RE: New To All Of This- My Story
I wish I could say I felt & looked great.
I just feel & look 'right'.
Without hair I look & feel wrong.

RE: New To All Of This- My Story
I must be lucky in that I can knock out my de/re bond in 45 minutes to an hour. It still sucks though. Actually, I find cleaning the mirror after the mirror slide to be quite annoying!that and getting glue out of the hair.

Amstat,What's your routine please? I would be thrilled with a 90 minutes de/re bond time.

RE: New To All Of This- My Story
I just debond with 90 percent alcohol....use Desolvit on the scalp, let it soak for 5 minutes or so and scrape it off with a credit card. Apply more Desolvit and comb it through my own hair with a metal comb while in the shower. I use a rough wash cloth on my scalp with some dawn dish washing liquid to get the rest off of my scalp. Then mirror slide, clean the mirror, quick shave with the clippers wipe scalp down one more time with some alcohol, apply three coats of glue apply the piece, condition and style. 1 Hour on average.
The credit card trick is a real short cut!

RE: New To All Of This- My Story
Thanks for the quick response.What glue do you use and how long does your bond last?

RE: New To All Of This- My Story
I use ghost bond or safe grip. Get about 7 days from safe grip and up to 12 days from ghost bond. But since I am a runner and it is summer time, a week is the most I will push either. Usually get some lifting at day three which requires another application and touch up in spots. Heat is the enemy in this game I am realizing.

Amstat, cover the mirror with some cling wrap and do the mirror slide on that. Exactly the same effect, but instead of having to clean the mirror, you just remove the plastic and throw it in the trash.
