Newbies simple (effective) idea, what do you think? - Carsten - 06-05-2009
Hello,
wearing since 10 days, applied my piece 3 times now. Every time I attatched I was sure
that I placed the piece not as perfect as Debbie did ( of course not!) & a little frustrated.
Now my idea: I made a template (the usual way with tape & foil), bit not of the scalp -
I made a template of my forehead from eyebrow to the hairline !
I attatch this template temporarly by puttin some waterdrops on my forehead and place it.
It will guide me throuch the attatchment process.
Now I have perfect edges (that show the hairline) and I know exactly where to apply the liquid adhesive.
It`s also much easier now to attatch the piece with this template on.
What do you think ? Best regards Carsten

whatever works for you mate, personally i like to make little marks on my scalp at the front before i place my piece.
What do you mean by water drops by the way ?
I know i could have got my mom to help with the attachment to make it perfect but this is something we really need to be independant with!

That sounds like a really good idea Carsten.. Have you tried it yet? I have a habit of over-shooting the hairline with glue, leaving an extra 2-3 mm of glue in front of the lace, which the hair often gets stuck into. I might try your idea out!

Yes, I tried it yesterday for the first time & it worked so good for me, that I needed to tell the forum about this immediately.
You need the waterdrops between your skin and the template as it strenghtens the adhesion while you wear it (you don`t need to hold it !).

I kind of tried what you are doing, but i took it a step further. Instead of making a template of my forehead, I made a template of my hair system front. This way the template matches exactly the front shape on the hair system itself. I used this template to make a glue maker for my head. this way its not only the right distance but the glue shape fits as well. i do not use this method anymore because i like attaching from the back first.

To get rid of the glue in front of the hairline after setting the piece, I just use scotch tape. So easy !
