  • Maxim ?

    11-03-2009, 1:47 PM

    I am interested in hearing from people who use or have used Maxim as a way to reduce skin irritation from tape and glue.  I use scalp protection spray, but I am wondering if I should also try using Maxim (in addition to the spray).  I am experiencing skin irritation from the supertape.

    What say you?!

    Hi Encouraged,

    I know alot of people like it for the benefit of extending bond time but I  haven't heard much about whether or not they use it specifically to help with skin irritation. I have read here on the board that it did not cause irritation for some http://www.hairdirect.com/community/forums/thread/15527.aspx.

    I would guess if the tape is causing the irritation the Maxim would provide a nice barrier, but I'm sure someone who's used it will jump in and help you out.

    Thanks!Big Smile

    Maxim works great as a barrier to prevent perspiration and oils from getting to glue or tape resulting in a longer  bond and easier clean up, ie the glue doesn't break down as fast.  As a skin protector I use a liquid bandage product which also seems to extend the bond.  Just recently I have been experimenting with putting maxim on first and letting it completely dry and then putting a liquid bandage product over the maxim; so far great results.

    Hi,

    I purchased the Maxim at either Babe's or CurlySue's suggestion because of a bad odor experience. I put a thin layer of the Maxim on first and then spritzed with the scalp protector. I haven't had any trouble, but am wondering if I'm doing it right?Tongue Tied

    Hi Gwen--It was Babe, I don't use Maxim. Here's her post on this. Maybe it will help you out.

    Hi Gwen,

    Yep, you are doing it exactly right! I don't use liquid bandage because it was too thick for my liking. I use a coat (thin) of maxim and let it dry completely before spraying Walker's scalp protector on.

    Is it working for you?

    the will to make it work,
    the confidence to wear it boldly
    and the smile to wear under it!

    I've used the liquid bandage a few times and it didn't make any difference in irritation or bonding time. Also, it peeled right up like sunburned skin which seems ineffective.
