Liquid adhesives (also known as bonding adhesives) are popular ways to attach hair systems for both daily and extended wear.
There are two main types of bonding adhesives: solvent-based and water-based.
Solvent based liquid adhesives are currently the more popular of the two and offer more brand-name choices than water based. In general, they also provide more hold than water based hairpiece adhesives and allow for a longer wear time, The easiest way to identify a solvent liquid toupee adhesive is by its color, which will always be clear. Examples included Ultra Hold, Secure, etc.
Water based hairpiece adhesives on the other hand are white, but turn clear when they are completely dry. This makes water based a little easier to work with because you can tell when it’s dry – though it does take longer to dry than solvent-based adhesives. Examples included Dermax, Safegrip, etc. Despite the fact that water based liquid toupee adhesives are less popular and offer less whole time. We recommend it for people with sensitive skin and anyone who has had an allergic reaction to stronger solvent based.
Whether you're a solvent-based or a water-based hair wearer, two of the most essential things you need to realize is that the adhesive must be dry before you attach the unit. Get all the details about drying through our online drying chart. It's also important to understand how much to use so you minimize the "seep-through" and long clean up time.
