Walker no-shine is good too [tape] but you can mask any shine from tapes by rubbing a tiny amount of glue onto the surface of the tape and spreading it ....JRob`s Fullcap video shows how to do it before applying the tape to the system etc. I`d recommend any newbies [especially] to get a copy as it covers wearing from making a template, to tape attachment and going for your cut-in, with a lot of hints and tips...if interested, you can check it out at hairjive.com
