Hi: I've developed an allergic reaction to mainstream wig tape. I'm looking for a hypo-allergenic tape but I want something that is for a week only as I want a less strong bond until I'm sure that my scalp is happy with it. Can anyone recommend a hypo-allergenic tape (preferably in contour...

I'm interested in your comment that skin irritation after a few days may be contact dermatitis and not necessarily an allergic reaction. I've been wearing a system with tape for around a year. Just recently my scalp has become sore and red. Not unbearable to wear, but sore and with the odd...

Hi, I've been using tape for a year now and am beginning to get an allergic reaction to it. I thought I'd try scap protector and hypoallergenic tape and see if that works. I assume you have tried those and it didn;t work for you (?) I have never tried glue. But am curious that you get an...

Thanks. I will give it a go.

Interested to know how you got on? I live in the UK. When I had my first hair system last year I changed my passport photo. I don't think this is necessary, but I wanted to save any embarrassing questions.

Hi, I've been wearing systems for a year now and want to continue. I mostly use a salon, but have re-installed myself a couple of times. I'm not very good at positioning so I've just purchased some Just-Rite Spray. However, I've recently had some bleeding and soreness on my scalp. My doctor has...

Thanks...I can't make up my mind about the synthetic hair. I think under some types of lighting it does look less natural than bio hair. On the other hand, it really keeps its structure without a lot of messing about. I have rather got used to it. Frankly, I'm in my 60s and I'm not that bothered...

Hi, several months ago I had a hair system fitted by a salon. At some point I'd like to learn how to do my own maintenance, but am happy to return ever few weeks at moment for a re-install. The system is a mixture of bio and synthetic hair (I was told that grey is very hard to source for bio...

I should have mentioned that my system is a mixture of bio and synthetic. Not sure if that makes a difference in terms of whether or not to spray with leave in conditioner. I assume not..i.e. it should still be stored "dry", as it were.

That's helpful. Thanks for replying.

Hi, I've had a hair system for three months now and am thinking of getting a second one and then using the one I have now as backup in case something goes wrong. What I'm not sure about is: can I just wash the "old" (i.e. current) system, spray it with leave-in conditioner and leave it in a box...

sorry, i mean salon...

Again, that's extremely helpful. Many thanks. Early days for me, but I'm pleased that my scalp tolerates the tape/ glues and it doesn't really feel as if I have anything on my head.I think this is going to be my new life until one day (we can but hope) there is a real cellular cure which is not...

Thanks for replying. Very helfpul. And yes, I want to learn how to do my own maintenance: not least so I don't have to return to the clinic too often (I'd rather not try and trim what's left of my hair so I will still want to go back occasionally). My plan is to have one more re-install at the...
