Whether you’re a first-time wearer or want to refine your method, follow along with our clear instructions and helpful videos to feel confident every step of the way.

Why Choose Ghostbond?

Ghostbond adhesives are known for their strong, waterproof hold, invisible finish, and scalp-safe formula. Ideal for oily skin, humidity, and daily wear, Ghostbond delivers secure bonding without compromising comfort or skin health.

Step 1: Remove Your Old System with UltraSafe

Use UltraSafe remover to safely detach your current hair system from the scalp without causing damage.

Step 2: Clean the System with Ghostbuster

Eliminate all adhesive residue from your hair system using Ghostbuster adhesive remover, ensuring a clean base for reapplication.

Step 3: Cleanse Your Scalp with Dual Action Shampoo

Thoroughly wash your scalp to remove product buildup, oils, and sweat using Dual Action Shampoo.

Step 4: Refresh the Hair System with PHL5 Shampoo

Clean and condition your hair system with PHL5 Shampoo to restore softness and prepare it for reattachment.

Step 5: Remove Remaining Adhesive with Remove All

Use Remove All adhesive remover to eliminate any lingering glue from your scalp, ensuring a clean surface.

Step 6: Detox with Mud Mask

Apply the Mud Mask detox treatment to draw out deep-seated oils, dirt, and toxins from the scalp.

Step 7: Protect with No Sweat Scalp Protector

Before applying adhesive, use No Sweat Scalp Protector to improve hold and shield your scalp from irritation and perspiration.

Step 8: Apply Ghostbond Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of Ghostbond glue to the prepared scalp. Wait until the adhesive becomes tacky before attaching the system for a strong, secure bond. There are several adhesives for different skin types.
