All the same, I don't think an allergic reaction like that will have killed off your hair follicles in that space of time. My understanding is that that only happens because of traction over time. I think your hair will grow back. I had a hardbond when I first started wearing, and that was my experience. It would help to see a photo though. If you don't want to put it on the web, email to keltinthedelta at yahoo dot com.

Acrylic hardbond and Got2BeGlued are not the only options. There is a huge selection of water-based glues and tapes which will give you 7 - 10 days of hold without the allergic issues. Why not consider one of those instead?

Yeah. I did overreact a bit. Looking back, the lack of hair wasn't due to it not growing back. But rather because he removed the system quickly by using clippers to cut away the hair stuck to the glue. My mistake.

However, I did have red bumps and one was bleeding. My stylist insisted it was my fault for scratching. But I honestly do not know how to last 3 weeks with the same hard bond on the back poly without it itching like crazy. The red bumps I had were not a reaction, but just due to the dirty condition - basically from not having cleaned the area in a long time.

I am still learning the ropes of wearing. I just want to climb the learning curve before I give up and take it off. Some things seem impossible to me, like getting a perfect bond at the hairline. I can never get it to work with tape (even my stylist's front tape attachment isnt undetectable and lifts). And I know glue is to be used for a hairline attachment, but I dont think I can get that done without removing the entire system off for cleaning when im hardbonded for 3 weeks at a time on the poly back and sides.

Since I am not exposing my hairline anyway due to this, I am thinking of going thin skin. Does anyone know the best options for bonding thin skin?
