A realistic hairline means everything for a perfect hair system look. While installing a poly skin hair system for your client, sometimes you may discover an unnatural shine around the client’s front hairline, especially as the sun projects its rays on it. Some wearers are deeply concerned about this issue.
The shiniest area on the scalp that’s most likely to attract attention is the front hairline, especially when the wearer puts on a quiff, slick back, or any other pushed-back hairstyle, exposing it.
Are there any valuable methods to eliminate the shine from the hairline? This post is everything you need to free your customer from the shine around the front hairline.
What Is the Shine?
What’s the shine on a skin hair system? How could the skin hair system get shiny?
Indeed, it doesn’t mean a skin hair system could ever become illuminant; I don’t think light could ever come out of a skin hair system.
The shine on a skin hair system means that the surface of the skin base is transparent, a little like plastic. When placed under the sun, it will reflect the sunlight, especially the front hairline section.
For example, when a wearer enters the sun, the base around the front hairline reflects sunlight. Others may notice a shiny layer of something over the person’s scalp. That’s the shine we’re talking about, and that’s the shine that needs to get rid of.
How to Kill the Shine on a Skin Hair System Base
Thin skin hair systems are typically born with this shine around the front hairline. As the poly surface is similar to the surface of plastic or light leather. It’s flat and smooth and thus reflects the light and shines. All we need to do is make its surface along the front hairline less smooth to distract sunlight.
No-Shine Tape
Sometimes, shiny tapes also cause shine on the hair system. When we install the hair system using shiny tape, the tape reflects natural light, especially around the front hairline, drawing unwanted attention from others. So when you find the hairline shines, first, you should check if it’s the shine from the tape.
If yes, try those no-shine tapes.
Walker No-Shine tape has a translucent surface, which doesn’t reflect sunlight. Attaching the tape along the front hairline section will melt into the wearer’s scalp like the base itself.
Walker No-Shine Tape Contours are tapes that are mainly for the front hairline. Simply attach it, and it will follow the shape of the hairline without further cutting requirements. The tape contours also come in different hairline shapes to suit various hairlines perfectly.
If you already ensure the shine is not from the tape but the base itself, those methods below are verified helpful by endless users.
NYX Shine Killer
NYX Shine Killer is commonly used by girls to cover the shine of their makeup. It is a clear gel. It can also get rid of the shine from the poly hair system base as well.
Focus on the front hairline. Rub a little bit of NYX on the surface of the hair system base with a finger or cotton swab, and you will see a fantastic result.
Anti-Shine Powder
Another way to get rid of the shine is by using anti-shine powder. Powders make things dull. That’s true. Dip a cotton ball into anti-shine powder, and brush it on the base surface along the front hairline where it shines. It also works well.
