Scalp cleanup

RE: Scalp cleanup
The tape doesn`t normally disintegrate to the extent that strips remain on the head and on the lace simultaneously ....you may have some of the actual adhesive material which the tape is coated in, remaining on the lace ---just dab it with lace-release and do a mirror-slide[or rub it on bubble-wrap] after a minute or so....if that fails, apply some glue melter to it and do your `slide` again. If by any chance an actual strip of tape IS stuck on to the lace, just use some lace-release through the hair again...but I`d be really surprised if that happened..tape is surprisingly strong and remains intact usually and bonded to the head `in one piece`. You`ll be surprised at how easily the bond will break.
Clean your scalp by peeling off the tape and wipe the skin under it with glue-melter ...then just shampoo your head as normal.....if the skin sill feels a bit `tacky`once dry, just moisten a cotton pad with glue melter and wipe it clean.....you might like to rinse your system under running water at this point too.or shampoo it if you think it need it, but that`s usually only in the event of styling product building up... I find a simple rinse with water, and a daily misting with water while wearing , is enough to keep the hair looking `fresh`.... some guys shampoo more often.... it`s best to use a system-friendly shampoo and conditioner..... Lòreal `everpure` [you can Google it] shampoo and conditioner is fine...no sulfates in it. I would advise against using many of the popular strong styling waxes etc.... they will log the hair down and are hard to remove without vigorous `scrubbing` and strong shampoos ..... dryness is your main enemy so use a product [ not heavily] like Brylcreem or my favourite leave-in conditioner `` Enhance`` ..... I did a thread quite a while back on it titled `Enhance leave-in conditioner``...it`s somewhere down the forum. I always try to avoid frequent shampooing--the hair is not `dirty`as such....it has no natural oils etc. and dryness as I said is the main problem which will make the hair brittle and prone to shedding/snapping off......plenty of moisture-retaining product and applying knot-sealer to the knots [VERY VERY sparingly--do NOT apply this heavily---it should be practically not even visible to you as you dab it LIGHTLY on with a cotton pad or cloth---if applied too heavily it will seep through the lace and form hard clumps of your hair which can ruin your system..it`s a liquid acrylic material] Ideally, yes, you won`t really need any glue-melters applied to the lace as it will have lifted off your head `cleanly`by using lace release and allowing it to seep onto the bond and breaking it `cleanly`---- you`ll be surprised at how simple this is once you do it once.... it can get messy when a bond is left on too long or in very warm/humid weather conditions which can cause tape / glue to become unstable if a person is sweating a lot too.
