Post: ThinSkin and Sweating/Long-term wear.
| Hi there everyone.

Thread: ThinSkin and Sweating/Long-term wear.
Post: Re: ThinSkin and Sweating/Long-term wear.

A few more days with the piece on... things are calming a bit.
Nobody else has noticed, only gotten "nice haircut" and "whoa, you're growing your hair out, eh?". Which is nice.

Post: When it comes off, will it uproot my hair?!
| Hey all,
I've got a poly system, glued on.
I'm taking it off, giving up on hair systems. I believe I've got about a week of growth under there. So probably 0.2" or so.
My fear is -- when they take... |
