Calling All Athletes: Ever had hair fall off/slip? - OhioGuy - 12-07-2011
Honest questions guys. I am very active, and want to wear hair obviously. I play basketball and baseball mostly. I'm a little worried about having to wear a hat. I feel like it may catch the hair and have it fly off.
Also, in basketball, a hard foul on the head or something. I know I'm fearing the worst, but I also know other active people have done these things. Tell me about your experiences.

With a proper attachment, if any one tried to pull it off, it would probably rip your scalp if it did come off. No worries, I play a lot of softball, and sweat like a pig on hot days, it ain't going anywhere.

I used to ask the same question i play fooball (soccer) and used to play wearing a cap and was worried that the cap would fly off so assumed a piece would do the same thing. Until i had a piece secured on my head and realized it was going no where.

What do you guys use? I have my piece, I'm ready for a cut-in...I need like a started kit of glues, releasers, etc. made for athletes.
Also, how long do yours last as an athlete?

Blue tape sides and back , ghost bond glue on the front should do it. Its what i use .

As for activities:
I was at a gwar concert once... They ah, soak you. Well at the time I had no clue about white glues deteriorating with water and sweat. I had a clue that would happen but never pushed it.
Story: So the concert starts than the heat goes up! 30 minutes in the band starts shooting some kind of colored water out on the floor. I started feeling like the unit was lifting. Then 15 minutes in I get hit, direct shot to the head and blab I felt it slide. Fortunately I had 20 minutes to go, so I dealt with it. On the way to the car ( midnight mind you ) I was with one other friend and I was not comfortable. I know the dark would shield me a bit but not knowing it just miserable. Once in the car I tried to hide myself a bit not to look at my buddy. He proly figure it was a stiff neck. I tried to reach up and see what the damage may be but just was not sure. I could tell it lifted in multiple places. When I finally got back to my car I check it out and yeah it was not really glued down any more. Front back side, everywhere. Last time I did that! I definitely do blue tape, get it from Debbie.
Resolution: If you like white glues, use tape in the center to hold it down. Good safety net. If you find a clear glue that works, they hold up great in moisture. Also most tapes will not budge under these conditions.
Personally I use davyln and I swim under water, work out, and sower with it. 1 week hold.
as for catching: I ware a hat a lot and never have an issue. You do far more damage sleeping. If anything grabs the hair you may have issues. I have a 16 month year old and he is dangerous. On a new attachment its no big deal, but 4 days in, he can make it move.

Ulao, that's some what discouraging news. Are white glues really that week? I understand a lot of people use ORWG, does it really come off with one splash of water? I would have hoped it would hold better than this. And if someone pulls on it even the tape isn't very strong? I never thought a baby grabbing the hair could loosen it or make it move.... that's a tad worrisome.
