If it's lace and a little too big it's not a big deal. Lace is easy enough to trim down. Skin is harder but I haven't tried Toplace's skin systems.

Where are all the skin wearers that use tape?
RE: Another thin skin thread! - Hairenough - 03-12-2013
I don't think you will find more than a few. As said many times recently already, skin + perimeter-only bond is not a great combination due to the reasons that have been repeated again and again. I suggest you either do a full scalp bond (why are you so reluctant to do this?) or go with lace. I wouldn't even consider a lace perimeter-only bond due to itching and shedding being a result.
Why are people so afraid of a full scalp bond? It's the closest feeling to your own hair you can get.

Once you are used to tape it's so easy, and I have been using tape for 30+ years. I now change the tape, on my lace front unit (with pu on the sides and back) every 7 days. Does not take more than 15 minutes. I don't have a problem with itching or shedding.
RE: Another thin skin thread! - Hairenough - 03-12-2013
15 minutes is good going! I take 2 hours to do a full debond/cleaning/shaving/rebond/styling process every week. I'm happy with that though and with the full scalp bond I get that security of knowing my bond is as secure and reliable as possible. Plus when I comb or style my hair it looks and acts like scalp hair. But I understand your preference of low maintenance.

Silver Streak,
I don't know the exact name of the tape but it is a lace tape and I use the non-shine one in front. I do have a very secure hold and I decided to change every 7 days because the tape then comes off easily without too much trouble.
RE: Another thin skin thread! - SilverStreak - 03-13-2013
Thanks OW....I heard the stickit tape is a good hold with very easy clean up....I hate the gummy messy mirror slide part or a de-re !!!
