A reliable hair system attachment starts with a clean, dry scalp and a routine that suits both your skin and the products you use. Preparation does not need to be complicated, but it should be careful and consistent.
What to have ready
- A compatible adhesive remover for the previous bond
- A gentle cleanser and clean towels
- Your chosen tape or liquid adhesive
- Any scalp protector that is already part of your routine
- A mirror and enough time to work without rushing
Prepare the scalp
- Remove the previous system slowly with a remover that is compatible with the base and adhesive. Do not pull against resistance.
- Clean away adhesive residue, then wash the scalp to remove oil, remover, and styling product.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry the area completely. Residue or moisture can weaken the next bond.
- Keep surrounding hair clear of the attachment area. Apply scalp protector only if it is suitable for your skin and chosen adhesive, following the product directions.
Patch-test unfamiliar products
Before using a new adhesive, remover, or scalp product over a wider area, follow the manufacturer's patch-test directions on a small area and wait for the full recommended period. If you notice persistent redness, discomfort, or another concerning reaction, stop using the product and seek appropriate professional guidance. Do not attach a system over broken or irritated skin.
Before attachment
Check that the scalp is calm, clean, and fully dry. Confirm the hairline position before applying adhesive, then follow the adhesive manufacturer's timing and application instructions. If you need help choosing a routine, visit the Hair Solutions Co. Help Center.
