thank you,yes my spouse is willing to try,are you saying that the underlayer color is #4 and #2 creates the lowlights? If so would my first few rows starting at the nape  be solid 4 then maybe 3rd row up i would start mixing  2 in there im not sure of ratio,thank you so much for any feed back,

I always begin my extensions by doing undreneath first and work my way to the top.  The first 2 layers must match the colour fo your own hair then after that you can begin to blend in a few colours for the next ffew rows but not too much.  You must be careful to stick mainly to your own colour and add highlights / lowlights here and there.  I always find it looks best if when introducing extra colours that you add a few strands of natural colour along with it to save you getting large chunks of colour which stand out.  Also the top few layers must mainly match your natural hair otherwise you will see the break between your own hair and the extensions.

Does this make sence?  I hope so.
