When it comes to applying a thin skin hairpiece, here are some steps to follow for the best results:
- Prepare the scalp: Before application, ensure that your scalp is clean and free from any oils or residues. Use a gentle cleanser specifically designed for the scalp and rinse thoroughly.
- Trim the hairpiece: If needed, trim excess lace or any other parts of the hairpiece that may not be necessary for attachment. Be cautious and take small cuts at a time to avoid cutting too much.
- Apply adhesive: Choose an adhesive suitable for thin skin pieces (such as liquid adhesive or tape) based on your personal preference and comfort level. Apply a thin layer evenly onto your scalp using a brush or applicator provided with the adhesive.
- Allow drying time: Different adhesives have varying drying times—follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding how long you should wait before attaching the hairpiece. It is crucial to let it dry until tacky as this ensures proper bonding.
- Positioning: Gently place the front edge of the hairpiece onto your forehead, aligning it with your natural hairline if desired. Gradually press down along its perimeter, smoothing out any air bubbles or wrinkles as you go.
- Secure firmly: Once in place, apply gentle pressure around all edges to ensure maximum adherence between your scalp and thin skin base.
- Style as desired: You can now style your new piece just like real hair! Trim, cut, comb, and shape it according to your preferred hairstyle while being cautious near any attachment points.
