RE: 2 videos from Norway - comments?
Hi Apollo, That glue sounds like the one I use -- I have just received my second Toplace unit, as I said, but I had a large tub of glue from a Salon I used to use in Dublin, and I use that on the lace front and short strips of tape on the poly perimeter. The glue I use is called Tracksafe, and is actually made in Ireland. I have read on the forums of wearers who use tape on the lace at the front, or profiles, which are basically strips of tape in the shape of a boomerang to fit to the curve/point at the front hairline. I ordered a bag of profiles from Debbie but I actually never used them, and use the glue instead - I think a lot of people seem to use tape all around the perimeter and a profile at the front -- I think the trick is to leave a small area of the lace overlapping the tape [maybe 2 or 3 mm ] and to use glue on that area in order to provide an undetectable transition between your growing hair and the system. In your case, I guess there is no real need to have as near -perfect a bond as possible, as your wife knows you wear so it`s not so much of an issue. Other wearers who use mostly tape all around their all -lace systems would be better to advise you on which tape would be best to use. If you look at Debbies`site, there are different tapes with different strengths for short term bonds up to long term bonds. As I said, I have a poly strip around the sides/back and lace front,so I tape the poly in a few places, and a light glue at the front, as I take it off nightly. I`m off to the stylist tomorrow for a cut -in. I took pics today of the system as it is now, including the strip of excess lace at the front before I trimmed it off --some people who order their first unit,see this strip of lace and are not sure what to do with it. I only ordered the hair 3 inches long this time, in order to make the job of the stylist easier --- I wear my hair fairly short, so there is no point in ordering 6 inches of length, and half of it ends up on the salon floor after a lot of work by the stylist --- I reckon tomorrow will not take half as long to style -in as a result. I took a pic of it just popped onto my head as it is now ( not attached) and will take another when it`s styled, just so people can see the difference .
Have a look here tomorrow [wednesday ]evening and I will post have the pics uploaded.
Can anyone give Apollo advice on whether you consider tape or glue to be better for the front?
Best regards, Paul.
