Post: RE: Trying a new attachment method

I have tried tape but i have a horrible reaction to every tape I've tried. It gets red, very swollen, and painful. Walker tapes are actually the worst for me.

Post: RE: Trying a new attachment method

I only wear an exposed hairline. I marked on my template where my hairline meets my temples so the poly lines up perfectly.

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...

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...

For me, a game changer was using a gel attachment. I have poly sides and back on my Swiss lace units. I was using OWRG all the way around for a parimeter attachment but the clean up was a pain. Especi...

Post: RE: System comes off without lace release?

If you're using ORWG you could be like me. My chemistry just destroys glue. After about 5 days or so I can just lift the piece right off without lace release. I have very oily skin too.

Post: RE: System comes off without lace release?

I use ORWG. It's the only glue that doesn't cause an adverse reaction for me. You could try Walker's Scalp Protector. This works pretty good for me. I can get about 6-7 days when I use this. I put on...

Coolpiece.com has ORWG pretty cheap. That's where I order mine from. $6 for a half oz bottle or $64 for 12 bottles.

What kind of powder did you use? Some powders have a slight pearlessence <sp?> to them which I would think could make the grid stand out. Just thinking out loud.

Thank you so much Hersute!!! The last edit does look the best. Here's a slightly edited version of that hairline. This is exactly the look I'm trying to achieve. Do you think this is possible?
