I have until now taken finasteride against hair loss, but I have to stop because of side effects. I'm going to buzz my hair down and treat my hair loss with topicals. But if I get unsatisfied with that, I may get a hairpiece at some point during the next few years. Since I'm going to buzz my hair down, maybe I should send some of it to Toplace, so they can use it to determine color and curl. How long should the sample hair be?

Yes do that and when we get it just ask us what colour it is.

Regards BA.

But I was wondering if I should ideally grow my hair out to a specific length before chopping it off, in order to determine curl/wave and color.
