Different Ways to Attach a Custom Hair System

If you are thinking about getting a custom hair system, you need to decide how it will stay on your head. The right way to attach it will make sure it looks real, feels comfy, and stays in place. Here are some ways you can attach a hair system.


1. Tape

Tape is a popular and easy way to keep a hair system in place.

  • Good things: Simple to use, gentle on skin, and easy to take off.

  • Not-so-good things: Needs to be changed every few days.

  • Best for: People who want a quick and easy way to wear their hair system.

2. Glue

Glue (also called liquid adhesive) keeps hair systems on for a long time.

  • Good things: Holds very well, great for active people.

  • Not-so-good things: Can be tricky to apply, and some glue may bother sensitive skin.

  • Best for: People who want a strong hold and don’t mind a little extra work.

3. Clips

Clips let you take your hair system on and off easily.

  • Good things: Simple to use, reusable, no glue needed.

  • Not-so-good things: Not as strong as other methods, can pull on natural hair.

  • Best for: People who want to remove their hair system every day.

4. Sewing

Sewing means attaching the hair system by sewing it into small braids.

  • Good things: Stays on well and lasts a long time.

  • Not-so-good things: Can pull on your natural hair, needs a professional to do it.

  • Best for: People with enough natural hair to make braids.

5. Beads

Beads (or micro links) attach the hair system to your own hair with small loops.

  • Good things: No glue or tape needed, looks natural.

  • Not-so-good things: Can pull on hair if not put in correctly.

  • Best for: People with enough natural hair for the beads to hold onto.


Picking the Best Way

Think about your daily activities, how sensitive your skin is, and how much work you want to do to keep your hair system in place. If you move a lot, glue might work best. If you want something simple, clips or tape might be better.
