My unit--and this is really the truth--sits on a plastic stand in my lower desk drawer more than it's actually on my heade. I come into my office wearing a baseball hat, and then I sit at my desk and slap it on with tape every morning. Before I go home at night, the unit goes right back into my desk drawer. Glue just seems so hardcore . . . but this shiny tape thing has got to go, now that I'm trying to show more hairline. And I think it's just me, too. The Walker Non-Shine seems to work for most other people. And to "Unknown": Helping lawyers isn't such a bad thing; we're not all bottom feeders. That said, do you sprinkle the mineral powder foundation over the tape once it's on your head? Or are you suggesting I use a make-up concealer brush to dab it on once it's on my head? Thank you again, all of you, very much!

I beg to differ sir. Coming to work IN a baseball cap, applying your unit at work, THEN taking it off in order to leave work is hardcore. How in the world would using adhesive be more hardcore than that routine?! LOL Sounds like you are viewing your unit as a cosmetic enhancement specifically for work (like some women do makeup) and not accepting it as a PART of you. Like a suit jacket that you only put on for special occasions. Not that it matters I suppose . . . but it would make an interesting study.

There are a couple of ways you can do the concealer trick, but my preference is to use a concealer brush. You are doing it AFTER the unit has been applied to your head. Dab the brush into the powder foundation (loading up your bristles the same way you would when you are loading a paint brush) then shake the brush, and lightly tap it to remove all VISIBLE foundation powder. It sounds silly, but if it's clumped on your brush it will look clumped on your application. Then dab the brush to the any grid area that you would like to cover. I like to do that, then rebrush the hair in order to spread any vagrant powder that might have gotten away.

Here is a video that shows a variation to my method, but where the girl is apply it with a brush. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3m7J5hSixE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3m7J5hSixE</a><!-- m --> You notice on her's she uses tape and does it when the system is off her head. Her method is not my favorite but it will show you a concept of what I mean (Also she has some really annoying Beyonce music in the background, that I would not condone either)

Also, in my job I deal with lawyers and politicians on a regular basis, (um, county government and congressmen mostly) . . . I have met some with redeeming values, I will admit. I guess even in a coal mine, you might hit a diamond occasionally
