Lace Is Twisted, Mangled & Out Of Shape.

[cottonReville]

What the hell happened? I was sleeping w my unit on and in the middle of the night haphazardly ripped it off my head, and pulled the tape off without using alcohol. This morning I immediately saw that lace had become twisted onto itself.

I thought maybe there was some residual adhesive in those spots so I used C22 and worked it specifically in those areas, then washed & conditioned.

Still, the problem continues. (I think it might have to do w severe tangling in the affected area)

The lace is VERY schriveled....

Very strange. I wonder if this is a quality issue with the piece.

C22 and conditioning and detangling brush did nothing - in fact, it's worse now.

Many hairs have become inverted, sticking out of the lace in toward my scalp. I think these hairs are the source of the shriveling.

This is a joke.

Piece had no issues before - don't know what went wrong. I pulled it off my head aggressively, without alcohol, in the middle of my sleep and the next day noticed some shriveling and knotting. Upon trying to correct, things got worse.

I also had a light attachment the night I ripped it off. I'd put 4 pieces of 3 by 3/4 inch pieces of tape on the base - 1 in the front, 1 in the back, and 1 on each side. I wonder if this lent itself to damage while sleeping.

I've never seen anything like that. It looks like some (not a small number) of the threads in the lace mesh have been pulled like drawstrings. I'm afraid I think your piece has had it. Have you got a spare?

 

[cottonReville]

Ya. I threw it out

yeas, seams like the cross stitching in the lace (example https://www.lordhair.com/icon-stock-super-fine-welded-mono-mens-hairpieces.html )
got pulled.
with patience and gentleness, you can maybe try to stretch it back in position, but as for the hair coming from the other side of the base, afraid not much can be done aside from cutting it and hopping you still have enough density
