Silk top LF help

Hello ladies I am buying yet another unit can yall help me figure out how far back to have silk placed on unit is 1/4 of an inch enough and any suggestions on how large I should get the silk I have worn units for over a year but never had one of these I plan on getting it from Rex. Also I have decided to get the light color and dye silk myself

yes that's exactly what i plan to do if and when i get another one..

have you ever worn the silk top units

yes i like it other than the one i ordered the silk came down too far to the edge of the hairline.. it won't lay flat.. so 1/4 inch behind the hairline, not the baby hairs the hair line would have been much better.. then i did a dye trick to make it match my skin.. i have a transparent color, and brought some tan and taupe color rits dye.. turned the cap inside out and mix the colors in a small bowl and dipped it for a few SECONDS, and it changed like that and matched perfectly..

well if you bleached them good sometimes that's just as good as the silk top for me..

really I just got a 24 in curly from rex it is da bomb but I can never seem to get these 1b knots to really lift well ... I am going to to do the superblond trick last time I did powder bleach with 40v did not really do much I am nervous that I will over process so I think I am not leaving it on long enough. But I am about give it one more try to see if I can knock it out and I am gonna use 3m 77 and pantyhose for the scalp effect which is fairly easy to do. So I will post some pics

don't waste your time, they color the darker processed colors with clothing dye.. it won't lift, you'll have to try the rit's dye remover but its a dip not a soak, its in and out, with hot water, the cap turned inside out.. and then if you see the color dripping off into the bowl its removing it.. then try again to bleach them and make sure that then you leave it on long enough check out the newbie thread.. i buy only virgin so i don't have to go thru hell to bleach the knots and curly perm if that's what i want..
