Lace Wig Tape or another Adhesive? Make the Right Choice

Written by Jeff Waite | Jul 25, 2013 6:58:00 PM

Getting your lace front wig positioned correctly requires time, practice, patience, and the right adhesive. There are many different kinds of lace wig adhesives here at Advent Hair. But we can simply put them into two categories: lace wig tape or glue adhesives. Lace wig tape incorporates double sided tape in order to attach the wig. One sticky part attaches to your skin, and the other attaches to the lace. Glue adhesives work on a similar principle—but they come in a liquid form instead. You need to let the glue set before you can apply the wig. So which is right for you? Lace wig tape or glue?

Each has benefits and drawbacks

If you’re trying to decide whether to use lace wig tape or glue, you should bear in mind that each has benefits and some drawbacks. The adhesive property in lace wig tape and glue is a contact style adhesive. That means that it contains ingredients that need to work properly when in contact with human skin. Durability and dermatologic impact are all factors here. Both the lace wig tape and glue here at Advent Hair are safe and effective.

The best way to decide how your skin will react to the lace wig tape or glue is to do a hand test. When testing the glue, apply a small drop onto your skin in a sensitive area like the inside of your forearm. Let it dry for about a half hour and then remove it. If you notice that the area becomes red and itchy within the next 24 hours, then you are likely allergic to it. This is when you should use lace wig tape. It’s a bit more gentle than the glue.

Lace front wigs are a great addition to any hair regimen. Whether you’re wearing lace wigs to cover some hair loss or to enhance your existing look, you need to make sure you have the right lace wig tape or glue. The choice is easy when you shop with Advent Hair. Let us help you look and feel your best. Our lace wig tape just might be the answer.
