Lace Bonding with Tape (Invisible™ and Lace Frontals)

Tape is fast, convenient, and easy to use. It offers simple attachment, removal and cleaning. Tape is available in variety of strengths giving you the flexibility to accurately control the duration of the hold. If you prefer daily removal, select a mild tape that will last anywhere between 1-3 days. On the other hand, if your prefer a longer hold, choose one of our stronger tapes, which can provide a very secure hold for 7-10 days.

Before Starting:

Make sure both surfaces to be bonded (scalp and system) are clean, dry and free of ALL grease and oil. Remove any stubble from the area of scalp to be bonded.

When finished, you should avoid washing hair for 24 hours.

Items Required:

• Scalp Protector
• Blue Liner Lace tape
• Eye Brow Pencil
• Hair Clip

Instructions

1. Apply a thin layer of Scalp Protector on the lace and on the scalp (in the areas where the tape will be).
2. Remove the protective paper from one side of the double-sided tape and apply around the perimeter of your scalp, EXCEPT the front hairline. DO NOT apply tape to the front of your scalp (approx 1" back from the front hairline and temples).
3. Remove the remaining protective paper.
4. Position the front of the system in place and then roll the system back over the scalp, making sure that the hair does not get onto the tape.
5. Secure the hair system to your scalp by pressing firmly on the taped areas and smooth it out so there no wrinkles or folds.
6. Using a light coloured eyebrow pencil, trace the contour of the lace by making a few dots approx. 1/8" in front of the front edge of the lace.
7. Now clip the lace front back, securing it to the top of your head with a hair clip.
8. Place Blue Liner Lace tape along the hairline you have just traced. Position the tape down to the dots, but do not cover the dots.
9. Wipe the dots off your forehead.
10. Gently bring the lace front forward over the tape. Using the flat edge of a comb, press the lace down.
11. Simply brush to blend in with your own hair and you are finished.

Tips

1. Leave a small space between pieces of tape at the sides and back to allow for water and shampoo to escape if wearing your system for extended periods of time.
2. Spray a light mist of alcohol on the tape and to your scalp where the tape will be. This will allow you to align the system before the adhesive on the tape takes hold.
