Thanks for the past John! I only get glue in the hair when i wear a hat or a bandana. I wait until the glue is dried and tacky, it's just that my body chemistry breaks down ORWG very quickly and it ge...

For me, when I sweat the gel loosens up but it dries rock solid with no reduction of the holding power. I would love to be able to have a great 2 week attachment with easy clean up but at this point t...

Post: RE: cutting system hair with clippers

First, the blending. Even though you order say 65% density, the density will still vary from piece to piece. Additionally the actual thickness of the hair shaft can vary from piece to piece. Because o...

Post: RE: cutting system hair with clippers

Cutting in a system isn't quite the same as cutting normal growing hair. This is especially true when it comes to blending. A good stylist that has spent years cutting in systems knows the little tric...

Well I cut my own sides and back every week with a #5 guard. I cut the top of my sides and back with a #12 and I fade from #5 to #12 by hand. I cut my own hair for 10 years prior to wearing so I'm qui...

Just an update. I've found that the Got2B Ultra Glued styling gel holds even better if you have some hair under the poly. I actually the sides and back of my piece brought down a little over an inch l...

I think the system starts right about here where the red line is. I really can't tell but that's a close approximation.

It's a full topper. The crown is part of the system. I can try to draw approximately where the system meets my own hair but even i can't tell in my pics, or in real life. I have to feel for the seam. ...
