1. Preparation
- Clean your scalp: Before applying the toupee, use an oil-free cleanser to remove any sebum or dirt from the balding area. A clean surface ensures secure adhesion.
- Inspect the toupee: Double-check that the size, base type, and hair length of your Airtoupee match your preferences and needs.
2. Defining the Shaving Area
- Shaving principle: The area of hair loss should be shaved clean to provide a smooth surface for the toupee to adhere to.
- Shaving area size:
- The shaved area should be slightly larger than the base of the toupee. We recommend extending the shaved area by up to 0.5 cm on each side to ensure a stable fit.
- Hairstyle considerations:
- Short hair (≤5 cm): Keep the shaved area just slightly larger than the base—no more than 0.5 cm on each side. This ensures secure adhesion without exposing too much skin.
- Medium to long hair (>5 cm): A shaving area extending 0.5 cm beyond the base is ideal for a smoother and more natural transition.
- Blending the edges: If transitioning to your natural hair, ask your stylist to taper the edges smoothly, avoiding abrupt lines that might look unnatural.
3. Positioning the Hairline
- Reference guideline: The front hairline should typically be positioned four finger-widths (5–7 cm) above the upper edge of your eyebrows for a balanced, natural look.
4. Adhesive Application and Installation
- Test positioning: Gently place the toupee on the shaved area to check alignment with your hairline and scalp. Use a mirror to confirm the placement.
- Apply adhesive: Spread a professional-grade adhesive or double-sided tape evenly over the shaved area.
- Secure the toupee: Carefully align your Airtoupee with the hairline, pressing it down firmly from the front (forehead) to the back. Make sure the edges are flat and secure.
- Trim and style: Once installed, work with your stylist to customize the toupee’s length and layers, ensuring it blends naturally with your existing hair.
5. Final Inspection
- Check adhesion: Test the attachment by gently tugging the toupee to confirm it’s firmly secured.
- Assess natural appearance: Look for a seamless blend at the hairline and edges.
- Aftercare advice: Discuss maintenance tips with your stylist, such as cleaning your Airtoupee and replacing adhesive as needed.
Additional Tips
- For short hairstyles: Focus on blending the shaved area with your natural scalp contour to minimize visible scalp exposure.
- For bangs: Position the hairline slightly forward to enhance the natural effect.
- For smooth hairlines: Thin the front edge of the toupee by gently plucking hairs for a seamless transition with your scalp.
