Why Switching Up Hairpiece Products in Summer Is Essential

Summer brings the challenge of keeping hairpieces looking pristine and comfortable. Whether hitting the beach or barbecuing in the backyard, maintaining your hairpiece is crucial for a confident appearance.

Much like the change of seasons, our hair care products need to change, too, partly to suit the climate and change of activities with the onset of Summer and partly to prevent your hair and scalp from being immune to the effects of particular products. Another essential factor to consider is your glue or tape adhesive's tackiness, performance, or behaviour in hot or humid climates. You don't want a lifting system in the middle of a perfect beach day, do you?

Luckily, several hairpiece products are designed to protect, preserve, and refresh hairpieces during hot months.

Here’s a rundown of 8 products that you can use during Summer to keep your hairpiece looking dapper, snug and in tip-top shape:

1. Walker's Top Loc Knot Sealer Spray

Say hello to a strong bond with Walker's Top Loc Knot Sealer Spray. Exclusively used on lace units, this product is a must-have for sealing the knots on your lace hairpiece, ensuring each strand stays securely in place. When sprayed on the knot on the base of your hairpieces, his product prevents shedding and helps your hairpiece look fuller while extending its lifespan.

Though the Top Loc Knot Sealer Spray is a wise investment for the summer season, it isn't very helpful for V-loop hair systems.

This product is safe for all skin types. The alcohol-based formula has a low odour, so it can also be used indoors.
