Hair Prostheses: Precautions in Case of Perspiration

When considering the possibility of wearing a hair prosthesis, the most common questions are usually about itchiness or discomfort caused by sweating.
Another frequent concern is whether perspiration can cause skin irritation or reduce the adhesion strength of the prosthesis.

It’s important to remember that a hair prosthesis is a professionally designed hair thickening system, created to be both comfortable and durable.

Its breathable, ultra-thin structure is engineered to feel imperceptible to the touch while providing maximum comfort to the wearer.
These features make modern prostheses safe in all everyday situations, thanks also to the use of specific medical-grade adhesives.

This means that doing sports or wearing work equipment such as a safety helmet will not be a problem — even with increased perspiration.

During daily activities, there are naturally times when both the body and scalp produce more sweat.
Regardless of skin type, the durability of the prosthesis depends on the quality of the membrane and the type of adhesive used.

Hair Prosthesis: Adhesives and Perspiration

The adhesives used for hair prostheses are medical-grade, hypoallergenic glues developed for all skin types and formulated to resist both sweat and sebum.

The choice of adhesive is tailored to your specific skin type to ensure maximum adhesion while preventing irritation or itching.
Each medical adhesive is carefully designed to suit different kinds of epidermis, ensuring that every person has one (or more) perfectly suitable options.

However, adhesives alone are not responsible for the prosthesis’ hold and longevity — proper care and maintenance are also essential.

Daily Maintenance

To keep your prosthesis in top condition, we recommend regular — but not overly frequent — washing and periodic hygiene sessions.

Use products specifically designed to keep the hair healthy, soft, and shiny.
We particularly suggest specialised shampoos and hydrating masks, along with moisturising oils and sun-protection products (especially in summer), which help maintain softness and flexibility.

It’s also important to comb the hair gently, avoiding breakage or damage.

An overall balanced lifestyle also positively affects scalp health, helping to prevent the excessive production of acidic sweat.

The 5th Dimension Excellent Project

Thanks to continuous research and innovation, Capelli For You has developed the 5th Dimension Excellent system — an ultra-thin hair membrane just a few microns thick.
The membrane is breathable, perfectly adapts to the shape of the head, feels imperceptible to the touch, and delivers a completely natural appearance.

Additionally, we have designed and produced 14 types of hypoallergenic medical adhesives, each formulated for specific skin types and sebum levels.
Through a personalised consultation, we can identify the most suitable adhesive for your scalp, ensuring perfect adhesion and preventing discomfort related to perspiration.

Finally, regular hygiene sessions for the membrane help maintain its perfect integrity by removing any residue caused by sweating.
