Thanks bucksred, had a great conversation with Spex. Spencer took the time to spend 45 mins on the phone with me giving great advice, being totally impartial and most of all recommending taking my time and doing lots of research. A great guy in my opinion. He also recommended seeking out JoeTronic and speaking to him which I will try to do.
For anyone reading this unsure of what to do, recommend spex, look at the spexhair website, of course there are loads of other great people..some of whom have posted on my thread, spex is the only one I have spoken to so far. And I intend to do my research and speak to more people as suggested.
