Do we trust custom orders now? I want to make sure I have things ready for mid 2021

What is the realistic time right now for delivery? Isn't China mostly back to normal?

Yes. But also let's not use language that stigmatises wearing in the first place yes?

I have to say that right now trying to modify your piece as a newbie is a bad idea. Replacements may not be forthcoming

So far I've used sport hold, the regular red scalp protector and the thick one. Honestly it's so difficult to gauge these things because the weather.. How well you keep cool for the first 24 hours and how much you exercise... Its just not possible I find to gauge this.

Yes I'm switching to all tape. It's lace with a poly rim. I use ultra hold mini tabs on the poly and then extenda bond tape at the front. I'm going for much shorter attachments now to help this out

Is there any good alternative? Especially with the current situation I want to make the most of this system and stretch out its life

The other side of that question is the fact that the knotting is now being done in China, and likely under time pressure. What is the effect on quality?

Is there a good way to clean a lace system? I've tried c2w a few times but I'm always wary of making it difficult to get rid of the oily residue. This includes the base and anywhere there is seepage onto the hair. If I was to liberally use C22 would it actually wash out using shampoo?

I tend to get about a week now. That's with the sport hold scalp protector and ghost bond xl. The issue for me is less about seepage, but more about avoiding the cleanup from hell. If it breaks down too much you just end up resorting to rougher cleaning methods. Whereas a bond that's less...

Got to be honest. That hairline was pretty bad. I quite like this new one. OK so moving on. Tape also will seep. I actually had a very bad experience with that. Personally i use glue on the front but tape on the poly rim.. I'm switching to tape because it's easier and I don't expose my...

What if you have washed off the silicon? I am currently wearing a piece which has had its day, but I can stretch it considering I'm not going out in public really. I then have two that I've worn for 2 weeks each. What's lifespan on these now, without being worn? And what's the way to care for...

I do front with glue only. Personally I find I have to redo the front with ghost bond xl weekly. It's a scale. Going from good, to getting difficult to clean off, to seeping and messy.

Can I just ask before I order my own. Specifically which tangle teezer should I get? The one for fragile and coloured hair? For a lace system.

I was looking at getting one.. But as fate would have it I found one at the top of the stairs this morning! The pink one. It's worked well. My vent brush has a habit of snagging at the front of the hairline hands but this cleared those out. I'm not sure I'm comfortable using it on lace too...
