  • Always start with a clean scalp and hair system. Prepare your scalp properly before attaching the hair system.
  • Regardless of the adhesive, it’s essential to apply red liner tape to the polyurethane surfaces as an undercoat to accommodate easy clean-up.
  • After showering or working out, the bond will seem as though it's weakening, however, your hair system is still secure.  The bond softened a bit due to extra moisture. You need not apply any more adhesive to the hairpiece as the bond will harden again.
  • Airborne dust will attach itself to the toupee adhesive in the front edge of lace units and may become visible. The best times to clean the hairpiece and scalp is soon after a shower.
