QuoteReplyTopic: Inexpensive Reventilation & Repair Posted: April 06 2008 at 2:02pm
I was just surfing the net and found that MHRW has a new repair service for lace front wigs. They reventilate bald spots and hair that is lost around the hairline from use of tapes and adhesives and apply their tape tab compound after repair to prevent future hair loss in that same area. The cost is $35.00 per square inch (+ shipping) and the unit does not have to have been purchased from them.
I burned 2 small bald spots in my 1st curly unit by trying to rebleach some stubborn knots in those areas for a 3rd time. I bought ventilation supplies and have been working on it but it's VERY time consuming. I still love the unit and it's in otherwise good condition. I might just cough up the dough to get the bald spots reventilated and save myself some time but I'm not sure yet.
BTW: I've been using their tape tab sealer on my lf's since I 1st started wearing them and I've never had a problem with hair loss around the hairline from tapes or adhesives. It DOES actually work but you have to be very light handed with it so your lace remains undetectable around the hairline.
Thank you so much for this post Curly! You must have read my mind. I just had a second units develop bald spots at the perimeter, where I make my part. This is despite very careful knot sealing...in fact I knot seal twice and let it dry for 20-30 mins in between each coat and stil.....I am developing a new bald spot . My only guess was that the tape and adhesives create these spots. Where can you get the tape tab sealer?? And is it visible on the lace? What is the website for MHRW? TIA!
I've used their tape tab sealer on all my units around the perimeter of the hairline and I've never had any thinning from use of tapes or adhesives. It also gives the tape a stronger hold to the lace - especially at the nape where you need it most. I'm not concerned about being light handed with it at the nape because even when I wear pony tails someone would have to be up on me with a microscope to see any lace. However, in the front of my unit where I get light density ventilation I am VERY light handed with the Tape Tab Compound because if you put too much it can make your lace a little more detectable - not much though. Putting too much on swiss lace could make it slightly more detectable like french lace.....not a big difference but I notice it.
You know i've been looking for something like that! Aren't they in the US? That would save a whole lot in shipping. I have to measure my lf and see if it's worth it. I have quite a few sizeable bald spots
Kevincn just did mine for $40 including shipping.I used him because he has the best light yaki hair. But I asked him to do another wig for me and he asked for $50 plus shipping. Not sure why he upped the price

$40.00 is a good price - especially since it included shipping. What areas of the unit was he repairing ?

Yeah that is a good price but you also have to factor in the cost to send the lf to China.
