Now that you have removed the hair system from the scalp using an adhesive solvent, the time is to detach the hairpiece from the tape
Take note: For some human hair wigs, there is no adhesive required so you can skip this step.
Use your fingernails to gently lift the edge of the tape off your hairpiece, one pro tip for doing this thing is to do it under lukewarm water which makes the process faster and easier
Soak the hair system in a container capable of holding liquid solvents and perform this activity in a well-ventilated area. Soaking times may vary purely depending on the type of hair system and adhesive you’re using when removing tape residue typically, it should only take about five to 10 minutes of soaking time to remove any extra adhesive.
Do this along with While your hair system is soaking, wash your hair, scalp, and entire head thoroughly at least two times with a mild shampoo
Once your hair system is soaked properly, remove your hair system from the solution and keep it inside out in an empty sink (the hair will be on the bottom). The next step is to remove any residue of adhesive. After getting the excess residue off, place your unit back into the container full of solvent for 2 to 3 minutes
Moving your hair system from the solvent back into the sink, add a sufficient amount of dish soap onto the base while it is still wet with solvent. At this point, any remaining adhesive residue will have lost all tack. After brushing, wash your hair system with high-pressure lukewarm water running down through the base
Finally, after rinsing thoroughly, wash the hair system again, this time using a mild shampoo, then use a conditioner. You can use a wide tooth comb when you’re applying shampoo and conditioner through the hair. Your hairpiece should now be clean from any of old adhesive residue. Wipe it with alcohol and leave it to dry on a wig stand or somewhere without any direct sunlight.
Voila! Once you are done doing all the steps successfully, you are now all set to reattach and begin wearing the fresh (like new) system!

The UK isn’t always the sunniest, so ensure your hair system gets its vitamin D boost. Scientific studies link vitamin D deficiency to hair loss. Spend some time outdoors to soak up the natural sunlight or consider vitamin D supplements to keep your hair system and scalp in optimal condition
Hot water: Avoid using excessively hot water while washing your hair system. High temperatures can damage the hair fibers and the base material, leading to premature wear and tear. Opt for lukewarm water to gently cleanse without causing harm
Harsh shampoos: Harsh shampoos containing sulfates and other harsh chemicals. These can take away the hair system of its natural oils, leaving it dry and leading to tangling. Choose a mild, sulfate-free shampoo designed for either synthetic or human hair, depending on your system
Vigorous scrubbing: Resist the urge to scrub your hair system vigorously, indeed. Gentle massaging is sufficient to cleanse without causing unnecessary stress to the hair fibers or the base. Treat your hair system with care to maintain its longevity
Tight pulling: When detangling or combing, avoid pulling or tugging on the hair system. Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the tips, working your way up gradually. Tugging can lead to hair breakage and damage to the base
Overwashing of hair system: While maintaining cleanliness is essential, overwashing can be detrimental. Washing your hair system too frequently can result in premature wear and loss of shine
Using regular towels: Traditional towels can be rough on delicate hair fibers. Avoid rubbing your hair system vigorously with a regular towel, as this can lead to frizz and tangling. Instead, opt for a soft microfiber cloth or gently pat with a towel to absorb excess water
Skipping conditioning: Neglecting the use of a suitable conditioner is a common mistake. Conditioner helps maintain the softness and manageability of the hair system. Choose a conditioner designed for your specific hair type (synthetic or human) to enhance its longevity and appearance
