How to Attach a Toupee Without Poly

Try a toupee for a different look.

Toupees are an alternative to costly hair treatments and permanent surgery. The commonly used polyfuse method for attaching toupees can irritate your scalp easily. Attaching a toupee without polyfuse can be done with inexpensive, yet effective hairpiece tape. Using hairpiece tape allows you easily to remove the toupee and avoid any scalp irritations.

Things You'll Need

• Toupee tape
• Scissors
• Scalp spray
• Spray conditioner

Instructions

1. Style the toupee.

2. Take the hair tape and adhere one side of the tape to the underside of the toupee. Use 1-inch pieces of tape to line the outer perimeter of the toupee.

3. Firmly press the tape down so the tape stays in place and has bonded to the toupee.

4. Peel off the other side of the tape to expose the adhesive. This side will be applied to your scalp.

5. Spray the bald area with a few squirts of an alcohol-based scalp moisturizer. This will allow you to shift the toupee around before it sets on your scalp.

6. Firmly press the toupee in place on your head. Apply pressure to every piece of tape around the perimeter so it adheres correctly.

7. Brush the toupee if necessary by first applying a leave in spray conditioner. This will ease the movement of a brush or comb through the hair without displacing the toupee.
