Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and would like to ask for advice from it's extensive resources.
I started wearing a lace front and top hairpiece with poly around the rear and side. Overall, I am happy with the look of it except at the frontal hairline. I have the hair combed back. It is of moderate density in the front and shows my scalp when I put a little gel in it- a natural look for my age (53). I use tape and adhesive to hold the front in place. Here's the problem...at certain angles the light reflects off the tape creating an unatural shine. This is true in bright light you might find in a restaurant over a table in the evening. I've tried the "no shine" tapes and skin colored makeup without much improvement. I've considered not using tape, but since I remove the piece daily, I'm afraid this would tear the lace after a short time. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
