Haarkleber-Entferner: So bekommen Sie Perücken- und Haarsystem-Kleber aus den Haaren

A hair glue remover is the easiest way to get wig or hair system glue out of your hair and off your scalp without pulling. Because adhesives and tape are built to hold for days or weeks, water alone won’t wash them out. This guide breaks down which products dissolve the glue, how to take off a bonded piece step by step, ways to get dried glue out of your own hair, and mistakes to avoid.

What dissolves wig and hair system glue?

• A dedicated hair system and wig adhesive remover. This is the safest and quickest option because it is made to break down these adhesives. Our spray solvent adhesive remover comes in a 4 oz (118 ml) spray bottle.
• Household oils. Coconut, olive, or baby oil can soften small amounts of leftover stickiness in your natural hair. They take longer to work and leave your hair feeling greasy, so you’ll need to wash it well afterward.
• Warm water and a clarifying shampoo. Once you get the bulk of the glue out, this combination helps lift any remaining residue.

Always follow the instructions on your remover and do a patch test on a small area of skin first.

How to remove a bonded hair system or wig

1. Apply remover along the edge where the hairpiece is attached. Work in small sections at a time.
2. Wait the amount of time stated in the instructions to let the adhesive soften.
3. Lift the edge carefully, adding more remover under the base as you lift. Don’t pull; if the piece feels stuck, wait a little longer.
4. Take the unit off slowly, working your way from the front to the back or around the outside edges.
5. Clean your scalp. Use a cotton pad soaked in remover to wipe away leftover stickiness, then wash your head with a mild shampoo.
6. Clean the base separately. Peel old tape and glue from the base before putting the piece back on. Keep in mind that lace bases need a lighter touch than skin bases.

How to get dried glue out of your own hair

• Rub some remover or oil into the sticky strands and give it time to soak in.
• Work the residue loose with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, starting from the tips of your hair.
• Don’t pull at stubborn spots; dried glue might take two or three tries to come out entirely.
• Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo, followed by conditioner.

What to avoid

• Yanking or ripping the hairpiece or glued strands. This can pull out your natural hair and bother your scalp.
• Harsh chemicals. Never use household solvents or nail polish remover on your skin.
• Getting remover near your eyes.
• Scraping your scalp or the hair system base with your fingernails or sharp tools.
• Hot water. Warm water is all you need.

If your scalp feels sore, itchy, or looks red after you take off your system, stop using the remover and talk to a doctor or dermatologist.
