What are bleached hair knots?

When dark hair is tied to the hairpiece base it creates a knot. Where the knot is tied a dark dot appears on the skin, especially when the base is lace. Lace material does not hide knots as well as a monofilament base does. Bleaching the knots, is usually only on lace front areas, but sometimes it may be necessary to do it to the hold piece. This makes the knots hard to see and it helps create the illusion that your hair is growing from the scalp. See similar questions...

Unfortunately, dental bondings, composite resin fillings (tooth colored fillings) and old crowns cannot be bleached. Fillings that have discolored indicate that they are either leaking or have secondary decay, so it is best to replace them. A better choice may be to replace them with porcelain laminate/veneers for longer lasting results. Remember; only replace these fillings after bleaching in order to match the new improved color of your teeth. See similar questions...

Why satin, why flannel? What the heck is with those knots and ears?

Buddy Blankies Frequently Asked Questions
Studies have shown that satin picks up the scent of the baby and even the mother. That scent can be very calming to a child when they're upset, going to sleep, etc. It's soothing to the little one so they don't feel alone. The flannel also picks up scents as well as being soft and snuggly for the child to hold. We try and choose appealing patterns with bright images, but not busy to over-stimulate them .

Can I have a pine frame without any knots in it?

Imprints - Questions Answered
Pine is wood, which grows on trees, trees have branches and branches mean knots. Whilst we do reject a significant amount of wood with large or rough knots, if we made knot free frames, the price would have to rise considerably and we would throw away lots of wood. Imprint is a framed, fired ceramic print, the frame is just as integral to the design of an Imprint as the clay. The frame also protects the clay. As a result we don’t supply the clay alone.
