Hard Bond Adhesives

Hard bond is an acrylic style adhesive that cures rigid and bonds the unit to a short band of hair stubble, around 1/8 inch, along the perimeter. It is the strongest hold available and is applied by a trained stylist.

Hard bond adhesives are made to bond to hair stubble, with the adhesive never applied to the skin. Hair is shaved short where the perimeter will sit, and the bond forms between the base and that stubble.

Protect the base with a barrier tape such as Red Liner along the perimeter, apply small amounts of hard bond to the stubble, and press the unit in place one section at a time. The point of fusion sets fast, so work in small areas.

Hard Bond gives the firmest hold. Elastibond cures with more flexibility for comfort along the hairline. For a liquid adhesive that is applied to the skin instead, see Soft Bond Adhesives.
