^ Wow, that is terrible. I'm so afraid of ruining my hair too, which is why I think the clip-in will be best for me. I just ordered 3 different color samples from a seller on Ebay. They come with the clip, so I can at least give it a try and see how it feels in (even though they are small.) I know you can color the human hair ones also, and I want my stylist to look at them and let me know which one would be the best for her to use to color match to my hair. Can't wait until they arrive!
