Baldy,

I had the same itchiness, redness, and flakes. I would scratch at night and my scalp would get really raw from it. What's worse is when I scratch, I feel the stickiness of the tape.

What I did (and I posted about this experience about 5 minutes ago), was use Got2Be Glued spiking gel. Read my post entitled "If you hate tapes and glues"... maybe you are a good candidate for this product.

G2BG might not give you a week's hold, but the clean up is ZERO. Just shower and like any other hair gels, it just dissolves away. Because it's so easy to apply and to clean, I've been cleaning my scalp every 3 days. It's wonderful!!!

Hope you read about it, and possible try it.
