Looks great!!  You can see the grids on one of the pictures but your application is on point. I love the unit. What are the specs and who is the vendor?

I bought it from one of the ladies on BHM for $220 which included shipping. She no longer wore them and wanted to sell it. I do have a custom one on order, hopefully it will be here at the end of the month.. Will post pictures of that one also. The adhesive I used is from Hair Direct, called White bonding adhesive. The hair is kinky straight. It was 22 inches, but I had it cut down to 14-16 inches. I don't know who the vendor is. But I will tell you about kinky straight..you have to tame it..LOL.. I didn’t have a wig cap on. I had a hard time with the wig cap, so I gave up. That is probably why you can see the grids. |

That looks very pretty and natural. The only hint that it might not be yours is the grid that shows on top of your natural hair.
Girl my wig caps used to give me a run for my money too. Next time you apply just tape your cap down to your skin (on top of the skin protector) at each temple and in the back. 4 small pieces of tape should do it. If your lace is transparent and the color difference between the wig cap and the lace is visible you can either: 1) use make-up that matches your face around the front of the wig cap so that the color transition is more gradual or 2) use Breh's & Sexi's tape method.
Once you do that no one will EVER suspect that's not all your hair. Looks very good on you.

It looks good. Grids are evil Unless someone is on top of your head no one will be able to tell. Great job!!

They are both in the Newbie Thread....here's the link: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=59553 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=59553
Breh has the medical tape method:
I have a fool proof way to create a natural part. I believe it has been posted before, but I wanted to share again. The only supplies you will need is transparent bandage tape, foundation powder brush, and powder foundation. Here are the steps:
(Optional) Apply your wig cap. (I am wearing a black wig cap in the pictures. )
1.Dip your powder brush into your shade of foundation. (You can also use your finger, or q-tips). I found that using the foundation powder brush was much easier, and less messy.
2. Lightly brush the back of the bandage tape (Not the sticky side).
3. Tear or cut the tape, and apply to the inside of the lf cap, where the part will be. Apply the tape about 1/4" away from the hairline (just behind the baby hairs). Do not apply the tape directly on the edge of the lace.
4. Apply the lf , and style as usual.
You should have a fantastic looking part, that looks totally natural, that you wont have to worry about touching up until it's time to remove your lf. The tape is not shiny, so you won't have to worry about that.

This is the exact same brand that I used, it can be found at CVS, Walgreens, or any medical supply store. Sexi has the Steri Strips:
Steri-Strip S surgical skin closure.. i thought it thru brought some and put it in the part of my chinese virgin remy.. i will post pictures tomorrow to show you, its very realistic.. the down fall is they have http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=59553&PN=2# - - skin - tone , but it won't match everybody's skin tone unfortunately.. maybe they will make darker colors but they have clear, or you might be able to utilize them by blotting some bare minerals makeup on top the skin tone colors to make it match your skin tone..
i added a little Mr. C's on the sticky side of the steri strip so that it will stick to the lace, and it looks like scalp, its extremely thin and has a little fuzzy side on the back so it won't stick to your hair once you place it in the cap.. and it stayed in place and then i put it back on the http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=59553&PN=2# - - wig head.. i only placed it close to the edge and left the lace remaining where i knew i was on to adhere the lace to my natural skin so it will blend.. HTH.
