I don't wear because I'm bald bald but because I want fuller, nicer hair, with - especially - a lower hairline.
That's why I got into toupees.
With tape I could easily attach over a buzzed zone, but I'm finding the hold isn't adaquete with Ghostbond.
Using Got2B w/ UTS, I noticed it bonds very laudably to my forehead, but not so well on the rest of my scalp, which has growing hair.
The same is, more or less true, with Ghostbond. I seldom try employing that glue unless it's on an old piece I am willing to ruin - since I generally encounter trouble with it.
By trouble I mean, it holds well until my next shower, despite waiting 24 hrs.
I wonder if this is due to the fact that I am not bald. I never really considered it before because, with tape, this was not an issue.
During the Pandemic I was getting very strong holds with lace + Got2B, but I was trimming down before every application, as I wasn't applying frequently.
I tried the same with UTS, and the holds isn't nearly as good. I do believe Got2B works substantially better w lace than it does with UTS, or any poly for that matter, as the lace's ventilation lends itself to quick drying & provides more surfaces for the gel to cling to.
At the same, I noticed that, with UTS + Got2B, the hold was very, very good in the front, where it was attached to the hairless portion of my 5-head.
I honestly don't want to wear a partial as I hate the texture of my normal hair, but maybe that's the route I need to go?
For anyone who doesn't know, I am allergic to tape and acrlylic glue, but do fine w white glue. Soon I'll have a battered UTS piece on which to expiriment but I'm feeling maybe the fact that I have a buzzcut, and not a major bald portion from which a tiny hair sprouts here and there, is causing my bonding problem.
Thoughts?
