Let’s make your wig experience comfortable and confidence-boosting!

Who Should Use Wig Glue?

Not everyone is a good candidate for wig glue. The best candidates are those experiencing hair loss (like alopecia), sensitive skin, or those seeking a secure, natural-looking fit. If you still have healthy edges or are concerned about potential damage, it’s important to choose the right product and method.

Why Choose Water-Soluble Wig Glue?

Water-soluble glues, like “Lock Down,” are ideal for sensitive skin. They dissolve easily with water, leaving no residue or damage to your scalp or wig. This makes them perfect for people with medical conditions such as lupus or MS that may cause hair loss and scalp sensitivity.

Step-by-Step: Safe Wig Glue Application

1. Scalp Assessment:
   Always check your scalp for cuts, rashes, or irritation before applying glue. If there are any issues, wait until your skin is fully healed.

2. Cleanse the Area:
   Use a gentle antiseptic (like Seabbze) instead of alcohol to clean the application area. This helps prevent irritation and prepares your skin for adhesive.

3. Apply the Adhesive:

   • Use the applicator stick to dab a small amount of glue along the hairline in sections (front, temples, sides).

   • Avoid over-applying—less is more for a natural look and easy removal.

4. Wig Placement:

   • Gently position the wig, starting from the front and working towards the sides.

   • Use a rat tail comb to press the lace into the glue and pull back the hair, hiding the lace line for a seamless finish.

5. Set and Style:

   • Use a blow dryer on alternating cool and warm settings for about 60 seconds to set the glue.

   • Trim any excess lace for a natural look.

How to Remove Wig Glue Safely

Never force or peel off your wig! Instead, gently lift the lace by applying water around the glued areas. The water-soluble glue will dissolve, allowing you to remove the wig without damaging your skin or hair.

Top Dos and Don’ts for Wig Glue
