ive been wearing for years,since i was 28 im 35.i see people talking about using just tape.so i guess im assuming tape alone will hold your hair on?ive always had to do fully poly perimeter red liner tape(but ive tried them all it seems) to the poly then ultra hold on scalp and bond and that last maybeeeee 2 days max.i lift in front by end of day one,if i go out clubbing it has to be redone before i go,i mean im oily skin and workout 6 days a week and live in the south when not on the road for work, but i mean tape for me is an i need to run an errand pop some of those extenda bonds tabs front and back and sides and throw a hat on so if im somehow pulled over and arrested i have hair on kinda thats it.its not a secure hold.am i doing something wrong or am i just an ocd perfectionist,i mean im a pro at this.i use rubber gloves to apply so i have a oil free bond.i have it down.im a makeup artist and the fact i wear is not a big deal in my world,i change from long to short to whatever at will,its like a fashion accessory.during fashion week i change hair twice a day.i find if you call it extensions or weave its kinda cool.its not the fact i want it perfect so no one knows but i just want it to stay on.i dont mind them knowing its fake ill call myself out especially with a prospective friend for the evening and call it extensions and its always just ohh cool.better that than have to be self conscious all nite a stray hand will feel the seam. i just dont want to be seen in transition because once your seen with that bozo horseshoe head you go from hot and sexy and wearing cool extensions thats a mystery as to exactly how it works and whats yours and isnt immediately to an old bald man with a toupee. that bushy back and sides with bald top is just the worst,i hate to see myself in that state.but i digresss,i usually wear it all tossled long bangs to eyebrows all forward ,very messy and imperfect kinda surfer hair,lotta movement so maybe thats whats lifting it?i mean as hard as i work out theres no way in my experience tape alone wouldnt leave me doing a backflip(i do gymnastics alot) and land bald.ohh then i saw some people use a friggin styling gel or something to hold,how in sweet baby jesus name can a styling gel hold on a piece of hair secure enough you dont walk around all day clenched stomach in knots ur bout to age 30 years if you cough too hard.do you all with just tape have solid i can grab your hair and pull and its locked down bonds or is it just on.i mean you never know how the day will end and with who and if your cant stand a lil pull whats the pont of looking good.i wanna know how to acheive it because ill admit i invest alotttt of time on my appearance and truly it isnt hard now,i can remove clean and rebond in 20 minutes but thats everyday.its just routine like any imperfection at first its difficult to navigate but after a while its just your life but if i could get a whole day with tape securely it would be alot easier than removing and retaping and gluing.i can tape my hair in 3 minutes.i just hold the roll to my head and i start rolling all in one long piece i circle around,if a tape alone would work it seriously would change my life.i could remove my hair clean and retape during a commerical break.im super fast at taping.its when glue comes in that takes time.
