Hi all. I've seen some people on here talking about Walker's 'Lace Front' tape, and I see it also has good reviews online. I was wondering what the difference is between 'Lace Front' tape and other 'Ultra Hold' or 'Extended Wear' tape. I have used 1 inch Walker Ultra Hold tape (from a roll) before and it was great, and then I switched to Supertape 1 inch rolls instead as it is more or less the same as Walker Ultra Hold but is more cost effective.

Anyway the product descriptions say that Walker Ultra Hold and Supertape are for extended wear of 2 - 4 weeks (although I never usually go beyond 2 weeks), and likewise for the Lace Front tape, it says it's also for 2 - 4 weeks hold. So what is the difference?

The difference between the Ultra Hold and The Lace Front, is that the Lace Front is thinner, and is a bit "stickier".

The Lace Front is a bit harder to attach to the system, and when you remove the system, a bit harder to remove from the Lace (or Poly) base.

I myself, and my clients like the Lace Front because it gives a longer hold.

My only experience with Supertape... was it failing on me... so I don't have any client examples, since I only buy Walker Tape Co. products for the most part (I use Ghostbox XL for hairlines for a couple of guys... and their no sweat, shampoo and conditioners),
