Nailed it 1- shave area to bond 2-90% alcohol. W cotton ball 3- scalp protector 4-MAX HOLD 5-adjust a bond 6-my unit is taped and ready to go. Go slowly placing the unit and the adjust a bond gives you a maybe 25-45 second gape to adjust the unit perfectly. I use tape so I then press it down old school way. Take a pillow case and wrap head down for 5 minutes of pressure. DONE. all learned from watching this channel. Thanks Curtis
@@swayamrout5248 yes. I find tape is way less of a mess and the hold using walker tape can last two weeks plus. I believe it’s easier on the piece because I use a silicone adhesive release product that makes the tape literally glide of the piece without pulling a hair out of the lace system. Other release products always pull many hairs out of the piece
Fantastic. You truly are the best resource for hair systems -- by any brand or vendor, for any need. I started out watching your videos, then abandoned the idea as it just seemed like a lot of work. Recently came back to the idea of a hair system and started checking out your competitors. Here I am right back where I started, your channel, and I think I'm finally ready to give it a shot! I'll be buying from you first!
Thanks for the video, Curtis! I actually found the right tape for the front hair line. It's Walker Lace front Tape(Thin). I think it's made of the dried up adhesive with no plastic involved. That's why it doesn't lift the hair line. The only problem is that it's super thin and tacky and kinda hard to maneuver. Maybe you can try it, and do a video about it. I bought it from HD.
@@HairExperience ok! I need to know how to go about this. I have shoulder length hair. It’s silver white and curly. I wear it curly and I also blow it out straight. It’s thick and a bit on the ruff side of texture. I’ve had a hard time finding hair that matches mine. Can you help. Thanks
@@robbalan6969 cant really say that though. Things work different from person to person and if you found a way that works for you. Then stick with it. This is just a good starting point for guys that need some guidance starting out and getting the best results they can !
Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ what glue should you use for lace front if you still have hair in front that has been shaved ?will it overtime kill my existing front hair ?
Excellent video Curtis. You covered everything that dealt with the proper way to adhere your unit. Everyone who wears a unit should see this. Even if you've been wearing one for a while, it never hurts to see content like this, usually you pick up a tip or two. Thanks, buddy.
Hi curtis!! First of all thank you for the valuable information you give us. I wanted to ask you. Can I cut my front lace line any way I want? I mean, I see that your frontal is V-shaped and it makes it look even more natural. Can I cut the front of my system in a V shape however I want? thank you so much
As a new user to hair units your videos have been very informative, Ive had mine on now for almost a month and due to covid restrictions in the UK. Had to do a refit myself due to the bond breaking down. I do have a few questions if that's ok? 1, in terms of bonds for sweat resistance and long hold (I understand we are all different) have you a recommendation? 2, How long of a window do we have with spraying the alcohol to repostion the unit and does this also affect bond adhesion? 3, As an average, how long do tapes hold? I used a full bond the other day as the tape i found to not seem so strong but watching this video i don't feel i "Activated it". Thanks for the videos and greetings from a very snowy manchester, England.
Hey!! 1) No, you just have to try them to find that right one for you 2) 10-20 seconds 3) unknown. They will hold longer than bonds, for sure. But its a thing like the bond. Some will work better for some and not others. Average when its right is 2-3 weeks Hope that helps
*some* folks say to put a coat of white bond on the poly and 1 on your head. What's your opinion on that? One issue I have is matching the edges. If you overshoot on your head you get hairs sticking to the glue and if you undershoot you get edges not sticking 100%
Hey Curtis...I have ask you guestions before and you were very helpful....I.just had another issue where I had a new unit put on , my third so far and within about 8 hours my forehead was burning and the unit lifted and you could see where my front hairline on my scalp was all red and inflamed....Not sure what happen because my last 2 units were fine....Apparently the stylist did something different...what are your thoughts
@HairExperience Thank u sir...Also I just found out that the stylist put a knot protection on the lace to prevent the hairs from coming out, I don't know what that is, but that's when this all started
Hi Curtis, I’m having a reaction with walker tape. I moved to Canada from Dubai and not sure if it’s because of the dry weather here. Didn’t have a problem in Dubai. I’m switching to Ghost Bond to check if it’s works. My scalp turns red, dry and itchy only around the perimeter. Have you heard of any such issues.
@@HairExperience Hi Curtis. thanks for replying. I am using Ghost Bond classic now and it feels much much better. The itching has stopped but don't know how to make it last longer. Right now it lasts me for around 3 days.
@@DillonPink Tough one. Try it thinner coat or let it dry longer before install. Also high heat situations sometimes are not good for a white bond with some people
Hi Curtis, quick question: I just used way too much clear bond. Really caked it because I only got 4 days out of my last install. Probably screwed something up that time. I waited about 20 minutes to dry before applying. What concerns should I have regarding the system?
Tough to say, Its not suggested. If your going to use more than a light coat, do multiple thin coats. More is not better for sure. It may not be the right bond for you!
Would you fix it on a head of a person who comes to your clinic? Cos I don't have experience it; and I need a practical class about maintaining about it also. Would you give these services there in your clinic?
Good question. Really depends on the stylist and how good they are with either. My stylist uses thinning shears for blending and does it very well. She has never used a razor to do it. But that doesnt say a razor is wrong. If that stylist is trained with a razor. See what I mean ?
@@HairExperience for sure, i was just wondering because i ve read that razor cutting dries damages the hair and causes a lot of split ends, but i do see a lot of videos of hair system fitting using razors so maybe it gives a good style and fitting but is not great for the hair itself?
Hey Curtis, how long do you leave walker tape ultra hold before applying your system. I'm having issues with the adhesive coming up through the lace into the hair.
Yo, man great video and info. Got a question is there a product as a antiperspirants for scape. I sweat just prior to putting on unit then the problem turns to itching.
Thank you!! There are some made for that job. NO SWEAT is one that Pro hair labs makes. May want to look into that. Is the AC down in the house? Can you use a fan to stop the sweating ? That may help
@@nickg3154 I do. Pro hair labs is a quality company. I know there owners and staff well. I trust their products. But still ALWAYS do a patch test with all products you will put on your body
Do you think it is pratical to have two hair pieces on each side of your head if your sides are receded but the middle part is still good and full? Or is it easier to just shave the whole front and apply one single unit?
Hello Curtis,and people,please tell me what to do, my system is 4 months old, the mesh has become oily, the skin becomes greasy from the forehead to the back of the head, this was not the case before, the mesh became a little dirty and oily, how to wash it correctly? Finishing in shampoo does not help.
Hey, oily is from some type of something left behind. The lace or the hair is not oily by default. My guess is that its never getting fully clean. Like ALL of the old bond, tape etc and its just adding up over time.
How is business Curtis. A new wave of coronavirus is hitting the US as we see New York City closing down schools. Think it will cause more hair system delays. Great and informative video.
Hi Carol, Business is fine. Im wanting all of my clients to get products as fast as I can do it. New York does not affect us at all. We are doing all we can to get through this weird times
@@davesaenz3732 try 2 super light coats. But as I said in the video. If something works for you dont change it. This is just a good starting point for everyone to try!!
@@davesaenz3732 Yeah ive got decent blood pressure. Sometimes its high but I think thats when I get super worked up. I get my medical checks once a year. But thank you. Seriously. I will do some checking on it
@@HairExperience Once a year is good if you're in your late 20's. After 35 or so, you want to do it 2 to 3 times a year. Preventive medicine is the future of healthcare. I've done extensive research on this topic. You look healthy. But you want to stay that way for a long time and avoid taking meds. I have perfect health. Avoiding all the bad stuff, sugar, fast foods, canned food, processed, and gmo's, etc. Very hard to be healthy these days. I do occupational therapy, and I do not want to be a patient one day. Exercise, don't stress, cut smoking and drinking. Yeah I know. It sucks, but once a week is okay. God bless you and your family. Take care. 🎸

Hi. It’s def the bond. There is an allergic reaction happening. Get with a doctor and the stylist to change it

@@Onthejob374 sorry. But I really can’t speak to allergies. Def want to start with process of elimination. If def could be that
Is it possible to only put a strip in the front to shorten your forehead? I have a lot in the back its the front that keeps receding. thanks
Hi Eddie, yes is it. We have many clients that do that. There really is no right or wrong way of doing this if it works for you!!!
We've missed you! 🤗

Thank you sir!!
Do knot sealers work? Any risks of using them?

Ive been told never to use alcohol on scalp, even from pro hair labs themselves
You can do whatever method works best for you. Isopropyl alcohol on your skin is bad, but not that serious. And it works well
If u have high blood pressure and take Lisinopril as a med that's where u get ur cough.
Yeah, I dont take anything. Im sure its smoking !
