Product Spotlight: No-Shine™ tape.
In this blog, we at Walker Tape® are putting the product spotlight on one of our more popular adhesive tapes: No-Shine™ tape!
What is No-Shine™?
No-Shine™ tape is one of Walker Tape®’s most popular maximum wear tapes for both a secure & strong hold and a nearly invisible look under the system.
No-Shine™ offers the most dull, nearly invisible look under hair systems for wearers (hence the name “No-Shine”!). It’s also built with a hypoallergenic, skin safe gentleness that is great for regular wearers and wearers with sensitive skin.
Made with comfort, security, and confidence, No-Shine tape is a fan-favorite and one of our more popular products for a reason.
What Makes No-Shine™ Great?
There are a variety of reasons why No-Shine tape is great, and why it’s one of our more popular adhesives, such as:
- Nearly Invisible – No Shine™ Tape is built to be nearly invisible under hair systems, helping create a more natural look.
- Strong Maximum Wear Hold – No-Shine tape has a hold time of up to 4+ weeks, making it a great option for those who want maximum wear.
- Comfortable and Hypoallergenic: No-Shine is designed with hypoallergenic, medical-grade gentleness for a comfortable irritation-free wear experience.
How to Achieve the Best Bond w/ No-Shine Tape
To maximize and achieve the full potential of No-Shine tape, be sure to:
- Perform a patch test. Be sure that No-Shine tape is going to be the solution for your client.
- Clean both the scalp and system before installation. A clean surface will allow for a more complete hold for No-Shine.
