Hi Paul,

What a man you are! Amazing with all that information for me, you are a star. Hope your new piece is sitting well tomorrow after your trip to Salon. Be cool to hear about it, and how it's looking.

I'm not found a Stylist yet, but I have a few in Glasgow that are meant to be good, but that involves travelling quite a bit for me, so I'm going to see if anyone is closer up in the North here.

I'm thinking of going with a fringe for my first few weeks of ordering, I've been growing out my hair a bit. I've decided on buying Super tape and Walker No Shine tape, I've also went for Ultra Hold Glue along with Lace Release, Re-Align, Knot Sealer, Scalp scrubber and a Hair Trimmer. Do you think there's anything missing from that? I'm considering to go for a conditioner type thing, but would prefer to see if I can get that in a Boots/Superdrug type place, thanks for the tips on Gel/Wax etc, I'll go for that as well and give it a try..

In a nutshell, this is what I understand haha..
First look, is 6" or so for me, so i'm going to wear a fringe/bangs, I think for the first week or so, as I've not had my hairline exposed for a few years, as I've hid it under my hair , so maybe in a few weeks i'll be conifident after wearing to do that.
After cut-in, blending, colouring (if required), I prepare the scalp with the methods, then I apply tape round the Perimeter, and then no-shine at the front edge of the piece - say a few prayers haha! then, make sure my scalp is ready/dry for attachment and then place it on..
Also, re-align/adjust a bond stuff ready for helping me stick it on, and either stick it on to help if it's on squint.

Hopefully, it goes well, and then that's me for a while..

As for clean up, sorry again for the questions, but for cleaning the system - do you clean the underside(the bit that goes on your scalp)the lace even, or do you leave that alone? I'm a bit unsure about this , then once oyu've cleaned it , you leave it to dry, clean scalp,dry etc, and get ready when dry for attachment.

Once again, thank you so much for your help...
it's all coming together, ( I think )
have a good weekend pal,
