Thread: A few Newbie Questions (w/ pics)
Post: RE: A few Newbie Questions (w/ pics)
| Hi Mr Kent

Thread: Packaging and glue
Post: RE: Packaging and glue
| You have to buy the adhesive separately. The packaging is completely neutral - nothing to show that it is a hairpiece. |

The stock unit density is a bit on the high side, and you won't look thinning, but it's not as high as the guys in those photos. I wouldn't be surprised if those male model types were bulki... |

Thread: scalp protector
Post: RE: scalp protector

Thread: strongest tape
Post: RE: strongest tape
| Are you letting it cure properly? It has to have at least 3-4 hours (ideally 24 hours) with no water and no heavy sweating.
Ultrahold Tape is about the strongest I have found. |
