Lace, poly or a combination base?
Turn the hair system over: the choice starts underneath. Lace is a fine mesh; polyurethane, often called poly or PU, is a different material. Some systems combine both.
Identify the attachment area and the method specified by the hairpiece manufacturer. If you wear a wig with lace at the front, our lace front guide covers that construction in more detail.
For a comparison of constructions, see Klavinski’s guide to lace and poly bases (in French). It connects hair system selection with attachment work in a salon.
Match the attachment to everyday life
Sport, warm weather, removal frequency and care at home or in a salon all matter. The best adhesive for someone else may not suit your piece or wearing routine.
Tell your specialist what happened with previous fittings. Lifting at the edge and difficult removal raise different questions. Hold time varies with skin, preparation and wearing conditions; a single duration cannot describe every fitting.
LX adhesive, made in France
LX hair system adhesive is made in France and supplied in a 40 ml bottle marked “Lace & Poly”. It is intended to secure hair systems and is applied to a thoroughly cleaned scalp.
The product page brings together application directions, precautions and the label. It gives you a clearly identified reference for your fitting kit, with the LX team available to discuss your particular system.
Plan removal when choosing the adhesive
Think ahead to the next maintenance appointment. Removing the piece, cleaning its base and cleaning the scalp are separate tasks. LX remover 115 ml is intended for adhesive residue on the scalp; the base needs the care method specified for that hair system.
Before your first LX fitting
Carry out the preliminary skin test and follow the precautions on the bottle. With LX, avoid swimming, shampooing and excessive perspiration for 48 hours after attachment. Choose your appointment time with this in mind.
