Walker Tape Ultra Hold review

Walker Tape Ultra Hold comes from the hair replacement trade rather than the lace wig market, which shows in how it is sold: the official store lists the 1/2, 1.4, 3.4, 4 and 16 fl oz bottles, with or without a brush, but shows prices only after you log in, so we could not verify a USD price. Walker Tape calls Ultra Hold its most reliable, longest lasting liquid adhesive hold, and describes it as gentle on skin, easy to clean, waterproof and clear drying for a shine-free finish. The directions are more involved than the lace glues above: clean the skin with 99% alcohol, apply Max Hold Sport as a scalp primer, add two thin layers, let them get very tacky, then press and hold for 10 seconds, and avoid swimming, workouts and shampoo for at least 24 hours. It is also flammable. It suits hair system wearers and stylists who buy through Walker Tape distributors more than first-time lace wig wearers.
