    Wearing for the first time but cannot seem to attach (scalp protector seems fake)

    So I should wait for 12 hours at least before testing the strength, right? Gotcha. Also, what if I use tweezers to pull hairs out of the newly cut hairline to make it graduated? I saw Curtis from MHE do it.

    Wearing for the first time but cannot seem to attach (scalp protector seems fake)

    A question regarding premade system; the hairline of my premade system is straight and although it is graduated, looks very unnatural. How do I cut it to fit my natural hairline? Do I use scissors or a blade or something else? Secondly, the liquid inside the bottle is blue as shown in pic...

    Yeah, I wiped it with alcohol but it still didn't bond to the system very firmly. Will try shampooing and then using alcohol this time. Not using the scalp protector anymore, will see how long I can go without it; at least 3 days is my initial target.

    I'll do that. Also, is it normal for the tape to come off with a hard pull 2-3 hours after its applied? How long do I wait before checking how strong the bond is by pulling the system?

    Wearing for the first time but cannot seem to attach (scalp protector seems fake)

    Hi Noah, I applied second time after reading Adam's comment and washed the system as well but without any soap or shampoo,; just dipped it in clean drinking water for 2-3 minutes. Didn't use scalp protector this time and the tape (Walker Ultra Hold) did stick but the grip seemed weak. After 20...

    Hi Guys, I just got my swiss lace base system with poly type parameter (check image) and I tried wearing it for the first time. (Maybe should've gone to a pro for the first time). Anyways, the guy I bought the system from also sent me scalp protector and tapes. I got no shine, stick it, lace...

    How Do You Guys Prep Your Scalp For Best Adhesion?

    Thanks for the response BB, could you please tell me how long it takes for the bond to become solid? I am afraid that if I go out while it's still fresh and a jerk friend of mine pulls my hair, it'll come off in public because it did when I pulled after an hour of application. Also, is it okay...

    How Do You Guys Prep Your Scalp For Best Adhesion?

    Hi, I want to know the steps for prepping your scalp for best adhesion especially for someone with dandruff problem. Also, is it normal for the tape to come off with a bit of hard pull if you have just applied it? I put the tape on and it started coming off with a bit of hard pull, I wonder if...

    Help!!! Facing Dilemma Between Opting For Minoxidil And Hair System

    You have been a big help in my decision, I have decided to get a system. I consulted with my brother who is a doctor and he said don't go for medicines as, without finasteride, it won't make much difference, especially in a long term. So I have decided to get a hair system after a few months...

    Help!!! Facing Dilemma Between Opting For Minoxidil And Hair System

    I get it, and you are right, hair club type of salons rip people off. But the one where I went, they told me that I don't have to come again for maintenance as they will give me a training of 4 to 5 hours which will help me do it all at home. Still, I agree with what you have said about their...

    Help!!! Facing Dilemma Between Opting For Minoxidil And Hair System

    Firstly, thank you, Noah, for taking some time to address my issue. You are 100% right, somewhere in my mind I want a hair system and perhaps I want others to tell me that I should get one, maybe this post is all about that. I have no problem with a hair system, in fact, I think guys who wear it...
