The first thing you should do is try the St30 for the sides and back and even the front. Like I said if you can learn to apply the tape to your scalp in the front you don't have to cut them into strips. You can pull and stretch the tape to make it thinner and fit your contour. ST30 is very easy to clean when released properly. You should be able to cut your time down to 20-30 minutes once you get the hang of it.
