Bold Hold Active Reloaded review

Bold Hold Active Reloaded is the glue The Hair Diagram makes for the hardest conditions: excessively oily skin, heavy perspiration, hot climates and high-activity days. The company lists a hold time of up to two to three weeks with proper prep and care, and its own FAQ says Active Reloaded is stronger than its Extreme Creme Reloaded. The formula lists just two ingredients, acrylates copolymer and water, and dries clear. The routine is simple but strict: cleanse, apply Bold Hold Skin Protect, add a thin layer, wait until tacky, press the lace and tie it down with an elastic band. The safety notes are specific too: a 24-hour patch test before first use, no alcohol to clean the skin or melt the lace, and no use on broken skin, acne, eczema or psoriasis. At $26.99 for 1.3 oz it costs more than GHOSTBOND, and the recommended Skin Protect adds $19.99.
