Aligning your unit

RE: Aligning your unit
When you`re ready to re-attach your system, before you apply tapes to it, or apply glue to your scalp, sit the system onto your head----adjust it`s position until you`re happy that that will be it`s ` final` position......simply use an eye-brow pencil to lightly mark your skin immediately at/in front of the front edge ---these marks are simply to help you ` find` your position when ready to bond-on. Apply your tapes to you perimiter as normal..... apply your layers of glue immediately behind your marked-line at the front [assuming that you actually use glue there]. If you get yourself a bottle of `` Adjust-a-bond``, you can spray your scalp [including the glued area] with it, and it will delay the tape/s and glue from ` grabbing` your lace for about a minute...it `buys` you a little time to fine-tune your positioning...after a while positioning become very ` routine` ...just takes a little while to develop your skills with it. I use Walker No-Shine tapes... I apply my tape strips to the lace, I peel off the backing-paper, and then I ` reverse` the paper/s---- i.e. turn the shiny non-stick side towards the actual tape, bend-back [scrunch] a corner of it [so you can grip it later with either fingers or a tweezers in order to peel it off/discard it] I very lightly apply the backing paper to the tape strips.....this prevents it from sticking to the scalp..... I sit the thing onto my head, position it correctly, and then work my way around the perimeter, peeling off the papers, and bonding the tapes/lace to the skin..... it`s just a little ` knack` I developed. Also recently, instead of spraying lace-release onto my hair/system in a ` scattergun` manner, I use a glass tube which has a rubber ` bulb` on the end, which is normally used for administering ` drops` into the eye or ear....that way I can ` aim` the alcohol directly onto /at the part of the lace which has tape/glue under it and I avoid spraying alcohol onto the actual hair,as it has a drying effect on it. Will attach a pic of the type of thing I`m talking about--any pharmacy will have them in stock. Regards , and hope that helps.
