OMG, Curlgirl, I use the exact same product on my wig and the grids completely disappear, I have been using them for a while now, and I really like the width and the way it makes the parts look like your skin. I do not wear foundation so instead of foundation, I just spray SH on it, and it looks perfect.

I can't believe the creativity in this place! LOL. Awesome ideas.

What I'm wondering, is when you take the unit off and wash, are you taking the steri-strip/silicon sheet off each time and then placing a new one? Would this not damage the lace?

Wow LOL I guess great minds think alike. I love them too because they look and feel so much like skin. I gotta go get some more today because I only have 2 left. I know the lady at my local Walgreens must be thinking "Dang! She's the most accident prone woman in the world !!". LOL

Yes, I it off every week when I wash and condition my unit. The adhesive isn't strong enough to damage the lace or the knots. As a matter of fact, even if you tried to leave it on I think it would fall off by itself as soon as you got some shampoo on it.

They're made out of a gel-like material that feels like skin and your lace will disappear when you put it underneath. HTH
 
 
what are they called? please PM me with the name. Where do you put them?

Here's what the box looks like: http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=115548&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?page=2^Query=first+aid+tape^ActiveCat=65^startLink=1 
You just peel off the adhesive backing and stick it to the underside of your lace wherever you plan to part your hair and it looks like scalp.
2Cor 12:8-9
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness".

Thanks for this link!
 
Question: How do you apply it?
 
It looks like the sticky side has to go against the lace (on the underside) ... but then how would the 'textured skin tone' side be seen through the lace? Seems like you would only see the sticky side.
 
What am I missing here. :)))
