    Does anyone here even use full head bond with liquid adhesive besides me?

    I used full head liquid adhesive for a couple years. I've moved away from that and use tape now. But I liked the fit, feel of bond much better, but in Texas, the sun just gets too hot and the bond breaks down really quickly. I was doing every other week maintenace, but in the summer time...

    Anyone here used Super Hair Pieces ...?

    I would not even begin to know how to begin cutting in a system. I can’t even put mine on straight half the time

    Anyone ever used Vapon Tapes like Lace FX?

    im pretty good at taping it up, etc. my problem is actually getting it on my head! I’m wearing shorter styles, and the margin for error is very slim. If it’s on slightly off, you can notice it. I use the lace release stuff, but by the time I get it back on, the spray had dried/evaporated.

    Best hair dye brands for hair systems

    i have a patch of synthetic gray vented in. It too much of a shock of brightness right where I part my hair so I used Back2natural to tone it down. I wouldn’t like it covering it used across my entire system- my hair would be too dark.

    Pieces with low density. Took me a while

    I typically go three Months. there are other people who are much better at the whole maintenance process than I am that get substantially more life out of one system.

    Pieces with low density. Took me a while

    your hairline looks amazing! I wish mine looked like that every time ! I had never thought about ventinf In an additional shade of brown. That effect is spot on! I think it’s interesting that you also have to push your stylist to thin more. i wear hair for me, and I’ve always wanted...

    Pieces with low density. Took me a while

    Thank you for the compliment. the photos in my first post are not custom. I have 40% gray vented is, that’s it. This is a lace front, poly perimeter. pretty standard stuff. I use a salon for my cut in and maintenance. This is where the realness happens. I order light density with a...

    Pieces with low density. Took me a while

    One of the things I do to keep my hair looking realistic is changing styles. New systems start off longer and with shorter sides (bio hair).then as the system she’s I let the sides grow a big and then cut length off the system. Then next time cut the sides and leave thd system length. What I...

    New and wanting to buy a system but have questions ?

    Daily wear is a HUGE commitment. cleaning it up, taping it up - no problem. And I can do that fairly quickly. But what should take only a few minutes takes me much longer when it comes to placing the system in the correct spot on my head. I still utilize a salon, so they correct my...

    Keeping A System Fresh After Maintenance...

    I was a full bond die-hard. I finally got fed up with the issues of breaking down and the stress to clean it up. In this Texas heat, I’d do well to get 5 days out of it. So I decided I’d give tape a try. Even on the hairline. I could not believe it, but I loved it. I use a walker tape on the...

    Anyone just have low density in the front gradually going up to thick density in back?

    I don't know that I agree with this statement. I am 60 years old, and it is just not natural for a guy my age to have this wall of hair at the hairline. Unless it is stated on the order for graduated hairline, we have to really work to thin it out. I would recommend @mulder that you...
