Essential products to be self-sufficient

If you want to maintain or put on your hair prosthesis yourself, it's important to get the right equipment and understand that these steps require precision and a good knowledge of maintenance techniques.

We don't recommend doing a full install of a new hair system or monthly maintenance on your own. These steps are tricky and require the know-how of a hair prosthetist trained in cutting, placement, and fixing techniques.

For monthly maintenance

If you remove your hair system to clean and reattach it, here’s a list of essentials you’ll need:

  • Hair adhesive: to make sure your hair system stays put after you reposition it.

  • Applicator brush: to spread the adhesive evenly.

  • Skin prep (optional): recommended if your skin is oily or you sweat a lot.

  • Adhesive remover: to take off your hair system and get rid of glue leftovers.

  • Shampoo and conditioner: to clean and care for the hair.

    You can use your usual products if they’re super moisturizing, or try products specially made for hair systems, available on our website.

For a full application (new prosthesis)

Applying a new prosthesis needs more supplies and skill:

  • Hair glue

  • Applicator brush

  • Skin prep (if your skin is oily or sweats easily)

  • Hair solvent

  • Suitable shampoo and care

  • Precision scalpel: to cut the membrane according to your measurements.

  • Mold: essential to adjust the prosthesis to the exact shape of your scalp.

Cutting the membrane is a delicate step that needs precise movements and some technical skill. We don't recommend doing this by yourself. A wrong cut can make the prosthesis unusable. For the best and longest-lasting result, let a hair prosthesis pro do the job.

For a front touch-up

If you just want to refresh the adhesion on your front hairline:

  • Hair glue – touch-up format

  • Precision brush

  • Holding clips: to hold the hairline in place during application and drying.

Good to know

Even though some users prefer to do their own maintenance, we'd like to remind you that the different application and maintenance steps are technical.
