Please help me with my hairline

Hey guys.

Firstly, I want to say sorry for the long message but I’m at my wits end and I just can’t find much help with this.

So this is my first system I’ve ever had. I genuinely love it except for this hairline. So some background, I got this system about a month ago. I live in Bangkok, Thailand if that helps paint a picture. A salon installed it at first and it looks great. A week later, the system adhesive failed and the system was just sloughing off. I ran back to the salon. I made extra sure to stay inside, AC blasting at all times for at least 48 hours. It seemed good. A week later - it failed. I got some glue and tape for myself from a shop in Bangkok and started installing myself. That’s been a bit of a learning curve but I think we’ve got it. I then purchased a bunch of supplies from Super Hair Pieces; glue, tapes, scalp protector, solvent, proper shampoo and conditioner. We started installing immediately. So I have walkers ultra hold tape and ghost bond platinum glue. I tape and glue the side and back and just use glue on the lace front hair line. No matter what I do the hair line just fails after 2 days. I clean it and reinstall the hairline every 2 days. It’s so frustrating.

I am a teacher here in Bangkok so having my hairline fail in class is my new biggest nightmare - kids are horribly cruel.

It is rainy season right now, so it is hot and humid but I keep a fan on me anytime I am outside to prevent sweat.

On Monday the hairline was a total loss. In the middle of the day it started lifting badly and I had to make sure not to touch the hair at all. I got home, cleaned the glue off and reinstalled - trying to be very very careful about thin layers of glue and getting it to cure before applying a new layer. I did about 4 layers as it says on the bottle. Today after my shower, it failed.

What is happening? I am constantly stressing out and anxious about this hairline. The rest of the system feels firmly intact but the hairline just does not want to stay put. Any advice will be greatly welcome.
