Hair loss can affect anyone, from men or women to young and old. Additionally, 80% of women who are 60 years old have thinning hair.
While this hair loss can cause significant problems for a person, from decreased self-esteem to loss of confidence, it can, fortunately, be easily remedied through the use of a hair replacement system.
With the wide selection of varying hair replacement systems and a choice between a custom made or stock pre-made hair system, every person can find the right hair piece or hair loss solution for them.
Once you have made that choice however, you have to ensure that you have the right tapes and adhesives to keep the hair in place!
Hairpiece Tape Contours: Choosing the Right One for You
Fortunately, there are many different types of tapes available today to help you keep your hair piece in place and get a truly natural look and feel. You can easily find tape that matches the contour of your hairpiece base at an affordable price.
You can also get the tape or adhesive you need in the size and width that you need. Depending on the type and shape of your hair piece, the contour of your tape will vary from others, with the most common being:
- Contour A & AA
- Contour B & BB
- Contour C & CC
- Contour D (straight)
While these contours work for many people, they are not necessarily the right fit for every person’s hair piece. In this situation, you may need to choose a straight tape and cut it to the shape and size you need.
Tape Rolls allow you the flexibility of cutting your own length of tape to fit exactly the polyurethane perimeter of your hair piece.
Typically tape rolls are available anywhere from a length of three yards up to a length of 36 yards. They also are most commonly available in ½, ¾, and 1 inch widths, giving you a variety of options to help you choose the one that is the best fit for you.
Hairpiece Bonding Adhesives for Secure Attachment
In addition to using tape to secure a hair system to a person's head, people also have the option of using glue adhesives. Hair bonding glue is an alternative to tape that allows a person to securely glue hair pieces on their head.
At Advent Hair, you can find both perimeter bonding adhesive, available in six different types and which best secures fine mono hair pieces, and full head bonding adhesives, which are used for attaching skin grafts and french lace bases.
If you have been wearing a hair piece for a long time, you likely know exactly what type of tape or adhesive that you need to ensure the best fit for your hair replacement system. If this is the case, Advent Hair makes it extremely easy and affordable to quickly get the tape or adhesive that you need.
However, if you are uncertain what type of tape or adhesive will give you the greatest fit and look, a consultant with years of experience and in-depth knowledge of hair pieces can help guide you to the best type for you.
