There’s nothing worse than getting a new wig you love only to find your wig adhesive isn’t standing up to the task. With lifting and moving, it’s enough to make you scream. Don’t blame thin hair or an oily scalp for all the slipping — it could be your glue’s fault. Once you find the best glue for your skin and wig, you’ll be able to run around in even the hottest and most humid climate and feel confident your faux style is still intact.
Try one of these ultra-hold wig glue options for a tough old that doesn’t irritate your skin. Look for a clear formula that won’t show up along your hairline and won’t mess with the color of your wig. Which one you choose really depends on what type of bottle you feel most comfortable using. A thin, precision-tip squeeze bottle can make applications around your hairline a cinch. A roll-on can be helpful, too, especially if you’re applying the glue in bigger areas.
We’ve rounded up some of the best wig adhesives, one of which even includes glue removal to make your life that much easier. Shop the options below and start planning your next killer faux style.
