G2BG does not apply like regular glue. You apply it to your bare, dry scalp thicker than glue, thick enough for it to seep a bit through the lace but not too thick to make a wad in your hair later. ... |

Thread: Has anyone tried CP's "STICK IT" tape?
Post: Re: Has anyone tried CP's "STICK IT" tape?
I've never used stick-it, only supertape. It holds well on back and sides; I can only get 10 days max on hairline. No residue if you remove after a week or so. It does shine. |
