Different method of attachment
I just place tape back/sides on my scalp.
I only put tape directly on the lace for the front. (countour+2 proflex tabs)
I use a mirror behind me,
spray some alcohol to allow a little slip and slide for 10 seconds,
Tighten the lace to be firm against the skin and press.
I secure the front first and slowly move backwards.
This method takes me 5-10 mins to reattatch.
Benefits:
The tape is 100% on skin where it should be. With traditional method part of the tape may be on the healthy hair causing poorer attachment.
It's ok if the piece is a bit bigger. The extra lace/hair just hangs off.
I like Ghost bond, but I've been lazy lately.
I just use tape all arround.
Side/perimeter with stick-it.
Front with walker no shine countour tape. There is a bit of shine the first day, The next day after a shower it's fine.
Breaking point:
Ahh. . .The back and sides loose adhesion on my skin (7-10 days). The tape stays great on the lace though. I guess I have oily skin?
With Ghost bond I can get 2 weeks easily of solid hold.
I shower hair every other day (no shampoo/cond).
I may try blue tape directly on skin and stick it tape on top of the blue tape. This way I'll only have blue tape cleanup only on skin.
Thanks,
jim.
