Hey guys!
just wanted to share a quick story to let you know it’s possible to make you system last long enough if you take care of it.
I bought this lace system June 2020 and I’m still using it right now, which is around 1 year and 3 months. A month ago a small tear appeared on the front, so I did a small cut around it to prevent it from spreading as you can see on the pic. I’d be interested to know which type exactly of lace system is it, if any experts can give their opinion thanks!
It took me lot of trial and error to get a proper routine, but this is my current routine:
- I reinstall it each 10 days on average as that’s when the tape starts to melt.. also I practice sports 6 times a week so that’s maybe why I don’t get the 3 weeks that Walkers Tape advertise on their product.
- I use C22 for cleaning it, and Walkers Tape Release to release it
- I only rince/wash it with cold/slightly warm water
- Shampoo: OGX Argan oil of Morocco shampoo
- Conditioner: OGX Argan oil of Morocco conditioner
- I wash it (with shampoo) while installed maybe each 5 days, sometimes less
- I don’t cover all the poly surface with tape, I space out the tape bits maybe by 3-4cm, so it’s 3 tape bits on the front, 2 right side, 2 left side and 1 or 2 on the back. I found that it helps with evacuating sweat
- I use a dry hair conditioner by Quintessence, although not very regularly
- i spend lot of time under the sun in the summer so I try to use a hat or bandana where possible, but still the color became quite bright. It was dark 1B
- obviously it got less dense in general, and some areas in particular are more empty than others: those from where I brush the hair. But it’s still more than reasonable.
Most advice I got them from Noah and BaldBearded, big up guys!
I think that’s all which is useful to say about it
Any questions let me know and good luck!
