Wig glue is a lifesaver for securing your wig, but removing it from your natural hair can feel like a challenge. The good news? There are simple, safe methods to dissolve wig glue without damaging your hair or scalp. Here’s how to do it right:
1. Coconut Oil or Olive Oil
One of the easiest and most natural ways to remove wig glue is by using oils:
- Take a generous amount of coconut oil or olive oil and apply it directly to the glue.
- Massage gently to help break down the adhesive.
- Let the oil sit for 10–15 minutes to fully loosen the glue.
- Carefully wipe away the residue with a soft cloth or your fingers, then rinse with warm water.
💡 Why it works: The oil dissolves the adhesive while moisturizing your hair and scalp.
2. Warm Water and Conditioner
If you don’t have oils on hand, conditioner works wonders too:
- Wet the glued area with warm water to soften the adhesive.
- Apply a generous amount of conditioner and massage it into the glue.
- Let it sit for a few minutes to break down the adhesive.
- Gently rinse and comb through to remove the residue.
3. Specialized Wig Adhesive Remover
For particularly stubborn glue, a dedicated wig adhesive remover can make the process easier:
- Dab the remover onto the glue using a cotton pad or cloth.
- Allow it to sit for a few minutes to break down the adhesive.
- Wash your hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo, like Cabell’s Wig Shampoo, to remove any remaining residue.
4. Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Don’t pull or scrape the glue: This can damage your hair or scalp.
- Don’t rush the process: Letting the product sit will make removal easier and safer.
- Don’t use harsh chemicals: Products like alcohol or acetone can dry out and irritate your skin.
