How do some of you wear your units longer than one week?  My head gets the itchin like crazy and the adhesive begins to itch and whew wee, the boogers begin to show from the adhesive.  HOW DO YA'LL DO IT.....
Also, One more question....If you do wear you units longer than 2 weeks, does you natural hair begin to smell...Mine does after 1 week, but I know everybodies chemistry is different.

I used to wear my unit for 2 weeks, but it does start to itch so I started taking off once a week.

girl I don't... I know a lot do but I really don't think it is a good thing to do.  not only can your scalp begin to itch, but you can get infections in your scalp (I developed boils and itching was only the begining!).  Since I have returned to taking off my unit every 3 days or so and washing my hair and conditioning it.

I can only go a week and then it is time to reapply. My app looks great for about a week, after that it is time to wash my hair and let me head breath for at least a day or so.
