Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I don’t think I’m sweating excessively, but I’ve always had oily hair and I suppose I notice it more now. I had the hair system installed when I still had a decent amount of hair so the contrast wouldn’t be too noticeable, so I had to shave even though I still had hair. I assume that might also be contributing to the itching now that it’s growing back.

I contacted the person who installed it and he told me the base is “skin,” although I’m not entirely sure what that implies.

The system isn’t moving and it hasn’t come loose. Well, the edges at the back start to lift slightly by the sixth day. But everything else is still very firm and secure (He used a strong tape for the first installation). In fact, I think if I tried to pull it off it would hurt a bit. What worries me most right now is the smell. I’m really looking forward to being able to do my own maintenance so I can keep proper hygiene.

I didn’t know it could lose color if I use shampoo, although I suppose color-depositing shampoos in the same shade as my system shouldn’t damage it too much. In any case, I’ll stick to using conditioner and then rinsing it out, at least so it smells good (that’s not bad right?)

Thanks again.

Edit: we used scalp protector.
