To get started with wearing a hairpiece, you will need some basic glue and tools. Here are the essentials:
1. Adhesive/Glue: There are different types of adhesives available for securing hairpieces, such as liquid adhesive, tape, or adhesive strips. Some popular options include:
- Liquid Adhesive: It comes in various forms like glue or bonding agents specifically designed for attaching hair systems.
- Double-Sided Tape: This is a convenient option that provides temporary attachment and easy removal.
- Adhesive Strips: These pre-cut strips offer quick application and can be easily removed.
2. Scalp Protector/Bonding Barrier: A scalp protector helps create a barrier between your skin and the adhesive to prevent irritation or allergic reactions.
3. Solvent/Remover: You may need a solvent or remover specially formulated to dissolve the adhesive when it’s time to remove the hairpiece.
4. Application Tools:
- Applicator Brush/Sponge/Cotton Swab: Depending on the type of adhesive you use, an applicator brush, sponge, or cotton swab can help evenly distribute the glue onto your scalp.
- Scissors: Use scissors with rounded tips to trim any excess lace from your hair system if needed.
5. Wig Stand/Head Mannequin:
Having a wig stand or head mannequin will make it easier for you to apply glue and style your hairpiece before wearing it.
