This is excellent advice. Scalp protector will also help somewhat. With good glue and tape I've had no problems whatsoever at the gym, track, or any sport (also swimming and kitesurfing with acrylic base glue - but it's a lot messier to attach, and much more difficult to clean). Biggest...

I've been wondering about this as well. I have lace with poly perimeter just like Manny, and for breathability in the summertime I've considered full lace. However I'm worried about the tape hold on the lace. I've tried a mixed method in the front, with about half inch or bit less glue, and...

Thanks Noah. Glad to hear it's not too bad. I was just wondering if there's something else I'm not already doing to avoid this. There's no tape or glue on this area. I'm using Ghostbond XL in the front and Walker ultra hold on the PU area on the sides and back. For me Ghostbond is easy to...

Hi guys, Is it normal to have some hairs find their way under the lace? See the pic. This is after wearing about ten days, but it's about the same every time I remove it. No glue or tape on this area. They don't come off if I pull gently. I've had this piece for maybe 4 months, and been...

Yeah, I've tried to read a lot to learn. I think I got some of the basics. My routine at the moment is like this: Shower every 2-3 days, sometimes with a shower cap, sometimes rinse with water or conditioner only, but usually a normal shampoo + conditioner wash about twice a week. I get about...

Thanks. I'm new to the game, so I'm still learning. So far I'm skeptical about how Ghostbond will hold in the summertime. I break a sweat easily, and I plan to do plenty of outdoor sports, also in the sea, so I'm doubting how well the Ghostbond will hold. I've read that Ultra hold is more messy...

Ok, so according to some websites like wikihow, I leave in a special deep conditioner for 10-30 minutes, perhaps apply low heat. DIY versions may contain, bananas, honey, avocados, olive oil, eggs... I'll check the local selection of products before throwing my hairpiece in a fruit salad. Lol. :D

It's a lace base with PU horseshoe edge on the sides and back. I thought it's maybe not that important for the topic, but maybe it is. The products I've been using is Walker Ultra hold tape on the PU edge, and Ghostbond XL for the hairline. Will try Walker Ultra Hold glue soon as the summer is...

How do you guys take care of the hairpiece after an alcohol soak? I've done an alcohol soak a few times with 99% isopropanol, maybe once a month. (Isopropanol is the only kind available to me.) I feel every time after the treatment my hairpiece looks like crap, and loses some quality. I...

I went full DIY on my recent first piece (except for styling), and did the upside-down method with regular crafting scissors. Parting method seemed a lot more work for the same result. I was too careful with the measurements and cut it too big, so had to do it again, and patch a couple places...

Thanks. I'll see what's available, and try to stick to cool showers with Ghostbond in the meanwhile. Not a lot of the products are available locally, and some are shipped e.g via ebay only, Amazon doesn't seem to deliver liquids abroad. But since I'm in the northern Europe, the heat really isn't...

I'm new to the forum, and got my Swiss lace system (poly on back and sides) a couple of weeks ago. The advice from the forum users has been immensely helpful so far. I've opted for a cheap piece directly from China to try and see if I'll get used to the piece and the process of managing it. (I...

Hi there. I'm new to this forum, and just recently got my first hairpiece. I was going to post a question about the same thing. I've got a Swiss lace with poly back and sides, and I'm using Walker Ultra Hold tape with the poly, and Ghostbond XL for the hairline. After checking the forums, I...
