In a statement, I love Supertape! In my opinion, it works better than all of the lace front wig bonding adhesives that I've tried so far.
And, I've tried plenty: Ultra Hold, Might Tight, Safe Grip, Vapon No Tape, Spirit Gum and Invisibond. I have to admit that I like Invisibond. However, after using Supertape, I don't think I'll be using it again.
Prior to trying Supertape, clients would email me with glowing Supertape testimonials, but I just couldn't imagine that it would hold so well. In fact, I had tried other tapes before, primarily Topstick, which is sold by Vapon. Topstick tape didn't even pretend to stick to my head; not even for 3 seconds. As a result, I assumed that all tapes were ineffective.
Enter my sister. My sister, God bless her, is a three-time cancer survivor. As a sidebar, I want to take the time to say that I love my sister dearly. Even though she has gone through so much, she is one of the most optimistic and energetic people I know. Anyway, after undergoing surgery just a week and a half prior, my sister wanted a lace front because she was going to a wedding. Of course I obliged -- even though I thought she should have stayed in bed -- and offered to apply a lace front. When I saw the long scar down the back of her head and neck, I was hesitant to use glue. I was thinking she had follow-up doctor's appointments and removing the glue, along with clean-up, etc. would not be a good thing. So I used the Supertape.
First of all, the Supertape only took about 10 minutes to apply. Using the Supertape roll, I rolled a strip from ear-to-ear along her hairline. Then I cut three separate strips along her nape. I positioned the wig on her head with the hairline rolled back, and removed the paper strip from the double-sided tape. Then I pressed -- starting at the center of her forehead -- the lace front wig onto the tape all around the perimeter of her head and voila! I was finished and it was very, very secure. So secure that I ran home, removed my lace front wig, did the obligatory clean-up and reapplied using the Supertape.
As a personal user now, I am pleased to report the following: 1) It literally takes minutes to apply a lace front wig using the Supertape; 2) If you press really lightly at first for positioning, you have a second or two to gently pull it back up to re-position and press hard; 3) IT DOESN'T MOVE, OR MELTDOWN - even when I sweat! 4) Supertape stays in place until you are ready to reapply. 5) There is no shine that is usually associated with the tapes. 6) Removal and clean-up is easy and quick. In fact, there is no removal of glue from the lace front wig.
Supertape is billed as the strongest extended wear bonding tape that will last for up to 40 days before needing to reapply. Unfortunately I will never be able to report on this because I like to remove my lace wig to shampoo and massage my scalp once a week - sometimes every other week if I'm too busy. However, based on the experiences that I have had, I believe that it will last for 40 days if that is what the wearer prefers.
Supertape is packaged in 3/4" and 1" rolls of 3, and 12 yards. It is also packaged in contoured strips. It is skin-safe, or "medical grade", waterproof and odorless. Use of Supertape eliminates gooey, sticky residue clean-up.
The Hair Network sells Supertape on our website at www.thehairnetwork.com. Please let me know about your experience.

About Me
- Glamour Lace Wigs
- Hello fellow hair enthusiasts. My name is Cathy Nedd. I am the founder/owner of thehairnetwork.com and maker of Glamourlace Wigs. Every since I can remember, I have been fascinated with beautiful hair. My mother tells me that after my first day in kindergarten, I ran home to ask her where my hair was because a girl in my class had hair down her back. Later - starting in the 10th grade - I began wearing my mothers wigs. I would cut the part and comb my own hair out over the part to make it look like my own. When weaves came out, I started wearing them immediately even though they stood up in the back when my head was bent. I had hair, but for some reason, I never thought it was full enough, or long enough. Today, I manufacture lace front wigs under the brand name, Glamourlace. I love the joy I get when helping women who have lost their hair as a result of alopecia, or hereditary male pattern baldness. I want to help as many women as I can achieve their crown in glory. So if you need assistance, or more info about lace wigs, give me a call. Thank you so much for reading my blog. I appreciate you!
