To reduce shedding, I've tried the knot sealer this week. However, I had no clue about how much to apply on the underside of the lace. First, I did it very carefully by dabbing with a cotton pad, but actually nothing happened at all. 99% of the sealer rather stuck in the cotton pad than on the lace, and only veeeeeeery tiny spots of sealer remained on the lace, if at all. That amount would never keep the hair from shedding.

So, I threw the cotton away, tried Q tips once (same issue as before) and then the edge of a folded peace of paper. That worked way better and I could finally see a thin white layer of sealer on areas of the lace. Lacking a cold hair dryer, I used the hot one for blow drying - but, of course, only for a short time because I didn't want to ruin the hair by the heat.

After some hours - thoughtlessly - I washed the piece (as it had to be done anyway... should have done it before, though!)... The sealer became white again and even a bit soft... It has dried clear again, and as it is a piece that I haven't put on my head, yet, I can't say if the sealer will be visible at all...

My main issue here is that I have no idea what the piece shall look like directly after applying the right amount of sealer. Could anyone who masters this one upload two before-after photos in high resolution, please?

Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
