Sticking to style, here’s why new-age glueless wigs are the ‘in thing’

While glue installed wigs may be trendy, they are certainly not for everyone so if you are looking for a quick fix but still want to maintain the elegant look, the re-worked glue-less lace wigs may be for you.

So, out with the old and in with the new.

IOL spoke to a number of women who have shared their sentiments when it comes to why they prefer glue-less wigs and there’s a number of reasons why.

Ease of use

Traditional glued wigs require great attention to detail when installing, the application of adhesive glue and the lengthy drying times can be both inconvenient and messy.

Glue-less wigs, on the other hand, are designed for quick, straightforward application and removal, making them ideal for busy lifestyles or for those who frequently change their hairstyles.

Comfort

Comfort is another key factor. Glued wigs can sometimes cause discomfort or irritation on the scalp, especially with extended wear.

Some people may even be allergic to the glue depending on the skin type. They often require additional products, such as adhesive removers, which can be harsh on the skin and lead to further scalp sensitivity.

The glue-less option eliminates such issues by using adjustable straps, combs, or bands that secure the wig without the need for adhesives, resulting in a more comfortable wearing experience.

Convenience

Moreover, glue-less wigs are easier on natural hair and scalp health. Prolonged use of adhesive can weaken hair follicles or cause damage to the scalp which can eat up your hairline.

By opting for glue-less alternatives, women can avoid these potential issues and maintain healthier hair and scalp.

Versatility

Lastly, glue-less wigs offer greater versatility. Wearers can quickly switch between different wig styles and colours without the hassle of adhesive residue which needs extensive cleaning.

These factors are what make glue-less wigs a practical choice for those who enjoy less admin while maintaining the trendy look.
