I wear my hair system in a central parting usually. It's lace front with poly/thin skin for the rest. It looks great but sometimes under certain lighting I notice a bit of shine on the parting area. Are there any products or other ways to help reduce or get rid of the shine from a poly/thin skin base? There is no adhesive on the parting area btw (I only attach round the perimeter of the system). Thanks.

How to reduce or get rid of shine from poly base in a parting?

The lack of adhesive is the problem. You will need to bond it down to get rid of the plastic look.
You could try NYX Shine Killer too. It's a pre-make-up serum that women use to reduce shine on their faces. Don't use it on the hairline/border because it destroys the bond (very effectively I might add).

Ok. So use some Walker 'no shine' tape or similar?
I currently use Supertape (1 inch wide) to attach the back and sides, and Ghostbond Platinum for the hairline. I get up to 4 weeks hold with the Supertape no problem, and I redo the hairline about once or twice a week. I wonder if Walker 'no shine' would last for 4 weeks? Or maybe I could try some Supertape or glue for the parting area.

Ok. So I'd apply this product to the surface of the hair system parting (hair side of the system, not base side) after I've attached it?
