So now you know about bases, color, style and density. Your ready to order the unit but you know you need other stuff to go along with it.. what should you get?

We know this entire process can seem daunting and expensive when you first start out. But as you undoubtedly noticed, our prices are significantly less than the "clubs" and "salons" selling exactly the same thing. A lot of these "clubs" get you on cut ins and reattachments. Were here to make it easier for you to know the entire process up front.

You are taping or gluing this thing to your head! It's not rocket science.

But there are dozens of choices in glues, tapes and adhesive options. So what to do? You need to know that everyone's skin is different and different tapes and glues will react differently on your skin. We recommend a skin patch test for 24 hours and an open mind. It may take a bit of time to get the right tape/glue for your skin chemistry. The forum is a great resource for learning. You can contact Debbie at Split Ends and she will get you off in the right direction.

1. Tape
2. Special Skin Bonding Glue
