Yes, it is generally recommended to remove a toupee or hairpiece for men before bathing. This helps prevent damage to the hairpiece and ensures proper hygiene. Here are some points to consider:
- Adhesive type: Depending on the adhesive used, some toupees may require special care during removal. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions or consult with a professional stylist experienced in handling hairpieces.
- Water exposure: Extended exposure to water can weaken adhesives and potentially loosen the attachment of the toupee. Therefore, removing it before bathing is advisable.
- Cleaning: While you have removed your toupee, take this opportunity to clean it if necessary according to the manufacturer’s guidelines or using appropriate wig cleaning products.
- Storage: After removing your toupee, store it properly in a safe place away from moisture until you are ready to reattach it after bathing.
