Seems intelligent.... bounce from product to product, without knowing what the causational issues are.
Im trying to know but i havent an answer yet.

“While water-based liquid adhesives have a small amount of acrylic in them”

i read this searching..do you know if is this right ?
Im was going to try water based liquid but after reading this im in doubt

Yes, most of the common water-based hair system glues have acrylic in them. But that isn't a problem for most people. The watercolours that kids use at school also have acrylic in them. However, since you evidently have sensitive skin, doing a skin test on your inside upper arm is a sensible precaution.

Acrylic glues are distinct from cyanoacrylic - marketed as Krazyglue or Superglue. Those are a more controversial choice for use with a hair system.

ohh what a bad news. I think im allergic to acrylic since i had a reaction to the tape's glue which is acrylic-based...even in small amount will cause again a reaction.

Worth doing the test just to make sure. If it turns out that you have an allergic reaction to acrylic, you could try spirit gum instead. It's an old-fashioned adhesive which doesn't give a long hold, but it is very safe and looks good. They use it in theatres for sticking false hair etc, so you should be able to source it locally.
