Listen to the full textStarting with a men's hair system can be exciting, but we know it comes with obstacles. You're not just choosing a hair system for a new style, but also learning a new routine. Keeping your hair system in perfect condition is an ongoing maintenance process, and that begins by having the right tools for daily care. You may ask yourself, "What do I actually need?" That is a common question for beginners.
This guide will help you clear this confusion. We will simplify things for you by breaking down the essential hair system accessories, explaining what they do, and helping you build a foundation for effortless care, natural look, and long-term confidence.
Understanding Your Hair System Journey
Choosing the right hair system accessories is easier when you know the steps that they are used for. These are the key steps to give you an idea of what the entire process involves.
Preparation: First Step to Success
This is the most important step to safe holding and long-time wear. You need to clean your scalp to remove the natural oil and sweat. When you handle a system you previously used, you also need to wash its base or apply a special solvent to remove adhesive residue. If it is a new hair system, you don't need to do this since the hair system base is clean and fresh. Proper preparation is what will keep everything in place throughout the day.
Application: Securing Your Confidence
This is the step to place your system in position. You aim to achieve a comfortable, secure fit with a natural look. Put the hair system adhesive (tape or glue) on the hair system base or scalp. Then, put the system in position gently, starting from the front hairline and moving back, pushing it carefully in position.

Styling: Making It Uniquely Yours
It's possible to style a hair system on your own. But for new wearers of hair systems, we recommend visiting a professional stylist for the first time. They have experience blending the hair system with your natural hair and can style it right to match your face shape. A stylist can instantly give you a flawless appearance and provide expert advice that prevents you from making mistakes that are difficult to correct. After your first time styling with an expert, your daily styling can be easier and more convenient.
Lordhair provides haircut services for our hair system products. You can choose a desired hairstyle at the time of order placement, and the hair system is ready to wear upon arrival. Please note that orders requiring hair-cutting service typically take an additional 5-7 working days.
Daily Care: Keeping It Looking Its Best
Daily hair system maintenance is what keeps your hairpiece in its best condition and extends its lifespan. You can gently brush the hair to detangle it regularly, and use a light conditioning spray to keep the hair soft and healthy-looking. This quick routine keeps your appearance fresh and natural-looking between washes and protects your hair system for a longer lifespan.
Removal & Reapplication: A Fresh Start
It's recommended to clean your hair system every 2-3 weeks. You can either use a solvent, or olive oil/coconut oil if your scalp is sensitive, to remove the hairpiece from your scalp. And then give your scalp and hairpiece a deep cleaning. This keeps your skin healthy and the hair system fresh, and it is ready whenever you want to wear it again.

What Hair System Accessories Do You Need?
Almost every step of your hair system journey is made easier with the right tool. When you measure your scalp to choose a suitable hair system base size, you need a measuring tape; when you apply a hair system to your scalp, you need hair system adhesive; when you try to remove the hair system adhesive, you need solvent...
Here is a quick checklist of the essential hair system accessories you will need throughout the entire process.
- Measuring Tape: A soft measuring tape helps you accurately measure your head so you can order a hair system base that matches your size exactly. A good fit is the foundation of a natural look.
- Marking Pencil: This special pencil is used to mark where your hairline will be on your scalp or to make small notes on the base of the hair piece itself. It helps you apply your hair system in the exact same position every time, and it washes off easily.
- Hair System Tape/Glue: This is what holds your system in place. Tape is a great option for beginners since it's easy to use. Glue provides a longer hold with an invisible appearance. Beginners can start with tape and experiment with glue later.
- Solvent: Solvent is a gentle liquid to dissolve the hair system tape or glue so that you can easily and safely remove your system without pulling or damaging it. It's essential to use it for cleanup.
- Cotton Pads: Cotton pads are soft to the skin but strong enough to hold various scalp care needs. They are ideal for removing adhesives and can quickly break down and remove adhesive residue for easy and effective cleaning.
- Dispensing Brush: The dispensing brush is used to apply hair system glue. It prevents excessive usage of glue and provides a smooth, invisible hold. It is a versatile tool that can be used for various hair system maintenance needs, such as applying cream or gel.
- Tail Comb: Tail comb is specially designed for hair replacement systems. The pointed tip helps you separate your hair and section precise parts on a hairpiece. The comb teeth are smooth and fine, so they will not damage the delicate base of a hair system. The design of the tail comb protects the base material while enabling you to detangle your hair with ease.
- Hair System Stand: A hair system stand is used to display and store your hair system. It prevents tangles and damage to the hair system when you are not using it. It's an excellent method to keep your hair system in its best condition and get it ready to wear whenever you need.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
Now you know the accessories, it's time to learn how to use them like a pro. All professionals started as beginners, and knowing what not to do is just as important as understanding what to do. These are the most common mistakes to avoid for a smoother and more confident beginning.
Using Too Much Adhesive
It is easy to think that more glue will provide a stronger hold, but this is not true. Too much adhesive can cause oozing, visible residue, and difficult cleanup. Excess glue can also make the system feel heavier and reduce breathability. For the best performance, always apply a thin, even layer. When using hair system adhesive, remember, less is more.
Pull Your System Off Without Solvent
This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Trying to peel off your hair system without solvent can tear the delicate base and pull your own hair. It can also be painful.
Always begin by applying a few drops of solvent first. It gently loosens the glue, making removal safe, comfortable, and protecting your system from damage.
Applying Adhesive to a Dirty Surface
For the hair system adhesive to last longer, it requires a clean surface. If your scalp has oil, sweat, or leftover adhesive, the tape or glue will not hold. That's why hair systems sometimes slip or loosen. To prevent this, always clean your scalp and let it dry completely before applying your hair system. This simple step is the secret to all-day security.
Using Cotton Pads That Leave Lint
Not all cotton pads are the same. Some lower-quality pads can leave behind tiny bits of lint on the base of your system. This lint can get stuck in the adhesive and create bumps; as a result, the bond becomes less smooth and secure. Use high-quality, lint-free cotton pads for a perfectly clean application every time.
Storing the System Improperly
When you're not wearing your hair system, it's important to store it correctly. Don't just leave it lying on a counter or in direct sunlight. It can cause tangling, drying, or damage to the base and hair. Always store your system on a stand in a cool, dry place. This maintains its shape and prevents tangling until you want to wear it again.

See What Real Users' Say About Lordhair Hair Systems
What's the real difference between tape and glue? Which one is better for me?
It's about personal preference and comfort level. Tape is easier for beginners to apply and remove, and it's a good choice for active people or those who have sensitive skin. Glue offers a stronger hold and an invisible look. Many beginners start with tape to practice and then experiment with glue afterwards.
Will the adhesive damage my natural hair or scalp?
When used correctly, high-quality adhesives are safe. The key is proper removal with solvent, never pulling or peeling it off. It is recommended to do a patch test before your first full application to check for any skin sensitivity.
How do I know when it's time to replace my tools?
You will know when you must replace your solvent when the bottles are running low. For tape and glue, when you notice the hold is not as good as it used to be, you might need a fresh package. Combs and brushes should be replaced if they become damaged or dirty.
What is special about the "tail comb"? Can I use a regular comb instead?
Its long, pointed "tail" is its hidden strength. You use the tail to separate and section the hair without disturbing the style. The comb teeth are smooth, so they will not damage the delicate base of a hair system. The design of the tail comb protects the base material while enabling you to detangle your hair with ease.
Do I really need a hair system stand? Can't I just put it on the counter?
You can, but we highly recommend using a stand. Placing your hair system on a flat surface can lead to tangling and make it difficult to work on. A hair system stand can keep the hairpiece in shape, and you can style or apply adhesive evenly and effectively on it. It's a small tool that makes a big difference in ease of use.
