Prepare for the appointment
Bring the hair system reference and details of any products already used. For a first fitting, describe your preferred hairstyle, activities and availability for salon visits. For a refit, mention changes in hold, comfort or ease of removal.
This helps your specialist select the products and allow time for positioning, preparation and drying.
For an example of appointment budgeting, see Nicolas Klein’s salon services and prices (in French), covering services for hair system wearers.
Agree on the hairline before attachment
Ask to see the piece in position before it is secured, both from the front and in profile. Check the centring, hairline height and join with your own hair. This is the time to request an adjustment.
Your specialist then identifies the attachment areas. On a combination base, lace and polyurethane may need different handling.
Apply LX adhesive as directed
LX hair system adhesive 40 ml is made in France and applied to a thoroughly cleaned scalp. A preliminary skin test is required. The label allows up to three coats with a minimum drying time of five minutes.
Follow the full bottle directions for the fitting; these points should not be transferred to another adhesive. If you are new to this type of product, work with a hair replacement specialist.
Protect the attachment for the first 48 hours
With LX adhesive, do not swim or shampoo for 48 hours after attachment. Avoid excessive perspiration too. Plan ahead if you have a workout or swimming session booked.
Before leaving the salon, mention any discomfort and clarify the permitted care steps. You should know what to do the next morning without having to improvise.
Keep a short fitting record
A brief record helps your specialist identify what was used and prepare the next appointment.
- Fitting date and hair system reference.
- Adhesive, bottle batch number and attachment areas.
- Care instructions and observations during wear.
- Timing or arrangements for the next check.
Plan the next maintenance visit
Agree who will remove the piece and which product is intended for each surface. LX remover cleans adhesive residue from the scalp; base cleaning and hair care need separate instructions.
