Skin System, Warm Climate, Prone To Sweat. Products?

[CountLippe]

There's amazing information on here but I'm failing to use the search engine effectively and am coming overwhelmed.

I'm getting my first UTS / skin system. I live in a warm enough climate that I am prone to sweat. Others here endure the same. Thus I'm hoping to understand what products I should be purchasing?

So far my (far too limited) search powers have seen me buy Walker Max Hold Sport for skin-prep. Got2B seems to be recommended by some as a glue, others as an emergency touch up method.

Any sage advice to help a sweaty chap out is greatly appreciated.

To be honest, you will find a UTS a HUGE mistake in a warm climate, especially if you are prone to sweating. For example, most everyone I know here in Israel uses French Lace (and unfortunately, some are still using Monofilament).

There are NO products that are going to help you, other than choosing a more appropriate base.

Thanks, I appreciate the candour. As it's only a partial as my frontal line looks like it is plucked nightly by drunken pixies while the rest is thick and unchanged by age, thus a UTS is what has been recommended. Given my inability (at this stage) to avoid the sweat outright while I get used to the thing and later, potentially, change to lace if I can master that, I was hoping for recommendations around suitable glues and the like that deal well with heat and sweat.

Ghostbond XL is a good choice for high heat/heavy perspiration situations. Good luck!

I agree with BaldBearded: lace would be more functional and comfortable for you. But in the meantime you could think of using a medical grade anti-perspirant (Hair Direct sell one called Maxxam which is good), and/or a scalp protector (clear barrier liquid) under your adhesive, to prevent your sweat and skin oils affecting your bond.

I almost bought Ghostbond XL yesterday, from the beauty supply, but the female employees told me it's a b**ch, that they get so many women in their after bonding their frontals coming back & complaining about the mess...

Is the mess w glue that bad? I feel like it'd be the perfect option for my hairline.

Here's a review of glues, however you take it:

If you watch further, the girl is actually gorgeous. I looked at her IG and her hair is always nice.

What I didn't understand is how she did so many bonds - probably in close consequence - and seemed to have no glue residue each time.

That said she washes, or rinses, her hair a lot in this video and I would assume drying that length would take a long time; so maybe she cleaned well in between sessions.

I found Ghostbond XL much easier to use than Ultrahold clear, which is very stringy when it comes out of the bottle.

I'm from a cold and dry place and I wear UTS. I'm traveling right now between Indonesian , Singapore and Thailand. The weather here is relative high humidity and hot. I found the humidity is insanely oppressive, extremely uncomfortable and off cause make me sweat a lot. I bought the lace system for back up however so far I'm still feeling very comfortable with the UTS.

Who can recommend a good deodorant for every day?

The problem of sweating is not so terrible compared to the problem of foul odor. It's what always bothered me in the first place. I think it's much more critical to eliminate unpleasant odor than to fight sweat.

Both is with UTS or poly.

I was close to giving up when I had them and went back to shaving my head.
Until I found out about hybrid and full French and Swiss lace.
However I sadly have a problem with all the tapes I tried so far. After 3-4 days they cause me crazy itching.
