Super, thanks for the information. I’m thinking I might give it a shot. I’ve taped the back perimeter before and yes, the tape is a pain to get off. But, like you, I’d spray and just massage it in and peel at the same time. It’s really not any worse than cleaning the adhesive bonds. I’m learning...

I’m dealing with my scalp looking similar to yours. It’s taking days to clear up, but getting better. I just started wearing hair and no reactions with ghostbond for the first 5 weeks with multiple installs. But, my stylist used walker tape great white and my scalp didn’t like it at all...

I'm sure this is covered somewhere deep in the forums, but haven't searched thoroughly so apologies up front if this is a repeat. I made a post yesterday about my reaction to bond and have had my hair off for 3 days now while my scalp recovers. When I go to reapply, I'm considering doing tape on...

Right on - and even then, they usually still get the hair they do have cut so they must give a sh*t to some degree.

Thanks for your response. In my opinion, self-acceptance goes much further than wearing a wig. While wearing a wig certainly does play into ego and image, there is much more to self-acceptance. It actually took me a long time to get to the place where I would even be comfortable wearing a wig...

Thanks for the information. Definitely doing a patch test moving forward. It was interesting to have this strong of a reaction after having used this bond before. The stylist did use a scalp protector as well. The only other thing I can think that might have caused it was getting a little warm...

Believe me, I would love to get into a lace system. Just haven't been able to get one so I settled for poly just to try a system out to see how I liked it. If you have any tips on getting a lace or lace with poly perimeter, please let me know. No one has my color (5R or 6R) for the few that...

It’s been over 5 weeks since I finally got my system installed and it’s been quite the journey. I waited 5 months for the system to arrive and grew my back and sides out 3 times during the wait time - let me just say that this is the worst part of the entire process (well, I just experienced...

Hey man, good advice. I just started wearing two weeks ago and work out pretty hard at least 5-6 days a week. Lots of sweat and have noticed the front hairline gets pretty milky with the bond getting warmed up. It’s also pretty pliable for about 20-30 minutes until I cool down. What do you use...

Thanks for the response, sounds like you have a good routine. Pretty close to what I’m trying to do. Don’t want this thing to be more hassle than it’s worth. I’ve been shaving my head for close to 17 years so this was just a way to try a new style - got tired of looking at a cue ball in the...

Thanks, appreciate the response. Pretty much in line with what I’ve read everywhere. I’m trying to run the balance between being good to the system and being good to my scalp with the detach/re-attach. Given my activity level, I’m thinking every week is going to be the interval - just have to...

Hey all - just starting wearing this past week. So far, so good, just trying to establish my routine. Have read quite a few posts on here, so getting some ideas, but thought I’d summarize. About me. I’ve got a poly, thin skin (seems to be all you can get right now). Initial application was done...
