CLEANING A HAIR SYSTEM
Lace/Skin Base Materials Bonded with a Water Based Liquid Adhesive
Providing regular care and maintenance for your hair systems is extremely important. Maintaining the hair system regularly will help in maximizing the life of the product while improving the overall experience.
Required Supplies
ADHESIVE AND BASE
Citrus Solvent
Deep Clean
Cotton Towels
Liquid Dish Soap
Conditioner
Optional
This tutorial is meant for Polyurethane (skin) / Mesh Fabric (lace) type base designs that have been bonded using a water based liquid adhesive. The adhesive used in this guide is Ghost Bond by Pro Hair Labs.
STEP #1
REMOVING THE ADHESIVE FROM THE BASE
Wrap a towel around your pointer finger then gently start to remove the adhesive off the base by rolling
the residue towards the outer edges of the hair system. If the adhesive is not coming off with this method then proceed to apply C-22 solvent on the base and try again.
STEP #2
WASHING OFF OILS AND ALL ADHESIVE RESIDUESÂ
Pour a quarter size amount of Dawn dish soap on the base. Gently lather the soap covering the entire surface of the base. This process gets rid of all the oils and other residue build ups.
STEP #3
FINAL WASH BEFORE DRYING
Rinse off the Dawn dish soap with water then proceed to shampoo and condition the hair system
to balance the acid levels. We recommend using Best Hair System’s Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner for this part of the step.
STEP #4
STARTING THE DRYING PROCESS
Rinse off the Dawn dish soap with water then proceed to shampoo and condition the hair system
to balance the acid levels. We recommend using Best Hair System’s Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner for this part of the step.
STEP #5
SOAKING UP WATER WITH A TOWEL
With the system laying flat on the towel proceed to roll the towel with the hair system inside it. Gently squeeze the towel so the water is soaked into the towel as much as possible. Unroll the towel and lay the hair system flat.Â
STEP #6
LET THE HAIR SYSTEM AIR DRY
Now the system has been cleaned, shampooed, conditioned and towel-dried, all that’s left to do is to let the hairpiece air dry. Place it on a mannequin head if one is available.
