I know there must be someone out there that can answer the questions I have, but first, let me tell you what I am trying to make.
I am a hair extension wearer. Without going into a whole 5 page extension education, basically, I wear wefted human hair attached with an extended wear double sided tape. Wefts are long pieces of hair that have been sewn together. During this sewing process the tops of the strand of hair get folded over, so you have a ‘beard’ coming from the weft. This is extremly itchy for me and I want to try to make a weft w/o the fold over. I need some type of adhesive/poly skin base that I can use to take the place of sewing. I need it to be skin safe, relativly flexible, dry clear, and I need tape to stick to. Plus, it has to hold up to water, shampoo, etc….I also want it to be reusable, so it has to sstand up to an orange oil based remover.
I thought about silicone, but tapes won’t stick to it. Everything else I can find is either cancer causing or just wrong. I know there must be products out there in the theaterical environment or something…Any thoughts? Thx!
The hubby works in theater so I asked him. He said they use liquid latex, but it won’t last forever — it’s temporary. He doesn’t know of anything that work really work for what you need it for.
Good luck. I hope you find something, and I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Hey that’s more help than I could ever offer! I read all this and a big question mark formed itself on my forehead 😆

My daughter is a hairstylist and has done a bit of hair weaving. I’ll fire off an email and see if she’s heard of anything 🙂

Well it’s not like I own the color 😉 It does get confusing though when I look in a topic and see this color but don’t remember writing that message! 😆 I did play around with names a good bit before I found it.
