I was a huge G2BG fan. Yes, the one in the yellow tube that claims to be "water resistant".. It may "resist" water? But that's like saying I can "resist" chocolate. It sounds great, but when it comes down to me and the chocolate - the chocolate wins.
Well, something prompted me to make a change, and quick. An old dandy of a man, walked up to me while i was grocery shopping. It was hotter than seven hells outside, and i had just finished working out. As we were talking i casually tugged the wig hair from my face, and the old ear flap popped up. The old guy, paused in mid conversation, said: "Well, good bye, hon.." And ran off with his walker like he was in a drag race.
I pressed and held that flap down, but vowed to myself, i need to do better. The humidity in Chicago, is nothing to mess around with. And G2BG wasn't meant for these types of conditions.
I bought the GhostBond XL, and i will tell you there is an incredible difference when you place your lace on it. The hold feels far more superior, and i felt a lot more confident in the wind, humidity, sweat even my workout.. Usually, when i would have conversations with people, or with friends, they noticed i would do this casual "tap" on my forehead. It was because with G2BG, the lace at the very top of my forehead would curl back. And there would be this tiny flap of lace just sitting out there which would need occasional "pressing down" when i would begin to perspire.
Not with Ghost Bond. Once you're lace is pressed? It stays that way, at least for several hours before you need to just tap it, and keep going. This is just a one-layer application.
The Removal of Ghost Bond is a huge pain, though. I used the Citrus 22, solvent, and kept getting these "gummy balls" all over the place. I went through several applications of the C-22, alcohol, shampoo and water, And castor oil, with several face washings to ensure the residue was off of my face as well.
So.. This is what i've learned to do. G2BG is great if you want an easy removal. Thus I use this as the first and ONLY layer of glue for the lace. And i use one small dab of Ghost Bond in the weak areas. One tiny dab on top of the forehead, and dab each on the ear flaps. I did a work out, as well as went out with friends, etc. And that wig stayed put.
When it's time for removal, i don't have to deal with an entire layer of Ghost Bond. Just the areas where i had to dab it. It's still a hassle? But a heck of a lot LESS of a hassle.
Another tip? Don't forget to wear your WIGRIP. This will cover/protect your edges, and place the glue in FRONT of the hair line.. Not on it..
