Perimeter Bonding (Second Skin™ and Gel Flex™ ONLY)

This method requires a track area, usually 1" wide encircling the perimeter of the system.

Before Starting:

Make sure both surfaces to be bonded (scalp and system) are clean, dry and free of ALL grease and oil. Remove any stubble from the area of scalp to be bonded.

When finished, you should avoid washing hair for 24 hours.

Items Required:

• Scalp Protector
• Ultra Hold or Mity-Tite
• Application brush

Instructions

NB: These instructions apply to systems without lace fronts. If your system incorporates a lace front, please also refer to the Lace Front Bonding instructions.

1. Apply a thin layer of Scalp Protector around the perimeter of your scalp (approx. 1" wide). Allow to dry for 3-5 minutes.
2. Using your application brush, apply a thin layer of adhesive on your scalp (over the area covered with scalp protector) and apply a thin layer to the matching area on the underside of the system. IMPORTANT: If you are using The Invisible™, apply the adhesive to the scalp ONLY.
3. Allow each surface to dry separately for 3-5 minutes.
4. Join both surfaces together and press firmly together.
5. Leave to dry in place for 5 minutes before styling.

Tips

1. For best results, keep the system dry and perspiration free for 24 hours.
2. Applying two coats of adhesive will further strengthen the bond.
3. Although each surface must be left to dry for 3-5 minutes, a hair dryer can be used to speed up the adhesive curing time.
