For Newbies to Hair System Installation: When Is the Glue Ready for Sticking?

How do you use adhesive or glue effectively for hair system installation?

Many new stylists would do this: Brush hair system glue or adhesive onto the base or the wearer’s scalp, then immediately stick the hair system to the head. Is it correct? No! There’s more to it than you might think.

Do NOT stick the hairpiece on after applying hair system glue on the client’s scalp or the underside of the base while it’s still wet and stringy. Hair system glue doesn’t work that way! It’s a bit different from gluing a piece of paper to a box.

While installing hair systems, before sticking the hair system on, you must wait for the glue to dry, which usually takes several minutes. Read on, and we’ll show you the correct way of hair system installation using adhesive.

How to Tell When the Hair System Glue Is Ready for Sticking:

  • How it feels: The hair system glue feels tacky when dry. If it’s still stringy, then it’s not ready to stick the hairpiece on.
  • How it looks: The adhesive glue becomes thin and transparent when the solvent has evaporated. When dry, water-based glue turns from white to transparent, indicating it’s time to stick on.
  • How long it takes: Glue dry times depend on the type and brand of the hair system glue. For instance, silicone-based adhesive glues, such as Walker Tape Ultra Hold, usually take 5-8 minutes to set, while water-based adhesives, such as Ghost Bond, dry a tad faster, typically in less than 3-5 minutes. Dry time is also influenced by air humidity, the individual wearer’s skin chemistry, how thick the glue is applied, and more.

How to Apply Adhesive Properly for Hair System Installation:

Step 1: Before hair system installation, prepare the scalp by cleaning it with 99% alcohol and applying scalp protectors. Clean the hair system base with alcohol to ensure it is also free of oils and residue.

Step 2: Evenly brush the adhesive glue over the scalp in horizontal and vertical strokes. Apply two coats, giving each a few minutes to set. Once the second coat is on, please wait for it to get sticky. To dry faster, use a blow dryer.

Step 3: Once the hair system glue is all set, place the hairpiece precisely over the area of the head it will cover and give it a gentle press using the flat edge of a comb. Work around the edges, pressing it gently against the scalp, and hold it tight for 10 seconds.

Step 4: Now, the hair system has been installed, and is ready for you to cut and style.

Some Valuable Tips for Hair System Installation Using Adhesive Glue

✍The Thinner, the Better: Apply thin layers of adhesive glue instead of thick ones; they dry faster and make cleaning a breeze. Thin layers also help avoid unwanted seepage through the base onto the hair.

✍Dry It Faster With a Blowdryer: Grab a hair blower and give the glue a quick blow-dry to expedite the drying process.

✍No Swimming Within 24 Hours of Installation: Remind your client to refrain from swimming, working out, or shampooing the hair within at least 24 hours of installation. Otherwise, the hair system is more likely to come off.

Conclusion

You’re now equipped with all the knowledge required to apply adhesive for hair system installation.

● What hobbies and interests do you have?

I enjoy exercising. That’s a very important part of my life. I’m a super active person.

● Do you have a phobia? If you do, what is it?

No, not that I know of. I’m a very realistic person. If you mention outlandish stuff like aliens, monster in the bush, I’d be out of my mind.

● What is something you would love to do in the future?

I want to learn how to swim. I know it might sound a bit sarcastic, as I just mentioned that I enjoy doing exercise. Unfortunately, swimming hasn’t been on my list. I think I better catch up on that.

● What wig would you wear if you wore one and why?

I’d give HW1 a try. It looks natural and beautiful. Though we categorize it as a medical wig, almost any female can wear it. It’s got a lace mesh base, breathable, and flexible. You don’t need glue or tape to fix it to your head. Pretty easy, and it gives you all the long hair look a girl could want.

  • How would people in the office describe you?

At our end-of-year conference, my colleagues agreed that I’m a warm hearted, positive, and easy-going teammate. It gives me a sense of reward.

  • Do you have a phobia? If you do, what is it?

I don’t like being confined in a very small space. I believe it was due to a childhood experience. When I was six years old, I accidentally tripped and fell into a shallow well. I had to wait for two hours before I was found. Since then, I’ve found I just can’t tolerate the idea of being alone. I guess that makes me an active team player.

  • You are happiest when…

This may sound boastful, but it’s true. It’s just part of my nature to help others. When I actually see that what I did for them has helped them achieve something, it just makes me excited.

  • Which men’s/women’s hair system do you sell the most? Why that model?

I recomend HS25V. Oftentimes I’d introduce this model to my new clients to start with, so they can introduce this to their new clients see if hair systems are what really suit them, before they carry on with lace or mono hair systems.

  • Do you have any pet hates?

I’m a typical town girl, you know. I’m into cats and dogs. But things like snakes, all sorts of insects, and hamsters; they are not my cup of tea. So, never get them near me.

  • Which men’s/women’s hair system do you sell the most? Why that?

Most of my clietns are after Q6. And their clients happened to be guys who are into hair systems that are durable and natural. Q6 is a pretty good pick for them. With proper care, it should easily last 6 months.

  • Tell us an interesting fact about yourself other than your qualifications, your job.

I’m always fascinated about an exotic lifestyle. I really wish I could travel a lot, go to many different countries, and try their local gourmet food, and get in touch with the locals to actually have a feel of their culture.

  • Do you have a phobia? If you do, what is it?

I’m always afaid of heights. With any tall buildings, be it a chimney or TV tower, I look at it, and imagine I’m looking down right from the top, it will give me sweaty palms.

  • Do you have any pet hates?

Not at all. I generally love all pets. Dog, cats, guinea pigs, rabits, etc. I love them.

When you feel tired,it means you are walking uphill. I believe this quote as a truth that gives me a lift whenever I’m down. I believe there’s no gain without pain. Without trying, we can’t achieve anything.

  • Which men’s/women’s hair system do you sell the most? Why that model?

With me personally, the best-selling hair system has been HS1. It has what it’s required out of a good quality hair system, in terms of a natural-looking hairline, undetectable scalp, etc. Most wearers and salon owners are familiar with it. Plus, all our clients have faith in the quality of this hair system. According to their feedback, this is an easy-to-attach, easy-to-maintain hair system for both men and women.

I don’t know why I share the same gene with Doraemon. I’m scared of rats. I’m a 6’3″, but I hate rats; seeing one really freaks me out.

  • Which men/women’s hair system do you sell the most? Why that model?

New Australia. When it first came out in early 2023, it made me top of sales. I think most wearers like it because at the design statge, our experts considered all possible aspects people could want from a hairpiece, such as a natural look, a level of comfort, and affordablity; it’s similar to lace, but most wearers can afford.
