Hello,

I have been wearing for three weeks now, and the stylist insisted on going "hardbond". I knew deep down that there was some mentions on the internet that its toxic and such, but I ignored it just for a one-time try.


Well,.... my scalp did get very itchy, almost unbearably so, and when I took it off, there were many red parts on my scalp (some bleeding) where the poly portion of the unit was hard-bonded. Furthermore, the hair that was underneath it was toast. Like, did't grow at all in comparison to the surrounding hair. So imagine a big "U" of ungrown sickly looking hair with some red breaks in the skin (either from itching or just having glue there for 3 weeks)

So now, I know it is supposedly toxic, very itchy after a week, harms my skin, and possibly is killing my natural hair follicles.


My only issue is that I WANT my backup plan to hairwearing to be a good old fashioned head shave. I mean, that's why I went hairsystem vs transplant. I knew that a bad transplant would scar me for life, but a hairsystem is a choice. I could do with it or without it as long as I dont disfigure myself in the process of trying to look better.


So, with that said, does anyone know any additional reasons not to use a hardbond glue for 3 weeks at a time? (i was dying of itchiness at week 2)


If I had the discipline, patience, and skill, I would probably use Got2B glued on the poly and ORWG, ghostbond, or tape for the hairline. But I find the process pretty laborious. I am thinking of switching to thin skin since it may better suit my lifestyle and desire to use Got2B everywhere while not having to worry about excess Got2B seeping through lace and hardening my hair. My only issue is my stylist. I signed a "contract" with him but he said that if people want to leave, they can either "buy out their system" (which is a cheap system worth $200) at $1000 (ridiculous), or give him back the systems and walk away (somehow I feel I'll get shafted if I ask to do this). He is also one of 2 stylists in my entire city, so I'll be burning a bridge there. *sigh*


Alright guys, rant over. I can post pics of the hardbond damage to my scalp, but thought I'd leave it out unless requested by someone personally.
