 USA Tape

USA Tape

This new tape is a true no residue tape that is also a low-to-no shine product. Also it gives a very strong bond and is priced low. Therefore it is a viable alternative to all other glue and tape and never needs adhesive remover for a clean up. Ideal for lace, poly or mono, all you need is Lace Release (or alcohol) and pack of these and you are ready to travel anywhere.

While there are slightly less shiny tapes out there, they are all very messy and do not have the bonding force of USA Tape. So this is the one to try!

 No Residue Tape

No Residue Sunshine Tape

Medium-shine clear tape with a 5-15 day hold that comes off so cleanly you will want to use it for daily attachment also. Shown here in a CC curve. Our most popular product! Designed for extended wear and no clean up issues.

Gives a strong hold, and is released easily leaving behind no mess whatsoever, either on the hairpiece or on the skin. Plus, with a long-term bond, no sticky stuff ever appears through the lace or on the forehead beyond the hairline, so no dirt has anything sticky to stick to, meaning this product gives you a clean and touchable forehead and hairline on the second day!

It is not 100% ideal, because it has a slight shine to it that you may see through the lace, but you can knock this shine down with your fingers, and the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Note: the side adjacent to the printed backing is much less shiny than the side adjacent to the brown split backing, so if using with a lace front, peel and apply split side to scalp first, then peel the printed side and place lace down onto it.

USA Tape is a newer product than this that has a stronger bond and less shine, whle still being no resdidue, but USA tape may be too strong for a frequent removal so this Sunshine tape is still a fantastic product. If you hate havng to clean up glue residue, use this tape exclusively and your problems vanish.

 


Extenda Bond

Extenda Bond Mini Strips

Low-shine very strong bonding tape. Comes in bag of 36. Each tape is 1.5" X 0.75" with a slight curve. Stronger even than Blue Liner Tape and less messy. Results vary, but you will probably get a very long hold from this tape. The manufacturer says 6 weeks, we say 1 to 3 weeks is very likely.

 

 


3 MIL Tape

3 MIL Lace Front Glue Tape

No-shine clear glue without any tape liner between waxed paper peel-off backing. Extra thin! Recently improved with stronger adhesive! Shown here in an A curve.

Designed for light density lace fronts where shiny tape would show. 3 MIL is 3/1000th of an inch.


Advantages: Holds for 5 to 12 days and is not shiny at all. Amazing results with lace front hairpieces! A great choice for oily skin as it will not bleed and migrate as much as the liquid glues. If you are tired of having glue beyond your edge, or not close enough to your edge, try 3MIL tape, and place it on the unit, not your head, and put it right on the edge every time. Once again, this is glue, in a tape format. There is no actual tape at all.


Disadvantages: An older concept, this tape is becoming less popular each year. White Glue or USA Tape would be better choices.


 

Blue Liner Lace Front Support Tape

USA Tape has more or less made this blue tape obsolete so we have discontinued it.
