The Art of the Undetectable: Mastering a Flawless, Long-Lasting Glue-Down
Your Tru Vixxn unit is an investment in your allure. The final step—the install—is what transforms luxury hair into a seamless extension of your seduction. A proper glue-down isn't a quick fix; it's a beauty ritual that ensures your unit stays secure and virtually undetectable for weeks.
Here is the Tru Vixxn masterclass on creating a flawless, long-lasting glue-down.
Step 1: The Non-Negotiable Foundation (Scalp Prep)
You cannot bond an adhesive to oil or debris. This step is the secret to longevity:
-
Cleanse: Gently wash your natural hairline using an astringent or rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad. This strips the skin of all natural oils and makeup residue.
-
Protect: Apply a skin protectant or scalp barrier along the hairline where the glue will sit. This creates a buffer between the adhesive and your skin, preventing irritation and improving adhesion. Let it dry completely.
Step 2: The Precision Application (Less is More)
Avoid the rookie mistake of one thick, messy layer. Multiple thin layers are the professional standard for a rock-solid, undetectable bond.
-
First Coat: Using a small spatula or the back of a makeup brush, apply an extremely thin, even layer of lace wig adhesive only to the skin along your hairline.
-
Wait for Clarity: Let the first layer dry until it turns completely clear and tacky. This takes 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the glue. Never apply the next layer until the first is transparent.
-
Repeat: Apply a second and, if desired, a third thin coat. Always allow each one to dry clear and tacky. The result should feel like sticky plastic wrap on your skin.
Step 3: The Flawless Set
This is the moment of truth that turns your unit into a second scalp.
-
Position: Carefully place your Tru Vixxn unit onto your head, aligning the hairline exactly where you want it.
-
Press and Hold: Starting from the center (your nose), gently press the lace down into the tacky adhesive, working in small sections toward the temples.
-
Melt the Lace: Secure the hairline with a melting band or headscarf for at least 15-20 minutes. This pressure "melts" the lace into the adhesive, creating the seamless, scalp-like finish. Do not get the unit wet for the next 24 hours.
Mastering the glue-down is mastering your presence. With a secure foundation, your Tru Vixxn unit—infused with the science of attraction—is ready to perform.
