Wearing a hair system takes some getting used to. Although it looks and feels just like your natural hair, it can’t be treated in exactly the same way.
Here we share the dos and don’ts for men with newly fitted hair systems so they can get clued up on the essentials of their brand new looks.
Hair systems are made for everyday life, and this includes being able to wash your hairpiece just like your normal hair. Hair systems are waterproof and you should embrace its water-resistant qualities by living life your way, which means showering, swimming and exercising just the way you want to.
Although hair systems are well known for their water resistance, you shouldn’t rush to the pool or shower as soon as your system has been fitted.
We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before getting your hair system wet in any way. This will give the adhesive that secures your hair system in place enough time to fully cure. When you do eventually hit the pool, you should follow these golden rules for swimming in your wig to keep your hair system in tip-top condition.

“A wig adhesive is exactly what it sounds like: a product applied to a hairpiece or your scalp to help lock the wig in place on your head.
