•Prepare Your Scalp:Start with a clean scalp. Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly to remove any oils or residues. Dry your scalp completely.
•Apply Scalp Protector (Optional):If you have sensitive skin or plan to use adhesive, applying a scalp protector can be beneficial. It creates a barrier between your skin and the adhesive, reducing irritation.
•Position the Hair Patch:Place the hair patch on your head to check the fit and position. Make sure it aligns correctly with your natural hairline.
•Trim Excess Lace (if applicable):If your hair patch has lace edges, trim the excess lace carefully using scissors. Leave a small margin of lace to attach to your scalp.
•Apply Adhesive:There are two common types of adhesives: liquid adhesive and adhesive tape.Liquid Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of liquid adhesive to your scalp using a small brush or applicator. Allow it to become tacky (partially dry) before pressing the hair patch onto the adhesive.Adhesive Tape: Cut adhesive tape into small strips or use pre-cut pieces. Apply them along the edges of the hair patch where it will contact your scalp. Remove the protective backing from the tape to expose the adhesive.
•Attach the Hair Patch:Carefully place the hair patch onto your scalp, starting from the front and gently pressing down along the edges. Use a mirror to ensure it’s positioned correctly.
•Blend and Style:Once the hair patch is securely in place, gently style it to blend with your natural hair. You can use a comb or brush to achieve the desired look.
•Maintenance:Follow any specific care instructions provided with your hair patch. Regularly clean and maintain both the patch and your natural hair to keep it looking natural and healthy.
•Removal:When you’re ready to remove the hair patch, gently lift the edges and use adhesive remover or alcohol wipes to dissolve the adhesive. Clean both the hair patch and your scalp thoroughly after removal.
