Just joined, 1st post. Daily wearer, with tape, which I tend to leave in place for days Seems to work, but too difficult to remove form base, and I know it is wearing out the base. Can't afford to keep replacing the system, and need to make it last. Is there a tape that is easily removed from the base, but will give adequate scalp adhesion even if only for a day or 2? I won't mind frequent tape changing, as long as it is easily removable from the base. Thanks.
Daily Wear Tape But Easily Removal From Base?

Honestly don't know what it is. The area I apply tape to is the front, from temple to temple, actually a lazy U section in front, and a very short section at the temples. This base section runs from temple to temple, and is about 5/8 inch wide. The tape removal is damaging it. I suppose even a water soluble glue could do the job. As I mentioned, I wouldn't mind replacing it every day or 3, and I daily wear. The rest of the base is some sort of a web, or net, and the edges are held with clips. No problems with the clips. Thanks.

It sounds like the tape area is not lace (netting), so I presume it is some kind of plastic. Post a picture of your base if you want confirmation. The most popular daywear tape for that kind of base is the white-backing tape. Hair Direct sell it in various shapes and sizes here:

When you take your unit off, you leave the tape on it, and you can reuse it.
As a matter of interest, why do you prefer to detach daily? Is it just to prolong the life of the piece?

A tape with weak adhesive would be ideal for 1 day use, or a tape with weak adhesive against the base, and stronger adhesive to the scalp, would work, I think. I know there are strong/weak, double sided adhesive tapes in office supply stores, but not really designed for hair system use. Any ideas?

Klynt - all the items on the page I gave you (link above) are the same tape, just cut in different shapes and lengths (except the two rolls of cloth tape in the bottom right hand corner - ignore those). Just pick the one that best suits your requirements and the shape of your hairpiece.
