Which base? - Oldwearer - 08-31-2012
If you want low density and wear a spiky hairstyle then which base should you use if you use only tape?
Would I-Lace be the best?
RE: Which base? - Black_nail - 09-01-2012
To be honest, a tape only attachment and a low density hairpiece don't really marry together very well.. Maybe someone else will have perfected a method.. but i'd say you should consider a glue attachment.
good luck

I'd be looking at low density with a tape attachment too. Does it really not work well?

I think it would be a bit hard with low density,but you can try to dab some water based (white) glue on the tape to take some of the shine out.

Some customers cut the tape in half length-wise to get a narrower piece of tape to attach with for a partial. If you want to use tape I suggest Walker No Shine tape. But most customers use glue.

Thanks everyone!
What if you go 65% density?? What base?
RE: Which base? - NYCguy2020 - 09-05-2012
I think SFS is the way to go.

I don't really agree. I think using tape would be fine. Just I am not sure if tape on the front hairline would work for you or not. They have a 3mil lace tape that works good for hairlines.. that is something you have to experiment with, but I can't see why tape can't be used for base attachment. It should be fine
RE: Which base? - Oldwearer - 09-11-2012
I see the TL300 is recommended (on this website) for pieces with lower densities where showing some scalp adds a more realistic look. Hence my initial question.

Surely you can see, Oldwearer, that it depends on what tape you use? I think proflex is the only true no-shine one. Regards
