    Default really need advice from wearers!

    I have my first system ordered and for reasons I won't bore you with but I'm quite annoyed about I will only have my system for a few days before I go to Cyprus for a two week family holiday!

    I'm worried that this won't give me enough time to get use to the system before a challenging two weeks!

    Basically I'm looking for some reassurance that with all the see swimming water parks pool and intense sun that it's not going to come off at any point! As well as advice on how to care for it in such conditions! I will be wearing a hat a fair bit anyway to protect myself from the sun but not all the time!

    So what do you guys use when on holiday like this to keep the hair system in good condition?

    not much time at all to get use to it.

    Ideally, you need at least 2 cycles - reattachments before you get use to it and understand how it works for you and your skin. Also it takes a little of time and a few washes for a system to settle.

    OK. we are were we are. have you had it attached and cut in? Usually it will take 24 hours for the adhesive to be at max strength.

    Depending on what you use to attach, it should last 2 to 3 weeks, but you may get some lift at the front so a bit of liquid glue is handy.

    Swimming should be fine. Sun is ok for a period, but if its 2-weeks at full sun, it will lighten your piece. A cap or bandana is handy.

    Thank you grincher I really appreciate your reply!

    Haven't had it attached I didn't realize the stylist was away until the 13th and I go on holiday on 21st so I literally have a week to get it on so I suppose it will still be pretty strong when I go as it will be fresh!

    I plan to wear a hat as often as possible as I would anyway in the heat but on days where it's not possible iv read thing like leave in conditioner could protect it, is that the case?

    The stylist who also wears himself has actually posted a YouTube video of himself at a water park and it looks decent to be fair!

    lmao... dude jus come to terms that wigs are for late nite infomercials not REAL life men wanting to go to a water park. not a good idea with carpet glued to ur head. again ur gonna be disappointed and look like a fool.

    my father in law thought the same way you do and he found out the hard way on a cruise going down a water slide that was 10 feet long and then it sank to the bottom of the pool. talk about total humiliation! but hey.... go for it. its ur head!

    come to the realization that if u want hair on ur head ur gonna have to spend money on a HT like millions of other men do every year. there is no easy fix. wigs look rediculous!
