I have tried many (if not all) tapes and never got more than 7 days hold. I have an oily scalp. currently wearing walker signature tape. My preferred routine for lace with poly side/back are sensitak tape on poly, noshine on frontal part, with a 1cm gap at hairline that I glue (ultrahold) or tape with walker 3mil . Blue tapeon lace is more of daily wear for me, green very shinny, don't see much of a difference between utrahold, truetape and the minitabs but they are difficult to clean off poly
There's also Walker Extenda Bond, Walker Pro Flex.
7 days hold would be great for me.
I never get beyond 4 days wear sadly as the itching gets too much. However it's mostly the poly edge area now I find.
I used to wear full thin skin and the entire thing itched like crazy.
I need to try different tapes or even glue with this hybrid.
Before I go for a full lace base.
I think full lace base will be the most suitable for me anyway. Maybe with Walker Extenda Bone that has the little holes in it for added breathability and able to shampoo through it.
I have a dandruff and dry skin problem where I need to use anti dandruff shampoo every other day or I'm scratching my scalp and that's even without the hair system on.
Full lace most of it will penetrate through to my scalp.
Whereas it won't penetrate a poly base or poly edge section.
I also have 1522 tape and 3M tape if it gets to the point if I have to cleanup daily.
I rather not, way too much hassle. I'd prob give up. But those tapes are easier to remove without cleanup residue.
It's definitely worse in warmer weather. So must be more than just the dandruff and dry skin issue.
I guess certain tape is prematurely breaking down under the poly edge section, plus added sweat and bacteria.
I still get some itching from my scalp in the lace area but it's gone after using anti dandruff shampoo.
The itching remains under the poly edge section, and is worse too.
Tape I used up until now was Walker Lace Front.
Other tapes I currently have to try are:
Walker No Shine, Extenda Bond, Pro Flex,Sensi-Tak,1522,3M tape.
