There is no doubt that the debate about Clip on hair replacement systems and Adhesives has been ongoing for some time. The reality is that there are positives and negatives to both but whether one is better than another is totally based on personal choice. Many hair replacement wearers prefer the ease of use and fairly low amount of cleanup and maintenance that comes with wearing hair clips. On the other hand, tape and adhesives have a variety of benefits that make them a very popular choice amongst all hair wearers. Read on for more differences between clip on hair replacement systems and adhesives for hair replacement systems.
Initially both Clips and Adhesives have been used and often a combination of both. The positive sides to clips are: ease of application, no mess, ease of removal and increased longevity of the system itself and the freedom to wear hair whenever it is desired. With adhesives you have perimeter attachment with no gaps, a sense of security perhaps and smoother transition from the hair system to growing hair. Both methods also have their down sides as well. Clips, if not moved occasionally on the base of the system can cause traction alopecia and also hair loss due to the tension of the clip in the same location. The hair loss is
most often irreversible. This is one thing that is sure to deter many hair wearers from using clips, and a main reason why adhesive bonding has become such a popular solution for hair piece attachment. Adhesives can create dermatological problems for the wearer including open sores, rashes and extreme itching and irritation. It may take several tries with different adhesives to find the one that's right for you. The good news about hair piece tape and adhesives is that there is such a diverse selection of products available, you're sure to find something that will suit your own situation well as long as you take the time to look. Clips, on the other hand, are pretty straightforward. All you really need to do is determine the size of the clips that you need, and the color. Generally clips come in metallic, black, brown and blonde colors.
The bottom line, it is a personal choice made by each hair wearer but rest assured both are viable and reliable methods of attachment of a hair system. If you're still not sure which kind of attachment method is best for you, contact your hair replacement company and discuss your options with them. If you're still unsure, get a second opinion. There are many hair replacement companies that will be happy to take your calls and emails and answer any questions you may have regarding your hair replacement situation.
