awesome, mine sometimes is darker in middle, sometimes goes away, sometimes not. Still looks good.
Also, I love redheads! i have two daughters red hair, now two grandsons, one really red, one str. blonde.
It's turning a dark brown now. We'll see. I have it cut up and on racks now.
I put it straight in the freezer. Didn't wait, hurried on purpose and I could see when I cut it that it definitely tried to gel in the middle. I have one of those up right freezers too.
