DIRECTIONS AND CARE

We advise seeking assistance from a professional for optimal results.

 

Client Consultation

  • Assessment: Evaluate the client's hair type, scalp condition, and preferences.
  • Selection: Discuss the desired look and choose the right toupee or wig, considering color, texture, and size.
  • Skin Test: Before using any adhesives, conduct a patch test on a small area of the client's skin to check for potential allergic reactions.

 

Scalp Preparation

  • Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the client's scalp, removing all oils and residues.
  • Drying and Trimming: Ensure the scalp is completely dry. Trim existing hair in the application area to ensure a flat surface for the toupee.
  • Protecting: Apply a thin layer of DKEIGHT™ Prep Skin Protector to the skin to create a barrier that protects the skin and enhances the adhesive's effectiveness. Allow it to dry completely before applying the adhesive.

 

Fitting and Trimming

  • Fit Check: Place the toupee on the client's head to ensure proper fit. Adjust positioning to align with the client’s natural hairline and contours of the scalp.
  • Custom Trimming: If necessary, trim the base of the unit for a custom fit. This ensures that the toupee blends seamlessly with the client’s existing hair and scalp, providing a natural and comfortable fit.

 

Adhesive Application for Skin Base Units

  • Preparation: Apply DKEIGHT™ Prep Skin Protector to the skin where the unit will be attached to protect and prepare the area for adhesive application.

 

  • Adhesive Application:
    • Skin Base: Apply three thin layers of DKEIGHT™ Hair Replacement Adhesive directly to the skin where the unit is intended to bond. Allow each layer to become clear and tacky before applying the next to ensure a secure and durable bond.
    • Lace Base: Apply at least three thin layers of DKEIGHT™ Hair Replacement Adhesive to the client’s skin, under the lace area. Wait for the adhesive to become clear and tacky before positioning the lace for a stronger hold.

 

Hair Unit Application

  • Positioning and Securing: Carefully place the hair unit starting from the front, aligning with the natural hairline, and work towards the back. Press down gently to secure the bond, making sure there are no air pockets and that the edges are firmly attached.

 

Styling

  • Customization: Once the toupee is securely in place, style it as desired to blend seamlessly with the client's natural hair.

 

Aftercare Tips

  • Maintenance: Wait at least 24 hours before the hair unit gets wet. Regularly check the adhesive and reapply or adjust as necessary using the DKEIGHT™ Hair Adhesive Pen. Be gentle during the application to avoid damaging the hair unit.

 

Removal and Cleaning

  • DKEIGHT™ Hair System Adhesive Remover:
    • Application: Apply the remover along the edges of the hair unit.
    • Removal: Gently lift the edges after a few minutes to ease the unit off the scalp.
  • DKEIGHT™ Adhesive Residue Remover Shampoo:
    • Washing: Soak the hair unit in lukewarm water mixed with the shampoo. Gently agitate to dislodge residue and rinse thoroughly.
    • Drying: Pat dry with a soft towel and allow to air dry on a wig stand.

 

Cleaning DKEIGHT™ Adhesive Applicators

  • Silicone Angle Applicator: Clean off any excess adhesive with a paper towel. For deeper cleaning, apply DKEIGHT™ Adhesive Remover or rubbing alcohol, rinse with warm water, and air dry.
  • Short Bristle Wide Area Applicator: Wipe off excess adhesive, soak in DKEIGHT™ Adhesive Remover if necessary, comb out any particles, rinse under warm water, and air dry.
