Something I tried that might be helpful for the go-getting exercise gremlins among us...

I've noticed that there is a large volume of threads about incorporating a system into an active lifestyle (makes sense that anyone who wants to look good on top of their head would want the rest of their body to match!). I tried a little technique which I think could be helpful, but there are limitations to it.

Today I went on a 10k run. It's not the furthest I've run in my system by any stretch, but it's enough to compromise the glue on the hairline. When I applied the glue yesterday, I first added a layer of Walker Sport Max Hold scalp protector. However, I allowed a small amount of it to protrude onto my forehead just below where the hairline sits. To be clear, it was a tiny amount that I smoothed in with my finger - invisible once dry.

When I went for my run, the hairline held much better and once I had cooled down the bond was stronger than I would expect it to be. I think sometimes the sweat from the forehead seeps into the bond quite easily, which is why the hairline is compromised. This very small layer of protection seemed to make all the difference. I definitely wouldn't go to a dinner party using this technique, but if in your daily life you are planning to be active then it's something you can consider trying on the occasions when you perhaps may not be able to fix your hairline after a work out.

Nice Jimlad! Thanks for sharing your experiment, that is something I will definitely try when I start my journey in April. You da man bro!
