Ghostbond Classic is a special wig glue that can handle hot weather without changing or losing its hold. According to Amazon, you can depend on it to keep your wig secure and looking great.
"Wig installation will kill us," Sandisiwe said in the post's caption.
According to The Wig Gurus, one of the most significant risks of wig glue is the potential for allergic reactions. The chemicals in the glue can cause irritation, itching, and even rashes on the scalp. In severe cases, it can even lead to hair loss. Another risk is the potential for damage to natural hair.
How to safely remove wig glue properly
The owner of Lungstar Salon in Durban, Lungi, spoke to Briefly News about removing wig installations.
"It is important to remove wig glue properly when removing an installation. Wig glue or adhesive remover should be applied generously on the wig and hairline before pulling or removing it.
"Rubbing alcohol is another strong solvent that can be used to remove wig glue. To use it, soak a cotton ball or pad in rubbing alcohol and apply it to the area where the wig is glued. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently peel the wig away," Lungi shared.
South Africans share their thoughts
While some netizens reacted with concern to the woman's hair despair, others shared that the glue she used was not the best to use for wig installs.

"Glueless wigs (wear and go) are the best."
