Really love the hair system videos and installation guides. I really hate when hair systems have malware and viruses, having to keep flattening them out.
THank you. Very helpful. You explain things so well.
I really enjoyed the video Curtis makes me want to buy a poly system now.
Hi. I appreciate that! Buy what works best for you !! I will help how I can !
Just to reiterate: Saturation in coconut oil revitalizes the hair and makes the old glue and tape fall away with no scrubbing or intense cleaning. It definitely adds to the life of the unit, based on damage and hair loss by cleaning. It also keeps the unit from drying out so severely from the "time" element. Towards the end, I use a bit of dye to bring the pigment back, but I use a hat in the sun, so I don't lose a lot of pigment. The only downside to coconut oil, is you have to wash and let it dry twice to get the oil out. I've only ever had a lace product. I usually do my last installation wash with conditioner, so I am very liberal with gentle alcohol wipe-downs on the adhesive side of the unit. I'm very happy with the lace units. I'm wearing my current unit starting on my twelve month, and it is still looking good. It's time, though. The adhesiveness lasts about 16 days, with a hairline clean-up half way through. My hairline is partially exposed.
I am looking forward to my poly units now.
Thanx Curtis.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the info
Thanks man!
This is a wonderful video that takes away most of your doubts.
Great informations....
Thanks..♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️
Glad it was helpful!
I did the Hair Systems two decades ago but if you sweat allot when working out no matter what adhesive you use isn't going to hold and your maintenance goes to almost daily in my experience. They looked great and I would hear both ppl saying they could tell it was a piece and others couldn't.
Glues have came a long way since then. If your thinking about it we offer a ton of stuff on my site !
Hey Curtis, always like these videos as you do learn something from it. Question….Which of these units will look the most realistic from the front hairline? Especially in bright lights or while outdoors?
Im glad they could help !! Thats really up to a few factors. Install, how long its been on, etc. Im a poly guy so I stick with invisiskin personally
Incredible change after the blow dry training. Looks fantastic! 😁 great video, very well done and informative.
Right lol
Do you have a link to that video? I can't seem to find it.
for me lace is the best, in very ways.
Hey Curtis! It's great to hear from you! Just crossed 9 months of use on both of your InvisiLace units!
Word!!!!!
u got 9 months out of 2 units? cool i wish id'a got those before the shutdown!
@@HairExperience old school slang!
@@mediocrejoker9447 Yeah, out of 2 units each! That's a rare case though, even with super gentle care.
@@michaelgolodini dont you experience that the hair color fades and kinda goes dry over that long time?
Thank you for the video Curtis. Always great information! Really looking forward to receiving the next unit as my current one has several rips. (It was my first poly and took some getting used to). Not sure how much longer I’ll be able to get away with patching the rips. (It’s getting kinda scary)
Would love to see a very detailed video on the clean up of a poly unit.
Hey buddy!! Ive actually done this. A few of them. I know you watch my videos, maybe I just didnt go all the way through it. Id be happy to help you!!
Hi Curtis,
Just to check, is it okay to add your bond/adhesive directly to the poly base (hairline and sides)? I know you can’t with lace, but is that okay with poly?
As the biggest issue I have is not getting the bond position right on my head and the hair sticks to my forehead and I can’t clean it, so I’d rather put the adhesive straight onto the poly base and hairline itself?
Hi, yes. I see a lot of people do this, i personally do not but its doable. Yes
Hey what's your thoughts on silk/lace base with poly all around. Half inch
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great video and information as usual Curtis. On the subject on hand, I have used both and I prefer the Poly, simply because I don't have to be so careful to tear it if I'm in a hurry and to me is easier to clean. I do use one coat of bond with my Poly and it works beautifully, and I tend to use the system for about 3 to 4 months. However, I'm truly excited since I ordered a hair system from you, although I'm aware that I'll have to wait a bit longer to receive it due to the situation we are all going through, but I'm looking forward to it. I gotta run and chart on some of my patients. Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
Hey Romano !!! Super excited to have you as one of my customers !! I prefer the poly myself too!!
@@HairExperience My apologies for not responding sooner, after 18hrs. shift at the hospital I'm totally exhausted. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
Hey Curtis, thanks for another great video!
I’ve tried Poly systems and while they are easier to clean, I find that I can still see the Poly base at the hairline when I style my hair up.
I also tried a combo, lace front with a Poly back and finding bleached knots for my natural hair colour is challenging and the front hair line is shiny when I use Ultra Hold.
Any tips or suggestions on addressing the exposed Poly hairline or the shine on the lace front hairline?
Appreciate anyone’s tips and insights too :)
Absolutely !!
1) if the unit is old and the hair is falling out (time to be replaced) this can happen, so replace the unit
2) if its not that time yet. NFX No Shine (sold at target in the cosmetic section) That will help
I love my poly, I live in East Texas where it is extremely humid and I survive.
Texas wow!
Mr. Curtis do you mind sharing what unit you are wearing in this vid? Is it a b230? I really like the style.
Hi. This is our invisiskin
First time subscriber and viewer, ok so how do i order correct color ? I'm med . brown straight hair
Hey !! Thank you ! I did a video at the top of my FAQ page to walk you right through it. I’m here to help too!
Hey Curtis, im in my second day of wearing a lace system and I could definetly feel the snug and tighness around my head. When sleeping at night on my pillow, with certain mouvements I Will feel the tension on my scalp, as if somthing is glued on it. The lady who installed it say the tighness Will be gone within few hours, but after 2 days the feeling hasn't gone. Just used a bond glue platinum. Should i switch for skin in order not to feel the snug ??? Thanks for your help.
Hey! It will go away as she said. Its different for everyone though. But it will
I've had a mono system for 2.5 years now. I'm really looking forward to make a switch to poly.
I notice the hair getting tied up in knots and it takes a lot of time to release them. Does the same happen with your poly unit? I believe not as its a V looped construction, or is it just something we have to deal with irrespective of the type of the hair system?!
Yeah, mono def has a life span like no other.
Knotting or tangles, it will happen with any hair if not cared for correctly. even females with great biological hair get tangles
My current lace front unit has a lot of lifting in the hairline and it does not want to stay up. I regret not choosing a poly perimeter at the front
Poly perimeter on a lace in the front is just SOOOOOOO thick. I personally wouldnt do it !
@@HairExperience which one would you personally recommend? I’m totally new to hair systems and don’t know much about it
Hey Curtis, so I think I'm ready to go for it, first timer here. I got a few question, please help me choose :P. I don't care about hairline, I like wearing my hair down with bangs. I want 3-4 months out of a system, and COMFORT and EASY MAINTANENCE, aka easy cleaning. I was going to choose lace but I don't like the idea of cleaning lace, sounds hard. Also I'm worried of itchyness and I'd imagine lace would be itchier than a smooth skin base, as my bio hair would grow up into the lace net. I'm leaning towards a thin skin poly type, wanna use tape only, accept maybe glue for the hairline. I just don't wanna feel like I'm wearing a swimmers cap on a hot day. LAST big point, I ride a motorcycle so I spend a lot of time in a helmet. For that reason only I thought I would really HAVE TO go with lace for the sweat factor. What is your professional advice? Thanks lol
Hey !! Just email me. I’ll go over all i can. Contact info is on my website
Video starts at 1:36
Lace with a poly perimeter is a good choice. Lace in the front just a little with the poly right behind it looks good
👆👆👆👆This is your opinion. I do not run into issues with tears. I take my time
do you have a current discount code? I would like to order!
Hi normally, yes. But unfortunately right now we cannot offer it. Costs are way up. When things get back to normal it will come back !
what do you do instead of a full bond?? What is a full bond for that matter?
Subbed
Can you help me, i am not sure what system is good? Quality and affordable..! I checked your website but not sure, this is first time i checked into this.
Hi Saf. Id love to help and earn your business. Quality and affordable is what I do. I will assist with my products any way I can !
Hello Curtis! I see some blow dry styling videos but I can't find the training one, could you point me in the right direction?
I’ll do a new one !!!!
@@HairExperience Really appreciate it! I'll need it cause I'll be ordering an invisiskin from you in the following days ;)
Hi any tips ....
After installing my PU unit with Ghost bond after about 48 hrs my hairline is itching like crazy..
Would trying a lace unit make any difference? I'm not sure if it's the adhesive causing the itching or the Poly ... It only ever starts about 2 days later so I'm wondering if it's the sweat under the poly causing the problem ... Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Hi, 99.9% of the time its the bond. Id personally try a different bond as that ones really telling you its not for you!! The itching is a reaction with your skin
@@HairExperience thanks mate.
Have a good day.
Hi Curtis, The problem of the lace is in the front line, it forms small waves that make it difficult to keep glued and after two or three days they are detached by the waves, is there someone with that problem?
Hi, this is because the unit is stretched out. You have been to forceful removing or cleaning it. You can put it upside down on a mannequin head and lightly put some steam to it. It may take its shape back. Hope that helps
I’ve always used lace and thinking about trying poly. Which one should I get invisiskin or duraskin? I always lift the front and want a natural look. Also can they be colored ? I normally add few foils in front to add dimension
Hi Frankie, im a personal fan of our invisiSKin product. But Im bias as I designed them.
Here to help!!
@@HairExperience ok I’ll try it. But can they be colored or bleached too ? I just add few foils to always make it look dimensional and natural
@@Greeky83 coloring is fine. Bleaching is rough on the hair
@Dark Dreamz I'm sorry here. But everyone does not only think your way. And it's not the only right way.
I'm honestly super close to blocking you from my channel. Lately you just seem to respond negatively and do not keep an open mind for others wants.
How do I order a Polly unit? Is synthetic hair better? Versus human hair or a mixture
Hi! Your welcome to order it on my website. It’s invisiskin. Same thing I wear. It’s human hair
New to all this and feel so overwhelmed. I workout 6x a week and sweat a lot, and want to feel comfortable being able to sweat a lot. Is a Poly thin unit good for that? I'm sure the lace would be better because it's more breathable, but another youtuber said he used a Poly thin unit and he works out all the time and says it may be better overall than a poly/lace hybrid
Hi Drew. Its just really something you have to try. Both of them. To get that exact thing you want. Ya know what im saying, since everyone is different
What CZcamsr was it? Curious to hear their thoughts. In theory, a poly lace hybrid would be best because you get the breathability of a lace but the east clean up and attachment from the poly perimeter. Most hybrids have a poly sides and back and mid front with a lace front for the nice hairline.
Is it possible to do a perimeter bond using liquid adhesive? I can’t do the tapes because they irritate the hell out of my scalp making it very itchy
Sure you can. You can do this many ways. !!!
@@HairExperience Thank you. Is it ok to use Ghost Bond on a monofilament system? I saw a video of a guy that did it and I was surprised.
Can you use a steam cleaner to get adhesive off the lace?
Never tried. I wouldnt think so
What about can I color it if it fades the longevity of the color on a poly unit?
Sure you can. I’ve done many videos on it !
Haha yeah I've let it ride a time or two myself... A good shampooing and a lil oil and she's good as new 🤘
True !
Do you have access to the tight curly or the afro unit?
Hi. I'm sorry we do not. I was doing our development of the product when the rona showed up and stopped it. Once we are back to normal I will get it going again !
Every time I clean my poly it rips. I have to change it every 12 to 14 days and when I clean the glue off it rips?
Hi Drew, ive done videos on this. I do not ever rip mine. Im not sure what to say to help.
Other than, let the adhesive remover do its job. Spray the unit down and let it sit 5-7 min to break down the tape/bond. Hope that helps !
Been wearing a lace system for 10 years, I use all tape. Can you use all tape on the poly? Does the front / hairline of the poly system look better the lace system ?
Hey Peter, yes you can. I personally do with my unit. I do not tape the hairline though. Ive never been a fan of how that looks. Lace or poly, its just to thick in my opinion. But this is to each his own, ya know !
@@HairExperience poly fuse or liquid glue is very tough on the skin I use ultra thin tape. If I send you a lace system can you replicate the color/cut/shape in poly ?
@@PeterParker-ij7nz I agree. This is why I use tape everywhere other than the hairline. Im NOT a fan of a full bond !!! We can when customs come back !!!
What did you say was the reason you chose to stick with poly?
Just a preference thing, thats all !
I want to change my system from lace to poly. But i just want to know if it can last long time or how months will still live.
Hi and great question. But not really a question that has a 100% answer. Because everyone is different. Average life is 3 months on my units
Here to help
@@HairExperience thats good thax. What about holding can use extra hold glue or bond . And it can hold for long time?
It really works different for everyone. Just have to try it out and see
@@HairExperience thx man
when you say the system lasts 3 months, what exactly is the failure? is it the base, the hair volume, color, texture? something else? There is a local guy that does Cyberhair and claims it'll last 2 to 3 years but it is on basically the same base as these
It’s a little bit of all of that.
Cyber hair is synthetic. And stronger. So if the base is stronger and the hair is stronger it will last longer. But realism suffers because of it
And again should some one ask this question again and again)))
If chose between poly 0.02 or 0.03 or 0.05/6mm Wich one will be best for first time in live to use hair system?
And how fine you are use right now ?
Possible to colour that hair system from back to light brown ?
Thanks again ;)))
Hi, really depends on the user, each person is different. I have taught many many to use the .02 -.04 units and they are just fine
I use our invisiSKin
Yes you can color it, just dont get any dye on the base
Парамон, в России тоже используют это?

What kind you are wearing in this video, poly or lace? Honestly,it looks naturally.
Thank you !! This is our poly, invisiskin
How does poly work with getting super sweaty every day? I’m on lace currently and I go to the gym twice a day, and get sweaty at work usually. So lots of sweat.
Sweat is tough. I sweat every single day. I live in Florida. It works out fine for me. I will say the summer I have more maintenance than winter. Hope that helps!
i see yr getting some invisiskin units in! how bout those lace units, still no end in sight to the shortage?
Lace is still super delayed
Hi Curtis, when will the 20% off coupon return?
Hi !! The moment costs of labor and materials get back to normal. Everything across the world is up in cost right now. We are not immune of that, super sorry
Can you workout in poly unit? And you said it's v-looped right, so does the v-looped hair fall out ? And also what's it like to sleep or lie down on the unit?
I work out and sweat a lot, I wear a poly and I can feel the sweat moving through my head trying to find a way out. What I did is I left a bit of space in between the tape so that sweat can get out, it seems to be working.
Missy, absolutely. I was outside in the heat yesterday for hours building an outdoor grill (Kitchen) It was hot and did just fine.
Yes the hair fails out over time, its just part of it
@@HairExperience thank you

Hi Rome. Absolutely, thats something like our Hybridlace
@@HairExperience hey is it possible to have skin for the frontals part . And lace everything else . ?
@@romerome6968 actually we tried that. With a super thin .03-.06 and the failure point was the seam. That would be a great unit !
@@HairExperience ok thanks
I’m looking to purchase how do I go about this? My name is Anthony Purcaro.
Hey. I’m happy to help. Just contact me through my website !
Just subscribed.
Your front hairline with this piece is fairly thick but I think you're youthful enough to get away with it. IMO a light-medium density is almost always better but this unit works on you.
Do you wear your pieces for weeks at a time?
Agreed. this one is brand new, I just let it ride. the density is the same as its always been. I just went big and poofy on this style
@@HairExperience
Thanks for your honest reply. All the best.
So how do you clean the glue out of a lace hair piece if it seeps through the base and into the hair? Do you just throw it away at that point?
Hi, what's best to do for swimming what will hold better ?
Really depends on you. I have done everything in my InvisiSkin so that works best for me
what about hybrid systems?
Unfortunatly they are not available Sorry !
Any luck regarding lace units? How durable and breathable is your 0.5 skin system?
We are getting them but very very few. These are used in our backlog first.
The .05 (My Duraskin) is not breathable at all. The InvisiSkin does, but not like a lace.
I'm still rocking your hybrid system, since late September, the wheels are about to fall off, lol! How strong is the 0.5? I do a link attachment in the back.
What glue is recommended. Live in Wa mild humidity but want glue that holds the strongest??
Hey Greg. Really no 100% answer to that question. Its really what works best for your, and you body chem
@@HairExperience do you have an email I’ve got a few questions? Thanks
The easy way to clean is to use johnson and johnson Baby oil and rub it off with towel
Im def gonna give that a try
@@HairExperience i have been cleaning it with that for 5 years and it works well .. make sure to just put a few drops not a lot..
Had a poly installed and less than two hours later began to lift, had it re-done sat in the sun for less than 10min started lifting again. The girl that installed it, just keeps telling me that sweat will cause that. Absolutely gutted spending that type of money to have a completely failed system.
I sweated all damn day today. No lift.
Wrong bond for sure. I'm happy to help. My extreme clear will fix that
@@HairExperience could be wrong bonding?
@@HairExperience Ive been using ghost bond. The first time it was tape, didn’t last and second was the bond. Both times failed on me. I appreciate your help.
Could be too much bond. Area not clean of contamination. Many things. Try an acrylic based clear bond. Tape on back and sides. That may help
@@tyleredwards2840 What i've also gathered from other video's online is to apply it in a cold room. Somewhere with AC would be your best bet. Prevents the bond going soft before you apply the unit and after.
Hey Curtis!
How do you feel about some you tubers adding small amounts of olive oil or coconut oil to nourish the hair? I’m thinking about trying it on my unit before my next install to experiment .
Also I think I want to try lace next because I’ve heard the hairline is better. I want to wear a fully exposed hairline like yours.
Hey !! Im not a fan of this. There are plenty of products out there made to condition hair the right way.
@@HairExperience gotcha thank you Curtis wasn’t sure if you addressed it!
@@HairExperienceWhat are some products you recommend that can nourish the hair?
i dunno.. to me a good lace unit looks the best even with the knots. They use half knots in the front you can't even see them on a good quality system.. The V loop looks more like doll hair to me. Plus the line the skin makes because of the way it reflects different light to me looks more visible than a lace system. A super fine swiss lace hairline to me is the best.
Its def a personal preference !!!
@@HairExperience true. But you're in the business so I don't mean any offense. Poly is what has been the most readily available to customers these days.
@@robertrobertson4908 No offense taken at all. And thats totally not the reason. Ive worn poly for YEARS. Way before all this went down.
@@HairExperience understood. I respect that. I been looking for a long time for a company to do a front replacement. I have a system that is collecting dust, not cut in, it's got a lace base and a skin front. The skin front is horribly thick and unwearable. I'd love to get the front replaced with either a better thinner skin or even lace.. ANYTHING. Is this something possible with your company?

With poly is it safe to ride roller coasters?

How much does ur units cost?
