Is There A Water Based Adhesive That Only Needs One Layer?

Or two? 4-5 is so exhausting. Thanks!

Got2B Glue (Yellow). Most common bonding method I've seen in the hood

I swap between Ghostbond, Ultra Hold, Esha, Got2B (Black tube), 1522 tape. They all work out for me with one thin layer.
Got2B can hold 2-3 days
They rest can hold 7-14 , hairline touch up might require if l sweat a lot.

I can't believe you get 2-3 days out of Got2B - what's your application method? How long do you hair dry and don't tell me you really can get 3 days out of one layer of it!

If I go to the gym and sweat a lot. I can do 1-2 days. If I work in the office or indoor, the got2Be bond can easily hold it for 3 plus days. I only apply one thin layer.

Do you apply to perimeter or entire unit? How long do you wait before applying wig? Do you use a hairdryer?

Do you apply to perimeter or entire unit?
Depending on which system I wear:
UTS / entire until
Lace / perimeter

How long do you wait before applying wig?
2 minutes.

Do you use a hairdryer?
No

What base are you achieving this hold using Got2B (yellow bottle of white gel?)? I'm all lace. Maybe it adheres better to other systems or doesn't work as well for me. It's sticky for sure but a day max for me. I've never used it to attach a unit. Just touch up the hairline

IMO , Got2B is the most convenience bond for hair system. Mine is black tube clear gel, it's always work better on skin base systems. (l use tape and Esha for my lace system.) The Got2B clear finish that makes hairline look spotless and incredibly strong even though I have an oily scalp and sweat a lot. I thought Got2B won't work in humid climate countries and oily scalp but it turned out works fine for me. If you are a newbie , spray some alcohol on the system before the attachment, it will give you plenty of time positioning for the perfect fit.

It's odd, I could never get G2B to work for me. It gave a weak 1 day hold at best, and I'm sure if someone pulled at my hair then it would have come off. So I very quickly gave up the idea of using this.

I have a UTS system.

I use a white glue - it's specific to my hair supplier but probably similar to other white glues. I apply just one layer on top of a scalp protector (this is a spray from Hair Direct). This gives me a solid 7 day hold and even up to 14 days with a hairline touch-up in between. And that's in hot weather.

I found the scalp protector to be a game changer for me. I only use it in hot weather (like on holidays, or summer in the UK) and it prevents sweat from weakening my bond. To think, my system held on very well during a 10 day holiday where the temperature outside was 40 degrees centigrade!

What glue is that?

It's not a hair system glue; it's a strong hair gel people use for a temporary hold: https://www.amazon.com/Schwarzkopf-got2b-Glued-Styling-Spiking/dp/B005AKKSE8?th=1

So far, I've been very lucky that my body chemistry works great on all kind of adhesives without using scalp protector. . If l want to wear the system for a more than 3 days. I will use Ghostbond or Esha instead. Here's few pics from the hotel bathroom this morning. I started at 10am and walked out the room at 10:10am. At the end of the day, it only take 5 second to peel off the system and less than a minute to clean up the base. It allows my scalp to rest for 6-8 hrs every night (or every other 2 night). I don't need to worry about bacteria overgrowth.

Looks very real.

How quickly are you able to clean Ghostbond ?

Looks totally perfect.

 

[cottonReville]

Look at the photo I sent. It's called Got2B Glued. It's a white formula, a water-based gel. It does not last until your next shampoo, as advertised. It released with water.

Now that I've C22, I might as well try to Ghostbond XL or Bond Hold Active - two very well-regarded glues - which apparently leave a MESS on your base.

Your hair and hairline look amazing.

The problem I have is where you say "At the end of the day, it only take 5 second to peel off the system" because if (for whatever reason) someone (or something) pulled your hair then it would come off very easily.

I can't imagine doing things like swimming, football, exercise etc when I use G2B. It's just far too weak. But if you don't do anything active and your hair isn't in contact with people (so no risk of someone pulling it) then it's a good daily option.

I get it from my system supplier, Total Cover Plus. But I reckon it's similar to any other white glue out there.

Got2b isn’t as strong as other glues and definitely not recommended for swimming. However, it does have a strong enough hold for normal outdoor activities even in hot and humid conditions. Although it's easier to remove compared to other glues, it still requires a bit of strength to peel it off. If I removed daily, it takes an extra bit more alcohol or water to loosen the glue in order to detach the whole system from my scalp.
