    X20 Adhesive for sensitive skin

    Apply a thin coat of X20 Unifying Agent, a non-toxic, non-flammable, water based bond that is ideal for sensitive skin. Let it dry until clear before adding the next layer, and build up gradually with each coat.

    Thin coats give the strongest hold.

    FAQ

    How long does X20 adhesive hold?

    X20 holds for up to 4 weeks when the scalp is properly prepared with the NX-Gen Effects cleaning steps and the unit is maintained regularly. Actual hold time depends on skin oiliness, sweat, activity level and climate.

    Which hair system bases can I use X20 adhesive with?

    X20 is designed for skin (poly) and lace hair system bases. Apply it to the scalp only, not to the base of the unit.

    Is X20 a good hair system adhesive for sensitive skin?

    X20 is a water-based, non-flammable adhesive formulated for sensitive skin, which makes it a popular choice for wearers who react to solvent-based glues. Every scalp is different, so do a small patch test 24 hours before your first full application and stop use if irritation occurs.

    How do I apply X20 adhesive?

    Clean the scalp with the NX-Gen Effects cleaning regimen. Apply four coats to the scalp, slightly increasing the amount with each layer, and let each coat dry before adding the next. Then press the base onto the scalp for a full bond. X20 is labeled for professional use, so first-time wearers should have it applied by a trained stylist.
