💁🏾♀️ Why Your Skin Reacts to Wig Glue
Many wig adhesives are packed with alcohols and harsh chemicals that can dry or inflame sensitive skin.
When used without protection, they clog pores, trap sweat, and cause redness or small bumps along the hairline.
But that doesn’t mean you have to skip glue entirely — you just need a sensitive-skin-safe routine that shields, soothes, and still delivers a melt-proof hold.
🧴 Step 1: Clean — But Be Gentle
Start with a clean base, but ditch the harsh cleansers.
Use fragrance-free micellar water or witch-hazel wipes to remove oil and dirt from your forehead.
Avoid high-alcohol wipes that strip your skin’s natural barrier.
💡 Pro Tip: If you have eczema-prone or reactive skin, use a cotton pad instead of direct rubbing to avoid friction burns.
🛡️ Step 2: Create a Barrier With Skin Protect
This step changes everything for sensitive skin.
PK’s Skin Protect forms a breathable shield that locks out bacteria, sweat, and adhesive contact — while tightening pores for better glue grip.
How to use it:
-
Spray Skin Protect evenly across your hairline.
-
Let it dry completely (about 30–60 seconds).
-
For very sensitive skin, apply a second light layer for extra defense.
Your skin is now primed — clean, protected, and ready for adhesive.
💧 Step 3: Use a Hypoallergenic Adhesive in Thin Layers
Switch to Hold Me Down Lace Glue, PK’s latex-free, odor-free, gentle-bond formula.
Unlike typical glues, it’s designed for sensitive and oily skin — so you still get that 2-to-4-week hold without irritation.
Apply 2–3 thin layers:
-
Wait until each layer turns clear and tacky before adding the next.
-
Keep a cool air setting on your dryer for even drying.
-
Press the lace down firmly once the final layer is clear.
⚠️ Avoid thick layers — they trap moisture and can cause itchiness later.
🌬️ Step 4: Set and Cure Without Heat Damage
Wrap your edges with a silk band or PK’s Love Band for 15–20 minutes to melt the lace gently.
Avoid direct heat or hot air — warm air can trigger inflammation on sensitive skin.
Once the lace sets, you’ll get that clean, invisible finish without redness or burning.
🌿 Step 5: Soothe and Hydrate Daily
After installation, keep your scalp hydrated and balanced.
Mist Reviver Sheen Mist lightly over your hairline and edges each day.
Its soothing botanical extracts reduce tightness and irritation without affecting the glue’s hold.
For extra comfort, use a cotton pad with aloe vera or rose water if your skin feels dry.
💆🏾♀️ Step 6: Remove Gently — Never Peel or Tug
Sensitive skin requires careful removal.
-
Spray Lace Remover evenly along your hairline.
-
Let it sit for 60–90 seconds to soften the bond.
-
Lift the lace gently from the corners — no force needed.
-
Cleanse the area with Goo Be Gone Shampoo to remove residue and refresh your skin.
Always follow up with a light moisturizer before re-installing.
💬 Common Mistakes That Irritate Sensitive Skin
-
Skipping Skin Protect before glue.
-
Using alcohol-heavy removers or acetone.
-
Applying glue on broken or irritated skin.
-
Re-installing too soon without letting skin breathe.
Give your skin a 24-hour rest between installs to prevent inflammation.
