How to Clean a Hair System at Home?

Many wearers believe that hair system maintenance can only be performed by professional salons. However, as long as you have the right tools—such as Walker Tape, True Tape, or C-22 Solvent—cleaning your hair system at home is both easy and highly cost-effective.

Required Materials for At-Home Maintenance

Medical hair system tape (Walker Tape Ultra Hold, No Shine, etc.)
Adhesive remover solvent (e.g. C-22 Citrus Solvent)
99% Isopropyl Alcohol (for degreasing the scalp)
Sulfate-free shampoo & hydrating conditioner
Microfiber towel

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Maintenance

1. System Removal

Spray adhesive remover solvent directly onto the lace front or PU perimeter (where tape is applied). Allow 1-2 minutes for the solvent to dissolve the adhesive bond. Never pull forcefully. The system will naturally detach from the scalp.

2. Removing Tape Residue

After removing the unit, gently roll off remaining tape residue with your fingers. For stubborn adhesive buildup, spray a little more solvent and wait 5 minutes. Avoid using stiff brushes that could damage the lace mesh.

3. Washing & Conditioning

Once the tape is fully removed, wash the hair system with lukewarm water and sulfate-free shampoo. Do not rub in circular motions on the base; stroke gently in one direction. After rinsing, apply conditioner to hair lengths only and towel-dry gently with a microfiber towel.

4. Scalp Prep & Re-bonding

While the unit dries, clean adhesive residue from your scalp and degrease thoroughly using 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Apply new double-sided medical tapes to the dry hair system, align the front hairline accurately, and press firmly from front to back to secure.
