Special FX
Hair and Beards
Hair and beard effects help transform a performer into a completely different character. Spirit gum is the classic adhesive for attaching beards, moustaches, crepe hair, bald caps and other pieces, and a matching remover takes it off gently afterwards. These products are used for theatre, film, cosplay and Halloween character looks.

About Hair and Beards
How do I apply spirit gum?
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, wait until it goes tacky rather than wet, then press the piece on and hold for thirty seconds. Too much gum makes edges lumpy and slow to dry. Heart Face Art SFX Spirit Gum 30ml suits regular use, while Mehron Spirit Gum 4ml is a handy small size.
Why buy the remover too?
Peeling spirit gum off dry is unpleasant and can damage skin, so always buy the remover with the adhesive. Heart Face Art SFX Spirit Gum & Remover Pack bundles both in one, and is the option we recommend for first time buyers. Heart Face Art is the shop's own brand, and it earns double Paint Points.
What can I attach with spirit gum?
Use it for a Latex Rubber Bald Cap, crepe hair beards and our premade prosthetics. Blend the edges with make up from the theatrical and cosplay make up range so the join disappears under stage lights. Take your time on the edges, because a clean blend makes a bald cap or beard look like part of the skin. Keep remover and cotton pads close at hand for easy clean up after the show.
