If you don't get on with Micropore try Transpore, and if there's any residue Zoff removes it.
Failing that try superglueing the eye guard to the inside of a balaclava and then put that on!!

Why, are you not meant to have your hair cut for a few weeks after graft?

I didn't kn ow that mircropore varied from vendor to vendor. In my foolishness I just thought that it was a product that was of a constant quality.

I get mine in boots the chemist, because it is convenient.

Is there anything else like this that varies from shop to shop?

I think perhaps i am being to relaxed here.
I only wore my eye shield for 2 weeks and that was in my written notes about how to look after your graft.
i have had my hair cut twice and had a full head of highlights since my graft.
The only thing i haven't had done since is having my eyebrows waxed, but they are going to need doing very soon :D

Well I've never understood *ahem* below the waist waxing myself, seems like a cruel and unusual form of torture to me!

oooh how foolish do i feel, i could have swore i read somewhere that u should avoid havin ur hair cut, and also the fact it seems to grow out and not down, but rest assured its gettin done on monday.

As for waxing - i got my eyebrows done, once. Never again!

Andrew - i thought all micropore was the same too, however the supermarket ones just have no stickiness to them whatsoever. And in quality terms i think boots points are better!

Anyone ever tried eyelash tinting or, unbelievably - perming?!
