So the texture's not exactly the perfect match but I can live with that... but the knots / parting looks completely fake! When I compare it to my own parting the wig looks like dolls hair or something coming out from the top the knots are so visible and there's so many they look like little ants or something! i didn't pay all this money for someone to say 'hey you got bugs in your hair lady'
 
any advice?? I want to fix it up and wear it tomorro so i need a quick solution - I can't upload a picture all I can say it loads and loads of visible knots!! and i believe that if i think the knots look stupid everyone else will and then they'll probably look so hard they'll see the damn lace! LOL
 
Thanks in advance ladies Smile

It sounds like you need to bleach the knots....

If the hair color is dark you will likely get better results if you use Rit Dye Color Remover on the knots first. For the bleach, I like to use the Loreal SuperBlond that Sexi recommended because it's very effective and it doesn't turn the lace orange like some others can. There are a few other types of bleaching kits that are recommended but I don't remember the names of them. Maybe some of the other ladies can chime in ?

Is rit dye colour available in the uk though? I really wanted to apply the wig tonight but I guess I'm gonna have to wait to get the products and stuff.
I really don't want to mess up the hair though! I just kno i'll manage to do something wrong! These things are startin to bug me...
if only they weren't so damn pretty! lol
