| Here are descriptions of our tapes. They are listed in order of increasing strength.
Red Liner: This is an excellent tape for Poly Perimeters and ThinSkin bases. Many people attach the "Red" to the base and put a stronger tape on top of it to attach to the scalp. It is not a medical-grade adhesive
Non-Residue Tape: This is the original Non-Residue tape. It can be used for daily wear & removal, but can last 5 - 7 days for many people. It peels cleanly from lace & scalp and leaves no glue residue.
Lace Gripper Tape: This is our newest tape. It is stronger & thinner than Non-Residue tape, but you will want to use 99% alcohol or a Tape Release spray to remove it from the base without pulling hairs through to the underside of the base. Available in 3" wide and 6" wide "A" (hairline) contour.
Blue Lace Tape: This is the classic high-strength, long-term tape; some wearers get a 14 - 21 day attachment. Use Blue Lace tape only on lace bases; never on Poly or ThinSkin! It can get gummy if worn too long.
3-Mil Tape: This is really a liquid adhesive sealed inside peel-off paper backing. It provides a very strong hold, is very thin and has virtually no shine. It can be tricky to apply and requires alcohol or Tape Release to remove. It should only be used on lace.
Extenda-Bond Strips: This is the original "tape with holes". It comes in 12" long x 2" wide strips and can be cut to fit your perimeter or used as a full head bond. The manufacturer claims they will hold for 4 - 6 weeks, but 2 weeks is more realistic. You can also use it in tandem with liquid adhesive.
