MAX Adhere 360 Review

Posted By Ibropalic on Oct 18, 2018 | 0 comments

MAX Adhere 360 is a premium hairpiece adhesive, designed to give maximum hold to a toupee, weave or another postiche of any kind. While it can certainly help hold a man’s toupee (or a gentleman’s weave; they are a thing) in place, it’s actually, a product for women as well. After all, hair extensions have to hold in place as do false eyelashes and eyebrows.

For anyone who wears a hairpiece of any kind, it’s a premium brand of hairpiece glue that is well worth the look.

Toupee Glue An Integral Part Of Wearing A Hairpiece

Toupee glue is one of the dominant methods of securing a hairpiece, should you choose to wear one. Granted, this seems like a complete anachronism in today’s day and age as the practice of men wearing a hairpiece has fallen drastically out of favor.

In previous eras, well-to-do men would shave their heads bald and wear elaborate hair pieces over their bald or stubbled pate. This was both to ensure a consistent hairstyle but also to combat lice, formerly a much more common problem.

Hairpieces arguably peaked in the 20th century, as baldness became far more accepted. However, it wasn’t as acceptable as one might think. Many celebrities, including those known for their supposed rugged manliness, in fact, wore toupees to keep up their image. Such persons included Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart and – James Bond himself, no less – Sir Sean Connery. Connery, in fact, wore a wig in every Bond film he appeared in.

When a gentleman decided to wear a toupee, there were two basic methods of securing it – namely wig glue or tape.

Tape is easiest, but is not very durable. If glue over a bandage doesn’t hold up more than a few hours, tape under a hairpiece won’t either. The other method is to apply a gentle glue, and a number of toupee glue formulations have appeared over the years.

MAX Adhere 360 is a modern hairpiece glueformula, designed for performance beyond that of the typical hairpiece glue.Visions of comic hairpiece separations, be gone; this is for the person whodemands extended wear and seamless appearance.

Adhere 360 Holds Tighter For Longer

Adhere 360 is a performance hairpiece glue rather than a soluble adhesive that you could take on and off every day. Instead, its intended use is to apply and leave on for weeks at a time. MAX Adhesives advertises 4 to 5 weeks before the adhesive begins to break down; some reviews out there suggest up to 6 weeks may be possible.

The exact type of adhesive isn’t mentioned, but Adhere 360 is a water-based copolymer adhesive. However, it is not water-soluble, so it can get wet without issue. Widely used copolymers – made by mixing two substances to create a polymer – include acrylics, so it may be some sort of acrylate. One of the most popular adhesives globally is cyanoacrylate, a.k.a. Crazy Glue or Super Glue.

Adhere 360 is available for sale to the general public, but is also sold professionally to salons, so this is a professional grade product. It’s used not only by lay people but also in professional capacities in the arts, as hairpieces are part of wardrobe for theatrical productions as well as film and television productions.

There are still men who wear hair pieces, including weaves for men – where thinning hair is thickened, just like with women’s weaves – for a number of reasons. Men who are balding due to male pattern baldness may desire to wear a hairpiece. Many women wear false eyelashes or eyebrows on a regular basis.

There are also a number of people who will wear a hairpiece when battling cancer, and a good appearance with a hairpiece may give them a confidence boost as they fight for their lives. That is certainly nothing to sneer at.

In short, if you wear a hairpiece, whether as part of your lifestyle or if needing one for other reasons, MAX Adhere 360 is the hairpiece glue for when serious and sustained performance is called for.
