I have used EasyTAb & didnt have an issue with spots. I actually liked it--didnt care for the smell or how I had to wait for it to dry. I found that using hairspray & liquid bandaid combined fill in the grids just as good as the EasyTAB. |

MassGal:
Do you fill in your grids in the front ? I don't mind filling in the grids in the nape but I've never coated it heavy enough in the front to fill in the grids. Does is make the lace more visible ??

I spray the entire underside of the unit--focusing mostly on the front bc I part my hair on each side & in the middle. I sent you a PM with my fotki link & passwords so you can see the parts...Im not the best at taking pics but some are pretty close so you can get an idea. |

Thanks for the fotki link. That app and especially your part are flawless.
Okay what do you mean when you say you spray the underside? Are we talking about the same product because the Tape Tab Compound that I'm talking about comes in a bottle (just a little bigger than finger nail polish) and you apply it with a small brush. Once you apply it you never need to reapply it again. I got mine from MHRW.

Hi--thanks... I meant this: I have used the brush on easytab & I did like it BUT but hated waiting for it to dry & to come in the mail so I sort of made my own with freeze hair spray & liquid bandaid. Instead of brushing the underside of the unit with easytab..I spray the unit with freeze hair spray & liquid bandaid. The combo together fills in the grids. i used to apply blue liner tape along the areas that I parted but prefer the hairspray/liquid bandaid combo. |

Ohhhhhh, okay 
Would I be able to wash it out of the grids if I wanted to ?

Yes it washes out ---- be very careful --- because I use the Got2B freeze spray & if I am impatient I can ruin a unit-- I really try to keep the part areas in tact tho---I dont soak my unit when I wash them unless I am coloring or trying to highlight or remove any product I may have put in them. I really love it. The people at my local Walgreens must think I am a freak bc I stock up on liquid bandaid. Edited to add this part: Because this method isnt permanent sometimes I need to touch it up so I spray the liquid bandaid directly on the part --on the top of the unit--it is hard keeping the hand steady so if I mess up I use a root touch up pen at the part area. To date, this has not negatively effected any of my units. |

| MassGal-- So you spray the hairspray then the liquid bandaid to the lace? Could you pm your fotki pics to me please so I can see what you are talking about too? |

MassGal | Curlygirl11... that was a great exchange of information. Thanks bunches. I've order the EasyTab and I'm also going to try MassGal's "creative" alternate solution. I too am impatient and pay lots in next day or overnight shipping. Since the vendor for EasyTab doesn't offer it, I'm going to try my hand at the liquid band-aid tip. Thanks again, I'll post picts of either a monsterous disaster or ubber success!  |

Oh, Wow! You're sure that's a LF. That looks like "you", straight from the scalp! OMG your hairline looks great!  Do you wear a wig cap? Your scalp is flawless looking. Tell the truth, that's home grown. That's not a LF. (come on, just between us girls)... |

MASS GIRL YOUR A LIAR!!!!!!!!!! THATS HOME GROWN HEIFER. NICE TRY. BUT SERIOUSLY  IT LOOKS GREAT. SO YOU SAID YOU FIRST SPRAY GOT2B HAIRSPRAY AND THEN THE LIQUID BANDAID? IS IT A LIGHT COAT OF EACH? OR HEAVY COAT? ETA:FIX SPELLING |

HA!!!
Thanks!
I wear a nude wig cap.
I spray light coats of each bc I dont want my unit hard to the touch. Once you do it for a while, you'll know how much to use.
I usually try to use the liquid bandaid first but I dont think it matters.
If you end up spraying too much & the unit gets hard just spritz with water & leave in conditioner mix.

Ok, I'm back I got two types because I wasn't sure which one was best. I got Nexcare Spray liquid bandage (18ML bottle) and CVS brand liquid bandage [brush on] (10ML bottle). |
Posted By: MassGal
Date Posted: April 11 2008 at 2:20pm
I use the nexcare bc that is what Walgreen's carries but as long as its an aeresol can ( is that spelled correctly? looks odd) spray it should be ok.

Date Posted: April 11 2008 at 2:25pm
 uh-oh! It's not aerosol, it's spray pump. I didn't see any aerosol cans for liquid bandage. I'll go to Walgreens on the way home and get that type. My daughter is always scrapping her knee (or something), so I'm sure I can use the other for that purpose.Thanks for the information. |

The results are in: NEW SKIN RESULTS: it's so SMELLY. I'm no sure I want to go around smelling like a medical lab. But, it works ok on hiding the grid. Two thumbs up: ADHESIVE PADS: This product works very well. The pad provided more coverage than the Steri Strips and the grid disappeared completely, and I do mean completely. My only concerns are the shine and the color of the pad, both can easily be remedied by makeup. Three thumbs: STERI STRIPS: Seriously, one thing about me is if I like a product, I'll purchase stock in it. With that said, I'm definitely going to check into getting stock for this product. This works so well that I want to do the entire front half of my unit (I never know where I want my part from day-to-day). Four thumbs up: Thanks, Sexi, Breh and MassGall for the tips. |

Hey Chic geek, I have the tape tab do u think it will achieve the same effect as the steri strip. TIA |

| Hmmmmmmmm... I've never tried that product. That's a great question: "Tape Tab Divas" please respond. |

I don't think the Tape Tab Compound would achieve the same type of result as the steri strip or any other tape method in terms of making your part look natural. You could try it but it would be risky because once that stuff is on there...its on there and there's no getting it off the lace if you don't like it.
The Tape Tab Comound is intended to extend the life of the unit by preventing hair loss around the perimeter of the lace where tapes and adhesives can tend to work the knots loose over time. It's kind of like a permanent knot sealer for the perimeter and it helps your adhesives stick to the lace better. I put a VERY light coating of it underneath my parts but you can't see it and I only do that to prevent shedding in the long run from use of one of the tape methods. HTH

| Massgal, your pictures look great. I have a question for you do your knots have to be bleached in order to to achieve this look with the hair spray and the liquid bandage? |
Posted By: MassGal
Date Posted: April 18 2008 at 4:50pm
I dont bleach my knots, tried but was just more work than I wanted to get into. I have used the Breh/Sexibeach fake bleach method of Jerome Russell blonde spray underneath the cap. At times I dont use the Jerome Russell just the hairspray & liquid bandage. Try it on an older unit to get a feel of it first, I felt so bad shared my tips & one poster had a hard time getting it to work for her. The liquid bandage does smell at first but your unit will not keep the medicinal smell...the scent fades soon after it dries. Feel free to PM me. |
