Wig Double Sided Tape
Wig double sided tape is an adhesive product specifically designed for securing wigs, hair extensions, and hairpieces. It provides a temporary hold, allowing for application and removal without causing significant damage to natural hair or the wig cap.
Material:
The tape typically consists of a non-woven fabric base coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- Base Material: Commonly made of polypropylene or polyester, offering flexibility and breathability.
- Adhesive: Acrylic-based adhesives are prevalent due to their strong hold, hypoallergenic properties (for most users), and residue minimization. Some tapes utilize silicone adhesives, known for gentler removal, but may have a lower holding power. Medical-grade adhesives are also available for sensitive scalps.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of wig double sided tape is to create a secure attachment between the wig and the skin or wig cap, providing a natural-looking hairline and preventing slippage. It is often used in conjunction with other adhesives like wig glue for enhanced security.
Function:
The tape functions by creating a strong bond between the wig's lace front or monofilament top and the application surface. The pressure-sensitive adhesive activates upon contact, forming a temporary connection.
Usage Scenarios:
- Lace Front Wigs: Securing the lace front hairline for a realistic appearance.
- Full Lace Wigs: Attaching the entire perimeter of the wig.
- Hair Extensions: Applying wefts or individual strands to natural hair.
- Hairpieces/Toupees: Securing hairpieces for individuals experiencing hair loss.
- Cosplay: Attaching wigs and hair accessories for costume events.
- Short-Term Wear: Ideal for events, photoshoots, or situations where a long-term adhesive solution is not desired.
Common Types:
- Clear Tape: Most common, blends with skin tones and wig lace. Available in various widths.
- Blue Tape: Often used for hair extensions; provides a strong hold.
- Pink Tape: Designed for sensitive skin, generally hypoallergenic.
- Silicone Tape: Gentler on the scalp, easier to remove, but may have a weaker hold.
- Double-Sided Tape Rolls: Available in different lengths for customized application.
- Pre-Cut Tape Strips: Convenient for precise application along the hairline.
- Tape Bridges: Used to connect tape-in extensions.
- Waterproof Tape: Designed for use in humid conditions or with frequent washing.
