One of our most popular preparation products for attaching a hair system are scalp protection products, so-called “ scalp protectors ”. They are a great prep product that every hair wearer should have in their home. If you're unfamiliar with scalp protection products, here's a quick overview of what they are and what they can do.
What are scalp protectants?
First of all, let's clarify what scalp protectants are. They are prep products that do exactly what they say: protect the scalp and help the glue or tape on it last longer.
It's not uncommon for skin glue to cause irritation in some people. While this irritation is often not serious, it is annoying to deal with when it occurs. A Scalp protector is designed to protect the skin from irritation caused by the adhesive without compromising the hold of the skin adhesive.
Scalp protection products not only prevent the adhesive's hold from sagging, but they are also designed to help increase the hold of the skin's adhesive. Because of this, stylists often use them on all of their clients and not just those with sensitive skin. A Scalp protector increases the hold by protecting the adhesive from daily influences. This includes things like:
• Natural oil produced by the skin
• High humidity
• Sweat
Since the scalp shield forms a barrier between the adhesive and the skin, the adhesive is not as quickly weakened by these factors.

Each product has its own advantages. In order to find the right scalp protection for you, you need to consider several factors. You need to ask yourself questions like:
• How active am I?
• How sensitive is my skin?
• Is it humid where I live?
• Is my scalp oilier than others?
• Do I spend a lot of time in saunas or swimming pools?
Once you've answered these questions for yourself and decided on a scalp protectant, the rest is easy.
How do you use scalp protectants?
First, make sure the area where you want to apply the scalp protectant is completely clean and free of oils or any other substance that may affect its hold. This includes preparing the area where you plan to apply the tape or liquid glue with 99% alcohol.
Once the site is prepared, wear the Scalp protector of your choice on the spot. Be careful to avoid irritated areas or open sores. Allow the area to dry before attaching the hair system.
Once the scalp protectant has dried you can attach the hair system to it using the tape or skin glue already attached. Keep in mind that with scalp protectants, the skin glue attaches fairly quickly.
