What is German Brown Tape?
Walker Tape®'s German Brown is our firmest tape for hard bond adhesives, helping create a barrier of protection between the hard bond adhesive and the hair system. This ensures a strong, secure hold while preventing hard bonds from failing. It is skin-safe and low-residue, making removal and cleanup easier. Contains latex.
