"Hi on behalf Expertvillage.com my name is Sean Graham and I'm sponsored by goturkey.com. Our customer has decided that he wants to tape the whole piece around but that is not the only way you can fasten a hair piece onto the head. Obviously in the front there is no hair so you must always put a tape pad into the hair. But on other occasions around the side hear there is usually quite strong hair all the way around and what you can normally do is take a simple hook, like this. These hooks are normally used on umbrella's, on ladies blouses. There's usually a hook and an eye. What we would do is you would take these hooks and we would shove them into the base like so. So the small part of the hook, show you that, the small part of the hook would be showing. This obviously wouldn't be visible for the hair. What you would then do is take a crochet hook, place the piece onto the head, like this, the hook and eye down here, and then you would put the hair through the hook, knot the hair, and then glue that into place pulling the hair down tight like this. Pulling the hair down tight like this on the hook and that would secure the piece to the head. After that you would need to re-tighten maybe six weeks later if the hair grew. Then it's easy to release the hook from the hair by just using some nail bondage remover onto the glue. The glue where you glued the knot into place and then that will release the hair and the hair piece would come off. "
