In this video, I use my Walker Tape products and go back to the basics of adhesives, a foundational concept in technical skills. I describe different types of hair replacement tape and how each one is used properly. I also introduce suspended adhesives, a product that allows you to secure hair systems in a slightly different manner. I recommend you find a spot on your shelf for all of these products from Walker Tape! These adhesives are a must have for any hair replacement specialist!
Tape is one of those common household items that is really fascinating when you sit down to think about it. How is it made? What different kinds are there?
In the hair replacement industry we use tape all the time, but it’s not just any tape. 3M has designed specialty hair replacement tape and adhesives that are designed to safely adhere to the skin and scalp. When it comes to tape, putting it on is the easy part. Part of why this hair replacement tape is unique is it will stay put and secure for a long period of time but can also be removed without causing pain or damage to the scalp. Watch the video to learn more about both application and removal.
Now, you may be wondering, “Where do I get this tape?” Well, there is only one company I recommend when it comes to stocking and restocking your tape supply – Walker Tape. Founder, Brent Bonham, started this company with a spark of curiosity. After years of working in the hair replacement industry, Brent was seeking to find a better way to produce innovative products through building custom machinery. This curiosity led to creating. And this creating led to the formation of Walker Tape. After a time of producing products in his basement, Brent found the answers he was looking for, and now Walker Tape is the industry leader in tape and adhesive for hair replacement systems. As time has gone on, Brent’s grandson and current CEO, Shane Stott, has continued the tradition of developing innovative products to improve and support the hair replacement industry.
