How To Keep It All Locked In.


A natural-looking hair system starts with a great fit—and a big part of that is the adhesive. If you’re new to the world of toupee adhesives, or just wondering what the best hair glue for hair systems really is, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re swimming, sweating, or simply living life, your hair system needs to stay secure. So let’s break down what the pros actually use to keep everything locked in.


Toupee Adhesives: Tapes vs. Glues


There are two main types of adhesives used in hair systems: tape and liquid glue. Both work well, but your lifestyle, skin type, and hair system material will determine which is best for you.


Tapes


Hair system tapes are double-sided adhesives that offer a clean, quick application. They come in different levels of tackiness, shine, and hold duration.
Best for: Short-term wear (1–10 days), sensitive skin, easy cleanup.


Liquid Glues for Hair Systems


Liquid adhesives offer a stronger, longer-lasting bond—ideal for extended wear and more active lifestyles.
Best for: Long-term wear (2–4 weeks), skin base systems, water/sweat exposure.



How Long Does a Toupee Adhesive Last?

Bonding duration depends on your skin chemistry, activity level, and climate.
Here’s a general idea:

  • Tape: 3–10 days
  • Glue: 2–4 weeks

In humid climates like Phoenix, sweat-resistant and waterproof adhesives are key.


Which Hair System Adhesive Is Right for You?


  • Active lifestyle? Opt for sweat-proof glue like Ghost Bond Sport.
  • Want easy removal? Go with tape for quick, clean changes.
  • Have sensitive skin? Look for medical-grade hypoallergenic formulas.
  • Need a super-strong hold? Combine glue and tape (yes, pros do this!).


Your stylist at National Hair Centers will help determine the right adhesive for your needs—and apply it professionally to ensure a clean, strong, invisible hold.


Keep Your Confidence Secure


No one wants to think about their hair system slipping or lifting mid-day. That’s why choosing the best toupee adhesive isn’t just about stickiness—it’s about lifestyle, reliability, and trust.
