Hi tyler... I have a poly strip around the sides/back so I find a few little strips of tape does me fine there and I use glue on the front....again...it`s a matter of choice.....there are a few new threads/posts there now on how guys attach and their preferences....I assume you`re going to a salon anyway for your initial cut-in ? If it`s one of the ones recommended here, they`ll be able to advise/show you how to do it ...I guess tape is easier to work with initially around the back and sides as you only have to peel off the backing strip and bond the system on rather than applying layers of glue, and positioning the system ...you`ll get the `hang`of it in no time..it`s not as tricky as you might think....
