Best Wig Products for Sensitive Skin

Best wig products for sensitive skin.

 

Struggling to find hair system adhesives and products that don’t cause you irritation? Items that don’t cause you break out in itching? It’s a tedious process – trying to sort through mounds of products, having to test some that cause breakout, etc.

 

When it comes to sensitive-skin adhesives, there are two primary factors: the gentleness of the adhesive and its flexibility. Some adhesives help with sensitive skin by being hypoallergenic and skin safe. Others help by being flexible, allowing the scalp to move and not stretch & tear.

 

But how do you choose?

 

That’s where Walker Tape® comes to play! While we offer many more sensitive skin products for clients with sensitive skin, here are just a few we wanted to highlight, along with some tips to prevent irritation.

 

Sensi-Tak Select

Loved by wearers and stylists, Sensi-Tak Select is designed specifically for sensitive skin and poly systems. Sensi-Tak Select is a low residue, Extended Wear tape (1-10 days).

 

Pro-Flex II

If you’re looking for the ideal maximum wear tape, look no further than Pro-Flex II. Pro-Flex II holds up to 4+ weeks, along with being both hypoallergenic & medical grade safe for skin.

 

Safe Grip

One of our two water-based adhesives, Safe Grip is a gentle, skin-safe, and secure extended wear liquid adhesive. Safe-Grip is both waterproof and non-toxic, providing a great experience for sensitive skin.

 

Great White

Our second water-based adhesive, & the best of both worlds, Great White holds long and is gentle on Great White is built with maximum wear, non-toxicity, waterproof, and comfortability, and is – pun intended – “great” for clients with sensitive skin.

 

Walker Signature Remover

Designed with medical-grade gentleness, Walker Signature Remover is our remover for clients with sensitive skin. It provides a fast removal speed and an easy cleanup of the scalp. It’s also organic!

 

S3 Sensitive Skin

Designed with sensitive skin clients in mind, S3 Sensitive Skin Solvent is made with an oil base that works to get the job done without irritation. Another ideal remover for wearers.

 

Scalp Protector

Scalp Protector aids to shield and protect the scalp from potential irritation from sweat, oils, adhesive, etc. They also help to boost adhesive hold times by providing a clear & clean surface for the adhesive to stick to.

 

 

Tip: Perform a Patch Test

 

Even if a client doesn’t have sensitive skin, it always helps (and is recommended!) to perform a patch test with any adhesive or product.

 

To perform a patch test, simply place a small amount of the product you want to use on an inconspicuous part of the skin. Cover with a patch (hence the name) and let sit for 24 hours. If there is any sign of reaction – irritation, redness, etc. – then that product should not be used. But if it’s all clear, then that product will be safe to use!
