Yes, it is generally recommended to shave the area where the tape or glue will be applied before attaching a toupee or hairpiece for men. Shaving helps create a smooth surface that allows better adhesion and reduces the risk of discomfort or irritation when using adhesive methods.
By shaving the scalp, you remove any existing hair that could interfere with the proper attachment of the toupee. This ensures that the adhesive can securely bond with your skin, providing a more natural and secure fit.
It’s important to use a clean razor and follow proper shaving techniques to minimize any potential cuts or irritation. If you are unsure about shaving yourself, consider seeking assistance from professionals who specialize in wig application or consult with experienced stylists who can guide you through this process.
