Whatever your hair loss journey or your experience with wigs and hairpieces, keeping your wig secure and in place will be a top priority.
Alongside measuring for your wig to achieve an accurate fit, there are a few accessories that should be in your arsenal as a wig wearer. Some however are more useful for those suffering from hair loss than others as Beautycon reveals:
“If you’ve got a bald head or areas where hair is missing, you can keep your wig in place with the help of some double-sided tape or wig glue. If you get some that is top-quality, both are easy to apply and remove.”
If you’ve decided that wig tape or glue is right for you, you may be overwhelmed by the choice of adhesives available. To help you select the perfect product, we’re here to share our top wig tapes, adhesives and removers for 2024!
For daily wear
Are you the proud owner of a ladies full head system? Then we’d recommend using good quality wig tape instead of glue as your chosen adhesive.
You’ll find just that with our Daily Wear Clear Deluxe Tape, which offers up to three days’ wear with each use. Providing 12 yards (approximately 11 metres) of hypoallergenic, skin-friendly tape, this product is a bestseller for good reason!
As with any wig tape or adhesive, it is important to patch test this product before its first, full use.
For sensitive skin
If you wear a mens toupee and have sensitive skin, you shouldn’t have to compromise on security. Our Great White Brush On Adhesive is strong and skin-friendly, as well as specially formulated for extended wear.
It uses a water based, co-polymer, latex free solution to provide long lasting hold that’s ultra-discreet. In fact, this adhesive dries clear and is completely waterproof to keep your toupee in place even in the most humid conditions.
Great White’s water base also means it can be removed quickly, simply and gently, with just soap and water needed to release its ultra-strong grip.
For perfect prep
Preparing your scalp for the application of tape or wig glue is the key to a strong, long lasting hold, and there’s no better way to do that than with our 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.
This medical grade solution from leading brand Walker Tape is THE way to clean application areas and any tools (like adhesive brushes). It removes oil, dirt and residue that can so easily compromise the bond between wig and scalp.
Please note, as with wig tapes and adhesives, you must perform a patch test before using this product. This product should also be stored at room temperature.
For active hairpiece wearers
Your hairpiece doesn’t have to get in the way of you achieving those fitness goals! No matter how rigorous your workout routine, our Extreme Hold Glue will keep you secure. This silicone-based liquid glue is fully waterproof for maximum wear. It also dries clear so you can workout with confidence.
Please note, we do not advise using glue on our ladies full head systems, only on mens toupees.
Always patch test before use. If no allergic reaction or irritation occurs, prepare the scalp with 99% Alcohol and Max Hold Sport. Apply with sponge brushes thinly but evenly before blow drying until tacky for the best results. You can then press your hairpiece in place and go about your day.
For gentle removal
Removing your chosen hair piece adhesive doesn’t have to be a difficult task with our Bond Breaker Shampoo. Not to be confused with daily shampoo, this intensely cleansing formula should be used on occasion to break down adhesive and solvent residue, scrub the skin, and clean the hair.
