Have you ever wanted to change up your hairstyle but found that your natural hair just won’t cooperate? Maybe you’ve considered getting a hair system, but you’re not sure which attachment method is right for you. Well, you’re in luck because today we’re going to talk about the three most common ways to attach and remove hair systems: tape, glue, and clip-ons.
Let’s start with tape. Tape is one of the most popular attachment methods for hair systems because it’s easy to use and provides a secure hold. There are two types of tape: double-sided and single-sided. Double-sided tape is the most commonly used type because it allows you to attach the hair system directly to your scalp. Single-sided tape is used to attach the hair system to a hairpiece, which is then clipped onto your natural hair.
To apply double-sided tape, you’ll need to clean your scalp with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry completely. Then, you’ll apply the tape to your scalp and press it down firmly. Once the tape is in place, you can attach the hair system by pressing it onto the tape. To remove the hair system, you’ll need to use a solvent that’s designed to break down the adhesive. Apply the solvent to the edge of the hair system and gently lift it off your scalp.
Next up is glue. Glue is another popular attachment method that provides a strong hold. However, it’s a bit more complicated to use than tape. There are two types of glue: water-based and solvent-based. Water-based glue is easier to use and is less likely to cause skin irritation. Solvent-based glue provides a stronger hold but can be more difficult to remove.
To apply glue, you’ll need to clean your scalp with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry completely. Then, you’ll apply a thin layer of glue to your scalp and allow it to dry until it becomes tacky. Once the glue is tacky, you can attach the hair system by pressing it onto your scalp. To remove the hair system, you’ll need to use a solvent that’s designed to break down the adhesive. Apply the solvent to the edge of the hair system and gently lift it off your scalp.
Finally, we have clip-ons. Clip-ons are the easiest attachment method to use because they don’t require any adhesive. Instead, the hair system is attached to a hairpiece that has clips attached to it. The clips are then clipped onto your natural hair.
To attach a clip-on hair system, you’ll need to first style your natural hair to match the hair system. Then, you’ll position the hairpiece on your head and clip it onto your natural hair. To remove the hair system, you’ll simply unclip the clips and gently lift the hairpiece off your head.
In conclusion, there are three main attachment methods for hair systems: tape, glue, and clip-ons. Each method has its own pros and cons, so it’s important to choose the method that works best for you. If you’re not sure which method to use, consult with a hair system professional who can help you make the right choice. With the right attachment method, you can enjoy a new hairstyle that looks and feels natural.
