Why use Walker Tape Ultra Hold C-Contour tape for your hair system?
The Ultra Hold tape from Walker Tape is one of the most popular hair system tape available in the market.
It is long lasting, semi-dull for low visibility, and 11.5mm in thickness, allowing it to provide a strong bond while remaining undetectable. There’s only a very faint line that is not noticeable by others unless they stare really long and hard at your hairline.
This tape can last for 2-4 weeks for users wearing a system continuously. If removed daily, this tape can last about 7-10 days.
It is popular amongst hair system users because it can be used for both PU and Lace systems, and it offers a great bond that will stay secure throughout strenuous exercise or water activities. This pack of 36 pre-cut pieces of tape makes it super easy to use, and saves you the time required to cut a roll of tape into smaller pieces.
Tips for using tape for hair systems.
- If it is your first time using a type of tape, try to do a patch test if possible. Cut a small piece of the tape and stick it on the area right behind your ear, near your hair. You can put a medical plaster bandage over it if you want to hide it. Leave it in place for 24 hours to see if you develop any sensitivity to it. If the area starts to itch and develop redness, remove the tape and do not use it.
- You do not need to align the tape right at the edge of the system. Having a 1-2mm gap is usually fine and not noticeable.
- Try your best not to have the tape exceed the edge of the system. Hair will stick on the tape and it will be harder to style your hair. Tape sticking out from under the hair system can also be noticed by others.
- You can overlap the tape, so there’s no need to trim the corners when they overlap.
- When wearing a system with only tapes, you can actually remove the system every night if you want to. Just leave some small gaps between your tape at the back so that you have an easy access to peel the system off every night. The tape should stay on the system when you peel it off.
- If you are removing the system every day, it might feel slightly uncomfortable in the first 1-2 days when you are removing the system. This is when the tape is the tightest and therefore would pull on your scalp the most when you are peeling it off.
- If you wear your hair system for 2–4 weeks at a time, take a 1–2 day break each month. This lets your scalp rest and reduces the risk of dryness or sensitivity, especially with a PU system.
