    Posted: April 28 2008 at 9:28am
Okay ladies, I posted pic of my first lf, a rex indian straight. Well I did my first app. It was a little rough but I learned alot. I used vapon no tape (front) and supertape ( nape and sides). The vapon held great but the supertapes started lift from my head after one day. So next time I will layer vapon and the supertape. So take a look Oh and I don't know how you gals het you lace to not show but you could see mine. I'm gonna experiment with some of the tips you guys share and we will see what happens. I also tried to bleach the knots but it didn't work. the roots bleached but the knot didn't budge. Any advise on that would be greatly appreciated.

It looks good, girl. In pic 5 when you show your "scalp" it looks like your wig cap may have slipped back a bit and that may be why you can see the lace. Confused I dunno. For your next app you may way to try sticking you wig cap into the glue so it won't slip. HTH...

Yeah birdie, I am definately gonna do that cuz after a couple of hours my wig cap was bunched up at the back of my head LOL.  I'm also going to experiment with some of the tips you guys share. I did try the sally hansen spray to cover up the knots but that didn't work. I'm gonno try the tape and glue method next to hide the grid.

It looks good! If your wig cap did not slip you would have been fine. You are always gonna think you see lace. You did well--don't beat yourself up!!!

I think you did a great job.

 

To prevent your wig cap from slipping apply 2-3 thin strips of tape then apply your wig cap HTH
