Questions before you buy

How should I use the cards?

Treat every card as a comparison starting point. Confirm the current listing and merchant details before buying.

Will this work for everyone?

No. Texture, density, length, processing history, humidity, and technique change outcomes.

Do I need every product?

No. Start with the smallest set that solves a defined problem.

When should I stop?

Stop for pain, irritation, unusual shedding, breakage, or an unsafe routine.
