RE: First Piece just cut in, need help!! (photos)
It`s very possible that whatever glue and / or tape was used, does not hold up well to your individual physiology -- it`s always trial and error at the start to find which products work best for you... I just wish these manufacturers would make ` sample size` [ glues particularly] products so a person doesn`t have to pay a lot of money for a tub of glue, only to find it`s not working well for them...the initial ``set-up`` costs of getting supplies can be high.
Back to your issue: If it`s causing you such a degree of problem [lifting etc.] well, you can`t be putting up with that........ you haven`t supplies to hand [everyone who`s ordered and is waiting on their first system should always, always, get in a full stock of maintenance / care products before the system arrives] so you could simply go to `Walmart` and get one of those Citrus solvents I mentioned before.... also, a tube of ` Got2bglued` spiking glue, and, in the absence of system-specific shampoo, you could use `Johnsons baby shampoo` [the `No more tears` one ] If you can get one of those little eye / ear drops applicator tubes in a drug store, get one as the`re very very handy for ` targeting` your lace-release etc. to where it`s required i.e. directly onto the bonded area of lace, rather than spraying it into the hair from the atomiser bottle which it comes in......you know the little glass tube with the rubber bulb on the end ...you just suction some liquid into the tube, then squeeze the bulb to eject the liquid where you need it ..... Apply citrus solvent with your dropper, around the perimeter where the tape/glue is ....allow it a few minutes to attack the adhesive [ shouldn`t take long by what you`re describing ]..... once the system is off, give the base a rinse -off under the shower-head...use only lukewarm water......you can apply the baby shampoo to the wet lace --allow it to sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off again, using the shower head....you might have to re-do it just to ensure all the citrus solvent if out f the hair [knots] and lace because it can interfere with a new bond.....clean your scalp with solvent too ...keep it out of your eyes.....spray it on and allow it a few minutes to attack any adhesive residue..wipe it all of with kitchen-towel , then hop into the shower and clean your head/hair as normal. You squeeze the excess water from the system, then gently blot it dry on a clean towel ---don`t rub-at the hair.....when it`s almost dry, gently brush it with a brush which has nylon bristles /teeth which have rounded tips...the tips prevent the brush snagging in the lace.......when it`s dry, apply two thin coats of Got2b to your scalp...allow the first to dry / cure a bit, then do the second one ...pop your system on then when it`s still wet [ the got2b] You have a short time to slide / ` adjust` the position of the system when using Gt2b [unlike ` proper` glues]. That will at least ensure you have a nice strong bond with no lifting for a couple of days...you may get a little lifting here and there but you can easily pop on a little more Got2b as required.......that will tide you over until your supplies arrive. Nothing more annoying than feeling that degree of looseness and ` visibility` so just sort it out yourself as I outlined ..it`s easy to do!
