Hair replacement formulated for skin, by science, with experience.
Adhesives that lift. Residue that lingers. Chemicals that damage the skin. For hair system wearers, the wrong product isn’t an inconvenience – it’s a scalp problem. We’ve spent 30 years building the alternative.

§ 01 — The Problem
Four problems
every wearer
knows.
We analysed over 50,000 customer reviews from hair system wearers across Amazon, Walmart, TikTok, and Instagram. The same problems surface again and again — and every one of them traces back to the products touching the scalp. Not just adhesives. The full wear cycle.

Residue, buildup, and scalp irritation
of hair system wearers cite residue, odor, and buildup beneath their unit as a daily frustration. A hair system traps heat, sweat, and oil against the scalp — so the scalp needs products built for that environment, not repurposed salon chemistry.

Every Professional Hair Labs formula is built around one principle, that the scalp deserves as much care as the hair that sits on it.
§ 02 — The Architecture
Three brands,
one specialism.
Hair replacement is the only thing we work on. That focus runs through three brands: the parent company that started it all, the GHOSTBOND adhesive range, and Scientific Cosmetix, the lab that manufactures it.
Brand 01 · The Parent
Professional Hair Labs
The company that started it all. For three decades we have made products for people who wear hair every day, covering the whole routine from scalp prep to clean removal. We formulate for the person wearing it, not for the shelf.
Brand 02 · The Flagship
GHOSTBOND
Our adhesive range. Five formulas, each built for a real situation: oily scalps, heavy sweat, weeks of wear, daily use, and finishes that stay invisible on camera.
Brand 03 · The Sister Business
Scientific Cosmetix
Our manufacturing arm. We make custom formulas, catalogue products, and private label ranges for founders launching their own cosmetic line. Everything is EU compliant and GMP certified, and you keep the IP.

§ 07 — Frequently Asked
Questions,
clearly
answered.
Q.01How are you different from other brands?
We make what we sell. We are a manufacturer that formulates and produces its own adhesives, rather than a brand that buys product from a third party and puts a label on it. That control is why the hold is consistent batch to batch, and it is why we can stand behind what goes on your skin. We have been formulating wig glues since 1994.
Q.02How do I know my product is genuine?
Counterfeit GHOSTBOND products are a real and growing problem worldwide, and we know a high volume of fake versions of our products are in circulation globally. These are poor replicas made outside our control, in facilities that do not meet the safety and regulatory standards we hold our own products to. That means there is no way of knowing what is actually inside the bottle, and no assurance it is safe to put on your skin.
We do not sell or authorise the sale of our products on marketplaces such as Alibaba, AliExpress, or Temu, or on any other Chinese-based retail site. Any of our products listed there are not genuine, and they should never be bought or used.
There are two ways to be certain you have the real thing:
- Scan the code on your product with our Clarity Codes app. It lets you contact us directly to confirm your product is authentic before you use it.
- Order direct at ghostbond.com. Buying from us, or from an authorised distributor, is the only way to guarantee a genuine product.
If anything about a product looks off, or a seller cannot be verified, contact us before you apply it.
Q.03Will your products damage my scalp, edges, or skin?
Used as directed, our adhesives are made to hold securely and come off cleanly, without pulling at your skin or edges. Most damage comes from one of two things: leaving an install on far longer than the formula is intended for, or taking it down by force instead of with a proper remover or by applying the adhesives incorrectly. Follow the wear guidance for your formula, remove it with a dedicated adhesive remover, and give your scalp regular breaks between installs. If you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions, patch test first. Stop using the product and speak to a doctor if you notice irritation that does not settle.
Q.04 Is it safe for sensitive skin, and should I patch test?
We always recommend a patch test, and especially if you have sensitive skin, allergies, or have reacted to adhesives before. Apply a small amount to the inside of your forearm, leave it for 24 to 48 hours, and check for redness, itching, or irritation before using it on your scalp. If you react, do not use the product.
Q.05 How do I remove the adhesive safely?
Never pull or peel a bond off dry. That is what tears skin and edges. Saturate the bonded area with a dedicated remover and give it time to break the bond down, then lift gently. Work any stubborn spots with more remover rather than forcing them. Once the unit is off, clean away the residue and let your scalp rest before the next install. A patient takedown is what keeps your hairline healthy over the long run.
Q.06How long will my install last, and what do I need for daily wear?
Wear time depends on the formula, your skin type, and your routine, from a day or two with an everyday adhesive up to 2-4 weeks with our extended-hold formulas. For daily wear, most people keep three things on hand: the adhesive that suits their skin, a dedicated remover for clean takedowns, and a scalp prep or protector to get the most from each application. Match the formula to how long you actually want to wear it, rather than always reaching for the strongest option.
Q.07 Which adhesive is right for me?
It comes down to three things: your skin type, how active you are, and how long you want each install to last.
- Everyday wear and easy takedown: GHOSTBOND Daily
- Longer, extended wear: GHOSTBOND Endure
- Heat, sweat, and high activity: GHOSTBOND Sport
- Oily skin that needs extra grip: GHOSTBOND Motion
- Sensitive skin that needs a gentler bond: GHOSTBOND Classic
If you are not sure where to start, go with GHOSTBOND Endure and adjust from there.
Q.08 Will it hold through sweat, heat, humidity, and water?
Yes, with the right formula. Our stronger-hold adhesives are built to stay put through sweat, heat, humidity, showers, and swimming. The key is matching the formula to your conditions and prepping the skin properly before you apply. If you live somewhere hot and humid, or you train hard, choose one of our high-performance formulas rather than an everyday one.
Q.09 My skin is oily. How do I get a longer hold?
Oily skin is the most common reason a bond lifts early, because oil sits between your skin and the adhesive. The fix is preparation. Cleanse the area thoroughly, remove all oil and residue, and let the skin dry fully before you apply. A scalp protector, plus a few thin layers built up slowly, will hold far better than one thick coat. If you run very oily, choose a stronger-hold formula GHOSTBOND Endure and repeat your prep at every install.
Q.010 How do I apply it for a clean, natural hairline?
A natural front comes from thin, even layers and patience. Start with clean, dry, oil-free skin. Apply the adhesive in thin coats rather than one heavy one, and let each coat turn tacky before you set the unit down. Building it up slowly gives you a flat, invisible bond at the hairline, with no whiteness or ridging. Take your time at the front. That is the part everyone sees.
Q.011 Do you offer wholesale and professional accounts?
Yes. We work with salons, stylists, and retailers through professional and wholesale accounts, with pricing and support built for people who use and sell our products at volume. Click the open an account button on the menu of this site to complete an application form. You will need your business registration details on hand to input.
Q.012 What is Scientific Cosmetix, and how does it relate to PHL?
Scientific Cosmetix is our contract manufacturing division. It is where we formulate and produce products for other brands, using the same facility and the same standards behind Professional Hair Labs and GHOSTBOND. If you are a brand looking for a manufacturing partner rather than a finished product, that is the side of the business to talk to.
Q.013 Do you make products beyond adhesives?
Yes. Adhesives are what we are best known for, but we formulate and manufacture across hair care and wider cosmetic categories, both for our own brands and for the brands we partner with through Scientific Cosmetix.
