Scalp Preparation Before Attaching A Hair System: 

Not only is it essential for you to keep your hair system maintained but it is also necessary to follow proper methods of preparing your scalp whenever you attach a hair system.

• -Prior to attaching the hair system, make sure to wash your scalp every time 
• -Once you wash your scalp, swipe rubbing alcohol to your scalp if you are using tape to attach the system. If you have an oily scalp, then you should not try alcohol as it can initiate excessive oil production that may hinder the adhesive from adhering to your scalp. 
• -If you are using liquid adhesive to attach your Poly hair system, then clean your scalp thoroughly following the procedure mentioned above and prepare your scalp for extended wear. 
• -Once you clean your scalp, ensure to apply scalp protection products especially if your scalp perspires a lot or if you have sensitive skin. 

Attachment Options For A Hair System

Although there can be a myriad of arrangements for a hair system, here are some tried and tested methods to use your poly hair systems daily; 

• -Attach the perimeter with tape or apply the liquid adhesive on the tape; or
• -Use the front of the hair system to attach the tape and clips to attach the sides with the growing hair; 
• or
• -Attach clips to the whole hair system and attach clip with the growing hair (no adhesive bonding required) 

For those who wear full caps where there’s no growing hair underneath;

Cleaning of your hair system 

• -No matter if you’re wearing your hair system daily or for an extended period, it is essential that you stick to proper cleaning methods. It will not only help enhance the life of your hair system but also prevent adhesive buildup. Once adhesive begins building up on your hair system, it will damage your hairpiece. Plus, it gets more difficult with time to remove it. Proper cleaning will allow you to have a secure attachment every time and help prolong its life.
