Hair System Adhesive/Glue or Tape...Which is Better?

@@jnd933 Sorry to hear that...are you applying it yourself or do you go to a salon or studio....your prep and application is a very important factor...what do you use?

@@hairlossconsultant6505 salon so much money for how long they last mine only last 2-3 weeks

@@jnd933 2-3 weeks that's a good result what are you talking about man

@@siemniak its really not

Hey Aamir, thanks for the great compliment! Here's the answer to your questions. 1) Ghost Bond Platinum, Professional Hair Labs is a long time favorite. Have worked with Howard and his sons for a very long time now. 2) When it come to the front hair hair line, lace you can add hair too, thin skin you cannot. Thin skin has less wear, due to it doesn't come in contact with the adhesive, therefore not compromising the injection, where as the lace, the knot is exposed and loosened by the removal of adhesive. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!!

Adhesive is always my personal preference for the hairline.

You are the true successful DIYer it sounds like! A lot of clients wished they had the ability and patience to do their own hair, but unfortunately not everyone can paint a flat wall, lol. Glad you found your groove and if you have any questions, feel free to ask and hopefully maybe you could pick up a trick or two.....I myself am always learning.

@@hairlossconsultant6505 Thanks for your reply. The FLOWBEE, for all the jokes it still gets. was a godsend, as it does precise cuts with an array of attachments, even to taper the sides and back. It's also hard to make mistakes with WAHL clippers, and I also have a Remington to keep my beard well groomed, with settings from 1 - 9. The hair thinners/shapers are an underused apparatus by so many DIYers that just so easily blends the hair from the system with your own. And using a hand held mirror is pretty easy. I got my first FLOWBEE in 1991 from Sears, and it lasted all the way up until 2 years ago! I'm 66 now, and still dye my hair to a light brown using Just For Men, and now and then trying all natural products. For great touch ups, the product DermMatch is just excellent. I've been in the entertainment business(musician/pianist/singer) for 48 years, and looks, style, and image always helps, especially when it can take 10 years off your age. I just consider it make up of sorts, but looking your best and having a full head of hair that looks natural has always been a confidence booster. The Hoolywood Lace or Swiss Lace base has always been my preferred choice, just so natural, see through, and terrific hairlines that are just basically undetectable. If there was a next Life, maybe I would come back as a barber. Then I could serenade my clients while doing their hair. :) What is your preferred type of system, company, and base? And how long have you worn a system? Great to chat with you! I like the Quiff style, George Clooney type of look, with a part on the same side as Cary Grant or Rock Hudson, and love having the hairline exposed as nobody can guess.

@@jonathansmith9235 can u pls send the link of tape used by you?

@@swayamrout5248 Hi! It's called "Walker" brand tape, available online at many sources. And, they have tape for every specific use and size, including lace front tape. I personally find it just so much easier and less messy than glue, and just as efficient, as I do maintenance after wearing my system for 7 days. Less cleanup and less time reinstalling. As far as systems, I find Hollywood Lace has, by far, the best systems available.

@@jonathansmith9235 sir I don't want to keep the tape for more than 3 days . Can I use walker tape for 3 days , then remove it and again reinstall the patch by applying walker tape?

Hey thanks for viewing my channel and the great input! I really don't use a lot of solvent when cleaning my systems...I find soaking them in water works just as great and less messy...check out my video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uFZ7xXGwu3Q.html...it might make things easier for you.

Hey sorry for the slow reply...🙏...From my 30 yrs experience, it sounds like adhesive, like Ghost Bond, is probably going to work best for you. The problem with tape in sweaty situations, is that when tape gets wet, it don't adhere anymore....where is might get gooey, but at least adhesive has some stick, until you cool down or able to change or touch up the adhesive....good luck.....thanks for the good question!

​@@hairlossconsultant6505I've been doing sauna heavy boxing sparing running basically anything in tape and never even once had a feeling it starts to loosen. On the other hand I have enormous problems with itching

Hey Steven Savage , not sure why you want to do that...my suggestion is all glue or tape edges and glue front hairline. This is if you use a co-polymer adhesive. If you use acrylic adhesive, people use tape to protect the base, but I don't recommend acrylic...hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Hey Kevin, have been associated with the manufactures of GB for over 25 years and used their product on all my client, including myself and have never experience headaches or any other side effects...they team at PHL is extremely conscious about safety.

Depending on the base. A poly base yes, but on the really thin skin you might run into the issue it sticks to itself because its so light and flexible. Lace systems I would not suggest it.

Hey T M thanks so much for viewing my channel! To answer your question 2-4 weeks is where everyone falls, activity level or not, when using a copolymer like Ghost Bond. Body chemistry really dictates how the adhesives break down. Extend a Bond Tape or Easy Green Tape from Walker Tape, some have better luck. Some people also use a scalp protector. Hope this helps!

I agree for lace, glue sucks, but for poly skin bases glue is much easier and not so messy. Thanks for the great input,

I use many types glue and I don’t happy I work out I lot and sometimes the glue come down to my face.. I change to blue tape is strong I put all around and also in the hair line I’m very happy with the results

@@gustavopalomino4036 Gustavo, how does the front line look with the blue tape? Is that the super thin tape?

They use the tape as a liner(barrier) from oozing into the lace. Poly skin there would be no reason for both tape and adhesive....great question! thanks!

@@hairlossconsultant6505 thank you!

First I have to ask, did you purchase through Professional Hair Labs, and not a knock off. Very unusual for people to react...also what are you using to clean up.....maybe this is causing your irritation.

Ok I used alcohol to clean it up, but isn't that good to wash it after i have applied it on my scalp

Hi Megha Desai, thanks for checking out my channel! I use Professional Hair Labs Ghost Bond. It is available, here is the info out of Ireland, Pro Hair Labs Saint Martins Road, Rosslare Harbour, Wexford, Y35 C434

I am currently in the process of moving up to Jupiter, FL. starting full time in March 2023. I have been in Fort Lauderdale for 35yrs, but am ready for a new journey. If you are looking for a consultation, let me know. My website is being redone currently and hopefully will be back online Feb 1.

Hi Sarah L, I need to know if you are securing to clean scalp or over existing hair?

@@hairlossconsultant6505 of course, sorry. It would be over a completely bald scalp. Top of the head and the hairsystem is full silicone with injected hairs.

@@Manila-wo3pi thanks! You can use Ghost Bond Platinum or you can use any of the tapes. Not a big fan of acrylic adhesives, but you could use Ultra Hold by Walker Tape. Any of these products will work. Some can work better than others so you 'might try both tape and adhesive. Hope this helps. Thanks for view and if you haven't already please subscribe.. thanks again Sarah L!

@@hairlossconsultant6505 wonderful Thank you so much and I will :)

Hey Lalit, sorry for the delayed response..with this Corona virus things are a little crazy for a short time!..But to get to your question...... I am a huge fan of glue or adhesive!...I find it just over all more user friendly. Most of the time I find that tapes are so good it is hard to remove the backing and by the time you do it lost its stick. As far as which adheres better, I believe for most users adhesive is better for strength and longevity. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Sorry you feel that way. I have worn myself and have delivered thousands of hair systems and no of my clients have any skin issues. As far as destroying what you already have...well just a reality... your own body is loosing more hair everyday with or without the hair system. I have seen damage and bad skin reactions, but usually because of bad instructions or uneducated stylist. Thanks for watching and good luck.

Yeah but if you pretty much have no hair on the top of your head, there's nothing left to destroy
