Proper scalp cleaning
You might have the stronger hair glue stand by,but it doesn't work ,why?one thing most people forget or not pay enough attention is the procedure you use clean your scalp. It seems that everyone of us forget this point,we often blame the quality of the glue or tape.Before asking for money back.you should know that improper scalp cleaning is the culprit yet it's such an easy fix.
Following all of these steps perfectly
Clean ALL of the hair piece adhesive off of your scalp with a good solvent.You have to make sure you get all the damn old glue off of your head,don't assume. Keep the the bonding area "hairless" or "bold"with a razor ,or at lease make the hair "short"..if you have to keep your hair.If you have a good amount of existing hair and the attachment doesn't work well at first, you can use the Glue as you primary attachment method instead of tape.
Using hairpiece tape to attach your hair replacement system is an easy (mess free) way to get a secure bond for both daily but not extended wear.I suggest you you top quality tape if you insist use tape as attachment method. Use glue instead.
This is usually the step people miss or skip
As i mentioned before,proper scalp preparation is so important to achieving strong hair replacement bonding! Before you attach your hair piece with toupee tape or adhesive, it is absolutely vital that you first clean and prepare your scalp thoroughly.
Proper base cleaning
If you're sure that you are trying you best and have done the best practices in keeping your with for scalp cleaning,if you are still having bonding issues,the next key point will be the base cleaning procedure.
For the top bond of hair system adhesive to base, you should bear in mind the glue wasn't just stick on your head.You have to clean ALL of the adhesive off of the hair replacement base. There are few methods to do this included the mirror slide,it looks strange but it work,mirror slide can get all of the adhesive off by just doing the "slide".For others method on how to get the glue off from the base,check out our previous post on Remove Hair Replacement System Glue Steps by Steps Tutorial plus video
After you remove the hair system adhesive using solvent, break out the Dawn again and thoroughly clean the base with the dish soap BEFORE rinsing the solvent out. The dish soap will cut the oils from the solvent so that your tape or glue gets optimal stick.
Tip: Use mirror slide followed by a light spray of solvent to remove adhesive from your hair replacement system base. try it, it works so darn well,sometime even when you can't see or feel any adhesive on the hair piece base, there is still plenty that slides off. , that's just extra assurance that the base is getting super clean,use the solvent just for good measure.
Body chemistry
If you have work damn hard ,tried different skin glue and tape,you have followed proper procedures for a perfectly prepped scalp and base,still doesn't get good result,your problem may lie in a simple (but often frustrating) case of body chemistry versus adhesive type.
In this case, be patient and prepare for a few weeks (or months) of testing and experimentation. check out more on this issue at Water Resistant Hair Replacement system Adhesive .Don't roll your eyes-finding a great bond and the perfect adhesive is SO rewarding in the long-term. It's worth the effort.
If you have very oily skin, you'll need to start with hair piece adhesives that are known to work well with oily skin like Supertape, Safe Grip white adhesive or Ghost Bond white adhesive. If your attempts with those don't fare well, move on to some other adhesives. Whether your skin is oily or not, the same process of elimination applies. If you make your way through a myriad of adhesives, both tapes and glues and still can't get an iron-clad attachment that lasts for as long as you'd hoped, well, that MAY mean that you just need to detach your unit more often than you'd prefer.
Tip: With oily skin, you definitely need to use a coat or two of a scalp prep like Pro Touch No Sweat. Let it dry in between coats. It works similar to an antiperspirant and is well-respected for allowing your favorite adhesive to work even better.
Hair piece disaster
Don't forget! Especially in the hot summer months or if you are experiencing hot flashes, do NOT attempt to do an attachment if you are sweating.Take you time,do it carefully,at that time the bond will take a lot longer to cure.Don't rush,It might cost unforgettable damage not to your hair system but your heard... imagine the hair slip off in the public....
I know there are so many things to learn and take into consideration like the price of the hair system accessories ,the hair replacement System Glue Safety ,etc.Don't worry or giving up ,most of us require experimenting with a few adhesives before finding the best fit. Like I said, most people find a great improvement in attachment time simply by faithfully maintaining the proper procedures for scalp and base cleaning.
