I`m the same Henry----mine looks total crap after sleeping on it and needs to be washed/dried to make it look `proper`again.....that`s why I remove the system nightly...I don`t want/need to wash the system daily. I think the only real solution [because you cannot `switch off`your scalp from producing oils] is to make a bigger template and get a bigger --maybe 3/4 -- system covering more of your own hair, just leaving the very ends visible/blended in with your system hair. I guess full caps look really attractive for people with this `problem`? Paul.
