How Long does a full lace wigs Stay On?

Although wearing a full lace wig can help keep a nice looking, However, long time wearing is not healthy for our poor original hair. So how long does a full lace wig stay on our head?

How long the wig stays on your head depends on the adhesive you use and how it interacts with your skin. There are many different types and brands of adhesives out there and more are being created or being found to be used for this technique, everyday!  Some of the popular names are Blue Liner Tape; a double sided tape cut into strips to be lined at the hairline of the wig itself and bonded to your skin (vice versa) and Ultra Hold; a very strong adhesive, but can be very difficult to use for beginners because of its very stringy mixture.  Other popular names are Spirit Gum; a theatrical makeup adhesive used in stageplays and movies and Safe Grip; an adhesive most like Elmers School Glue, with its pasty effect.  There are many more adhesives, we only name a few.  Each adhesive differs as far as its hold time, its strength, and its effect on your skin.  So actually there is no real way of a seller judging which adhesive will work best for you.  No one adhesive is a work for all because there are too many things that may come into play with each.  To avoid an issue with adhesives, it is best that you purchase an adhesive package which is a combination of 2 or more different adhesives so that you have options and are not stuck with only one option.  Either way, what needs to be kept in mind when wearing these full lace wigs losing adhesives, the focus does not necessarily have to be on the hold time per say because it is wise to have a removal schedule where you remove your wig, clean your scalp, and reapply.  This should have every week to week and a half at the least.  This is to keep your own hair and scalp properly cleaned.

For most adhesives, you get a better hold by allowing the adhesive to dry first, then bonding the lace into the adhesive.  This could mean when the adhesive has turned clear or is tacky depending on the choice of adhesive.  Usually the most difficult place to keep a good hold is at the nape of the neck.  This is becuase this is where most of the hairs oils tend to clog and will result in the loosening of the adhesives bond, ending in the lifting of the lace.  This forseen problem may call for the use of 'adhesive combinations'.  Using a combinations of adhesives will not only give you a longer hold, but a stronger hold as well.  This is needed because it is not unusual for one to have to 'touch up' their adhesive application from time to time, even with some of the best applications.
