were to purchase hair from Wagman and needed to color it to match to #613, would I have to bleach it or would I be able to get enough lift if I used 40% with the hair color I use that lifts the max amount of levels.
 
For those of you who dye/bleach extension hair, is it really hard and does it really damage the hair visibly? Am I better off just getting hair that is already processed to this color?

bleaching up to #613 is tricky...Im not confident enough to even attempt it. I dont trust my bleaching skills enough, so maybe someone who has done it successfully will chime in.

i've not been bleaching extension hair, but my two cents: even if you did purchase Wagman naturally black/dark brown hair and successfully lightened it to your desired shade, unless youre going to make pretips out of the hair you will be left with a dark brown weft that will DEFINATELY show through your own 613 hair when using Protac or whatever bonding/sew-in

 

finally, 'single drawn'= the hair is as if they took one person's ponytail, cut it off and sold it to you...there are a few shorter lengths in there and it looks rather natural when you install...

.'double drawn'=ALL of the hair has been cut to exactly the specified length (like, its ALL 18'')
 
to further confuse me and ya'll.....on a certain hair site (RKhairproducts)....their double drawn hair is NOT remy hair, but their single drawn is
 
hair isnt something we can just blindly buy, we really have to do our research

and to add to your thought (and the confusionLOL), not all double drawn hair is NON remy (think EP)

You're better off getting hair already processed to 613. It's difficult and harsh on the hair lifting above a medium/golden brown. Nursie is right, too...the wefting will remain black.

Ah, never thought of the weft remaining dark! Glad I didn't decide to order it. I guess i will try ordering from Bohyme and until I get the pro-tac and razoring down pat, I am going to continue to use and pratice with BSS hair.
 
I need some tips for weft placement to alleviate 'mushroom head'. I have so many short layers growing out from top and sides.

I've been growing my hair out from very very short (like 1 1/2") for about a year now.  My hair's about 7" now, it grows slowly.  What I found to camouflage it best is going up really really high on the wefts, and using wavy hair.

Kalika, how high do you go up with your wefts? Are you doubling or tripling the higher wefts?
 
Do you use hand tied wefts?
