After the NXGEN 1 and 2 scalp cleaner, I went next door for a hair cut.  Afterwards I gave my scalp one quick washing to make sure there was no loose hairs in the bonding area. After drying my scalp, I sprayed the NXGEN Step 3 Scalp Prep on the bonding area. 

I got my new disposable hair system out of the box.  I like having the unit cut and blended with the bonding strips already on the system when I get it.  I prefer the scalloped no shine this side to base in the front and the Supertape on the perimeter. 

All I need to do right out of the box is peel the backing off the bonding strips, spray a little Adjust-A-Bond on the adhesive and position into place on my head.  Then I thoroughly saturate the system with temped water and blot it with a towel.  I usually use a little Spay Gel Mist on my own hair just to give it a little body.  Sometimes I'll use the hair dryer on my growing hair a bit, but I prefer to leave it all dry naturally.

Surface preparation is the key to a strong bond.  I sure am putting the NXGEN to the test.  On Saturday the temperature was in the 90's and real humid.  I worked with three other guys laying 950 sq. ft. of pavers under our deck.  I never worked so damn hard or sweated so much in my life.  I think it was worth it because we really like the way the patio turned out.

This coming weekend I have another dirty sweaty project on the river shore.  I'm really putting the NXGEN surface preperation to the test.  I'll let you know.  

By the way, I tried Tim Ferris' adhesive removal and mirror slide clean on the unit I only wore for 2 weeks.  I put the bonding strips on it so I'm ready to go next week when I do a switch.      

Have a great hair day.
