Wanda, my hair is a perfect #4 in false hair plus about 50% grey. Since the mix of #4 and grey come only in 25% or 75% grey, I purchase #4 and 25% grey and comb the two together until they blend. Work on towel and expect to lose a bunch from the hank of hair you're building; the lost hair goes into a baggie and it will make a hair rat later. Keep brushing or combing the two together until the blend matches your own hair and you can make your own shade of blond and grey or white. The only difference between a poly switch and your own hair is that the store-bought stuff, unless human hair, will be shinier. I solve that by covering it with a net that cuts down on the shine. I understand you can also use hair spray on your own hair to shiny it up. LynnD
