All You Need to Know About Clean-up, Installation, and Removal of a Hair System

Wearing a hair system can be a life-changing experience, especially for people with hair loss. Hair systems come in different types and materials, but they all share one thing: they require proper maintenance to ensure they look clean, healthy, and natural.

Whether you're new to using hair systems or have been wearing them for years, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to know on maintaining and taking care of your hair system.

1. Cleaning Your Hair System
Just like natural hair, hair systems require regular cleaning. It's essential to remove any build-up of oil, sweat, or hair products to ensure your system stays looking its best. First, remove any adhesive residue from the base of your hair system using a specially formulated adhesive remover. Next, gently wash your system using mild shampoo and conditioner, ensuring not to rub too hard. Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry. Avoid using a blow dryer, as high heat can damage the base of your system.

2. Applying Your Hair System
Before applying your hair system, make sure your scalp and the base of your system are both clean and free of any residue. Then, apply your chosen adhesive or tape to the base of your system, making sure to spread evenly. Once the adhesive is applied, carefully align your system with your hairline and press down firmly to secure it. Allow the adhesive to dry for at least 30 minutes before styling your hair.

3. Removing Your Hair System
Removing your hair system can be done gently and without causing any damage. First, use a specially formulated adhesive remover to loosen the adhesive or tape from the base of your system. Once the adhesive is removed, gently pull your system away from your scalp, starting from the front and working backward. Be sure to use a wide-toothed comb or brush to remove any adhesive residue from the base of your system. Clean your system as usual and store it in a safe place.

4. Maintaining Your Hair System
Regular hair system maintenance is vital to keeping it looking and feeling great. Schedule regular appointments with your stylist to ensure your system is properly maintained and any repairs are made promptly. Keep your system clean and avoid exposure to chlorinated water, direct sunlight, and excessive heat. Store your system in a cool, dry place when not in use.

5. Additional Tips and Tricks
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as bleach or alcohol, as they can damage the base of your system.
- Invest in a silk or satin pillowcase to prevent tangling and keep your system looking smooth.
- If you're new to wearing a hair system, practice styling and wearing it at home before wearing it in public to get comfortable and familiar with it.


Maintaining and caring for a hair system may seem daunting at first, but regular cleaning, proper installation, and gentle removal techniques can be a breeze. Remember to schedule regular maintenance appointments with your stylist and practice good habits to keep your system looking and feeling its best.
