Re: Newbie girl, looking for an answer on Qs from other girls?
hey there-
That system you have there is gorgeous. I'm sure you'll be happy with the savings you get with TL. Smile

My system is 18" long. I apply it with st-30 tape on the sides and back, and then Oil Resistant White Glue for the front. I do an i-lace island for a realistic part with french lace sides and swiss lace front hair line.

To apply, I shave and clean the top of my head. Put st-30 tape on the around the perimeter (except the front) of the system. Hold the system upside down and put the hair in a loose ponytail that I sort of twist up so I can use a butterfly type clip to keep the pony from flopping all over the place. I put one piece of tape sort of where my part is (remember, I have an i-lace island, so the tape doesn't shine thru) and i give it a quick spray of 'adjust-a-bond' so that I can position the system on my head and so that the part is always secured down nice and tight. Once I am happy with the positioning, I wait a couple minutes to make sure the center tape is secure, then I start removing the tape backing on each side of my head (starting at the temples), pull a little to "tighten", press down and keep doing this all the way to the back. I let the hair down, press again around the tape perimeter with a wide tooth comb. Flip up the front lace and clip to keep it out of the way. Apply glue; let dry; apply another coat; let dry. Bring down front and press into glue. Voila'. (Apply touch up glue to any 'stray' lace but cutting a triangle out of a stiff business card and applying glue to the underside of one corner, then sliding that under the offending lace.)

Hope all that made sense Smile
