Ok, so here are my steps to hiding grids in part with glue instead of tape!!!
*You must do this technique when the wig is OFF your head or else you'll be in for a messy treat! lol
*This will only work with soft bond glues like Ultra Hold, Secure, Mighty Tight, Davlyn etc.
1) Part hair where you normally wear your part
2) Place a finger on your part (so that you don't loose it)
3) With finger still on the part, turn the wig cap inside out
4) Place the wig on a white or color suface so that the part will become more visable
5) Take a little bit of your soft bond adhesive, and with a tooth pick mix in some of your facial powder until it resembles a color simular to your scalp.
6) Keep whipping the adhesive until it gets semi tacky and is no longer fluid. (Note: You want the adhesive to be at an consistancy where it will not seep through the lace)
7) When ready, spread the adhesive along the part.
8) Using a blow dyer on COOL setting, blow onto the part until it becomes hard and sold. (It might not dry completely, but you want it to stiffen up and loose it's tack)
9) When dry, flip the wig over and dab a bit more powder onto the part and YAY! your done!!!

Countess,
That is a great tip. I can't wait to try it. Do you soak it with goo gone to get the mixture off?

Thanks for the tip Countess. That's very creative  Imma try it this weekend.
Do you wear a wig cap underneath to stop the glue from getting in your hair in case you accidentally scratch your head in the part area?

| TO Heaven Lei and Curlygirl11 Yes you can wear a wig cap with this, that's what I do. But if you let the glue dry long enough, you should be able to wear it, without it snaggin on your hair to much! |

| I have done this before, Most recently I am using a wax stick. But since the weather is changing I may have to go back to the adhesive and makeup |

One other question, after you have mixed the adhesive and makeup what to do you use to put it on the part..the toothpick or some sort of makeup brush??? Thanks, hope its not a dumb question... |

Lol great idea. They have something like that for makeup artists called eyebrow sealent. They use it to gel down people's eyes brows so they can cover it with makeup and redraw eyebrows on top! It's kinda like mustache (sp?) wax but no as greasy.
