Lace Wig Adhesive - Tape Or Glue Which Is Better

Positioning a lace front wig takes practice and of course the correct adhesive. Fortunately, there are adhesives on the market specifically designed to hold lace wigs. Adhesive can be divided into two categories: tape adhesive and glue adhesive. The tap adhesive is a double-sided adhesive, stick one side to the skin and the other side to the lace. And the glue adhesive works the same way, but it is applied and left to sit until it sticks. The most important thing to remember is to use contact glue before attaching a lace wig to your scalp.

So, is it better to apply the lace wig with tape or glue? Only you can be sure of the answer to this question because it is really a matter of personal preference because both methods work well. And both have pros and cons.

Pros and cons for tape adhesive

Pros

Easy to install. The time to install the tape is faster than the time to install the glue.

Long service time. The strongest pieces of tape will stay sticky for 4 weeks or longer.

Less damage. They are very light and therefore do little harm to the hair. Also, they are easy to install, so they do not put pressure on the hair and scalp.

Natural appearance. This is undetectable because flat tape attached to the scalp is invisible to the eyes of an onlooker.

Cons

Patience Requirement. 48 hours after you install the tape, you must withstand any physical activity or hair cleaning.

Higher cost. Tape adhesive is not cheap. But on the plus side, the tape lasts about a year, so it's a good investment.


Pros and cons for glue adhesive

Pros

Natural appearance. Glue to the front to make the edges of the lace look more natural and unobtrusive. It helps to keep the lace flat on both sides and hold the inch of lace in place.

Maintenance is convenient. It’s more convenient to maintain than tape if you want to refresh the look.

Easy to remove. The glue adhesive can be removed by remover, alcohol, or water, which is safer.

No edges, no problem. Glue the lace front without the need for thicker edges, braids or even hair. Because glue is a kind of adhesive, people use it to stick lace on the front to achieve a natural look.

Cons

It will take a long time to glue. To present a natural and firm hairline, the glue may be applied more than once and it may take a certain amount of time to set.

May cause allergy. Most are waterproof, but some are based on solvents, while others are based on water. The strongest adhesives can be a bit toxic to some people -- if you're worried about that, it's best to look for a medical-grade adhesive.

It can’t last a long time. The glue can't help you wear a wig for a long time like tape.
