Thread: How did you feel when you first wore a topper?
Post: RE: How did you feel when you first wore a topper?
| I had a reaction to tape once years ago, and it felt like my skin was burning. It was called "breathable" tape from Apollo, and I used it on the front contour. Had to remove it, and switch tape. It... |

Thread: Difference between synthetic and human gray
Post: RE: Difference between synthetic and human gray
| John, thanks again for the info. Another question about gray additions: when the order has a gray blend, does the factory have hair pre-blended to set gray increments or is it added as assembled? |

Thanks |

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. |
