Putting on a toupee for men can be done using various methods, depending on the type of attachment or base construction. Here are some common ways to put on a toupee:
- Adhesive Tape Method:
- Clean and dry your scalp.
- Cut the adhesive tape into small strips or use pre-cut tape pieces.
- Attach the tape to the edges of the toupee’s base, ensuring proper coverage along the hairline and sides.
- Remove the protective backing from the adhesive tape.
- Carefully position the toupee onto your head, starting from the front hairline and pressing it firmly down onto your scalp.
- Liquid Adhesive/Glue Method:
- Prepare your scalp by cleaning it thoroughly and making sure it is free from oils or residue.
- Apply a thin layer of liquid adhesive or glue evenly along your scalp where you want to attach the toupee.
- Let it dry for a few minutes until tacky (follow product instructions).
- Gently place and press down the front edge of the toupee onto your scalp first, then smooth it back over your head.
- Clips/Combs Attachment Method: Some toupees come with built-in clips or combs that can be used to secure them in place. The steps are as follows:
- Style your natural hair if necessary before putting on
- Positioning: Place and adjust each clip comb securely within existing hair at different points around your head; ensure they feel comfortable without causing tension.
- Secure: Once properly positioned, gently push down each comb/clip so that they grip onto existing hair securely.
