Black Hair And Bleached Knots - What’s The Deal

[Michae lev]

So I’m looking into my first system. My loss is really early, just in the hairline and I’m still able to style and conceal that completely hides it. Nonetheless I want to start with systems early so the transistion will be unnoticeable and so I can stop with the topical treatments and concealers.

The thing is I have jet black hair, which unfortunately I have read comes with a whole mess of complications compared to other colors, especially with the knots. I’ve read that bleaching the knots is tough or impossible.

What’s the deal with this? I want to have a really killer hairline, and would ideally use a Swiss lace, but it sounds like my color might be an issue? Should I consider poly to avoid the knot issue? (I’d really rather not)

Anyone with jet black hair on a Swiss that’s willing to share hairline pics, I’d really appreciate.

For reference, my situation and hair color is similar to this guys. Maybe a bit darker. I would definitely not shave off my whole head tho, I’d just get a frontal:

Hi Michael

You're right; with really dark hair it is hard to bleach the knots completely without weakening the hairs to the point where you get shedding. Some guys just live with that - if you have dense hair and you are not planning to expose your hairline it probably won't show much if at all. But it does get in the way of a "killer hairline". The perfectionist answer is to order your system with a strip of blond hair all along the hairline, and then dye those hairs black, but leaving the knots blond. I think that's what you will have to do. I believe some of the on-line suppliers will do the ordering and dyeing for you at no extra charge or only a very small charge, but I don't know the details (I have light coloured hair, so I don't have this issue).

I have heard of a few guys buying the whole system in blond hair and dyeing the whole thing black. That is a real perfectionist job, because i imagine it is not that easy to dye the whole hairshafts without dyeing the knots. But I am sure it's a great result.

That’s for the info.. definitely something I should look into.

Would this be something that I could achieve with by ordering a custom system? Special requesting a blonde unit dyed black?

Would this make the color more short lived?

 

[Noah]

Yes, it would be a special request as part of a custom order. I don't believe the colour would last any less long.

Who's the supplier/vendor?

Could that pic be v-looped rather than knots?
