How to Remove Toupee Glue Quickly and Safely

Removing toupee glue can be a daunting task if not done correctly. At Bono Hair, we understand the importance of keeping your hairpiece in top condition while ensuring your scalp remains healthy and comfortable. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to remove toupee glue quickly and safely.

1. Gather Your Supplies

Before you start the process, make sure you have the necessary supplies:

• Adhesive remover
• Soft cloths or cotton pads
• Mild shampoo
• Conditioner
• Warm water
• Comb
• Towel

2. Choose the Right Adhesive Remover

Selecting the right adhesive remover is crucial. There are many types available, including alcohol-based, oil-based, and citrus-based removers. Each type has its own benefits:

• Alcohol-based removers are quick and effective but can be drying to the skin.
• Oil-based removers are gentle and moisturizing but might take a bit longer to work.
• Citrus-based removers strike a balance between effectiveness and gentleness.

3. Apply the Adhesive Remover

Spray or dab the adhesive remover onto the glued area. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to break down the glue. The waiting time can vary depending on the strength of the glue and the type of remover used. Typically, 5–10 minutes is sufficient.

4. Gently Remove the Toupee

Once the adhesive has softened, gently lift the edges of the toupee. Avoid pulling too hard to prevent damage to both the hairpiece and your natural hair. Use a comb to help lift the toupee and ensure all areas are free of adhesive before completely removing it.

5. Clean the Scalp

After removing the toupee, clean your scalp thoroughly:

1. Apply more adhesive remover if necessary to dissolve any remaining glue.
2. Use a soft cloth or cotton pad to wipe away the residue.
3. Wash your scalp with a mild shampoo to remove any lingering adhesive remover.

6. Clean the Toupee

To keep your toupee in good condition:

1. Apply adhesive remover to any glue residue on the base of the toupee.
2. Let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Gently rub the area with a cloth to remove the adhesive.
4. Wash the toupee with a mild shampoo and condition it to maintain softness and shine.

7. Dry and Store the Toupee

After cleaning, gently pat the toupee dry with a towel. Avoid wringing or twisting the hairpiece. Allow it to air dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

8. Tips for Regular Maintenance

• Regularly clean your toupee and scalp to prevent buildup of adhesive and oils.
• Use products specifically designed for hairpieces to avoid damage.
• Handle your toupee with care, especially when removing and applying adhesive.
