How to attach the toupee

• Here is a detailed introduction to the steps of attaching a hair system with glue or tape:

Attaching with Glue

1. Clean the scalp: First, wash the scalp thoroughly with a mild shampoo to remove oil, dirt, and any residue from previous applications. Dry it completely with a clean towel or a hair dryer1. It is also recommended to use an alcohol - based cleanser and a cotton ball to wipe the scalp 2 - 3 times to achieve an antiseptic effect1.
2. Apply glue to the front half of the base: Use a hair glue applicator or a small brush to apply a thin and even layer of glue to the front half of the base of the hair system. Do not apply too much glue to avoid creating visible lines or clumps.
3. Check the position of the hair system: Align the hair system with the hairline and check if the position is correct. You can use a makeup pencil similar to the color of your hair to draw dots around the edges of the hair system to mark the contour of the lace in advance, which is helpful for accurate positioning1. Generally, the hair system should be positioned 4 fingers above the eyebrows1.
4. Apply glue to the scalp: Apply a thin layer of glue to the corresponding area of the scalp where the front half of the hair system is to be attached, following the same principle of even application.
5. Activate the glue with a hair dryer: Use a hair dryer on a low - heat setting to blow - dry the glued area, which can help the glue set quickly. Be careful not to use high heat to avoid damaging the hair and the glue.
6. Press the hair system into place: Gently press the front half of the hair system onto the scalp, making sure it adheres firmly and there are no wrinkles or bubbles.
7. Apply glue to the back half of the base: Repeat steps 2 - 6 for the back half of the base of the hair system, that is, apply glue to the back half of the base, then apply glue to the corresponding area of the scalp, activate the glue with a hair dryer, and press the hair system firmly into place.
8. Cut the hair as desired: After the hair system is completely attached, style and cut the hair according to your preferences.

Attaching with Toupee Tapes

1. Prepare the scalp and hair system: Ensure that both the scalp and the base of the hair system are clean, dry, and free of grease. Remove any stubble or hair from the scalp area to be attached.
2. Apply the scalp protector: Apply a thin layer of scalp protector to the scalp in the area where the tape will be attached.
3. Apply toupee tape: Peel off the protective paper from one side of the double - sided toupee tape and apply it around the scalp, leaving about 1 inch from the front hairline and the back of the temples without tape. Then remove the remaining protective paper.
4. Place the hair system: Place the front of the hair system in position and roll it back onto the scalp, being careful not to let the hair fall on the tape. Then firmly press the area on the hair band to fix the hair system on the scalp and make it smooth to avoid wrinkles or folds.
5. Fix the front of the hair system: Use a light - colored eyebrow pencil to outline the outline of the lace about 1/8 inch from the front edge of the lace. Then place toupee tape along the traced hairline, but do not cover the marked points. Gently pull the front side of the lace forward onto the toupee tape and use the flat edge of a comb to press the lace down.
6. Style the hair: Finally, brush the hair to blend it with your natural hair.
