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... |

Thread: System comes off without lace release?
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. |

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

Post: RE: Removing the shine in the hair line
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. |

I'm on my phone looking at this but when i zoom in looks as though they didn't use single stand single knots at the front. Using singles makes the knots half the size and much less visible. |

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? |
