As we count down to The Big Weekend 2025, we’re proud to introduce the incredible organisations supporting us as Diamond Sponsors. Their support is helping make this year’s event our most impactful yet – bringing together people affected by alopecia for a weekend of connection, shared experience and community.

In this blog series, we’re spotlighting each of our Diamond Sponsors to explore who they are, why they’ve chosen to support Alopecia UK, and what they’re looking forward to most at The Big Weekend.

Can you tell us a bit about your organisation and what you do?

GHOSTBOND is one of the most trusted names in wig glue for sensitive skin. Known for our reliable, scalp-safe adhesives, we create bonding products that provide a secure, all-day hold without irritation. Every single formula in our line is developed with care – prioritising performance and comfort for people who wear wigs or hair systems regularly.

But we don’t stop at adhesive. Our full product line includes scalp prep solutions, skin-safe removers, and aftercare essentials that support healthy skin beneath the system. Our adhesives are widely recommended by hair professionals for their durability and gentle ingredients – making them a go-to choice for people with alopecia or sensitive skin.

The Scruffy Hair Company, a key distribution partner for GHOSTBOND in the UK - a growing force in the professional hair replacement industry. We stock the full GHOSTBOND range along with other alopecia support products, offering everything from non-irritating wig adhesive to specialist scalp care.

As a UK wig adhesive retailer, we make it easier for people to access effective products without the usual confusion or hard sell. Whether you’re looking for advice, trade pricing, or just trying to find the best hair system adhesive in the UK, we’ve got you covered.

We’re here for everyday wig wearers, alopecia warriors, salon professionals, and clinics. And we’re proud to support the real people behind every order – because we’ve lived this too.

What inspired you to support Alopecia UK and become a Diamond Sponsor for The Big Weekend 2025?

This partnership made perfect sense from the start.

We work with people living with hair loss every single day – many of whom live with alopecia and are navigating what products are right for them. Supporting Alopecia UK means supporting those people in a more direct, hands-on way.

The Big Weekend is more than just an event – it’s a space where people with alopecia can come together, share stories, and celebrate their identity. We knew we wanted to be part of that. And as a brand rooted in hair loss support, this felt like the most authentic way to show up.

We’re not here to sell products. We’re here to offer peace of mind and be part of something that empowers people to feel more confident in themselves.

What does supporting people with alopecia mean to your organisation?

It means showing up with empathy, practical advice and products that do what they promise.

Living with alopecia can bring unique challenges, and hair replacement is often just one part of the bigger picture. That’s why we’re committed to making things simpler and more supportive – whether that’s through our alopecia-friendly wig care products, helpful content, or fast, honest customer service.

For us, supporting people with alopecia isn’t just about the right glue – it’s about:

• Helping people feel confident and secure in their hair systems
• Offering adhesives that are kind to the scalp and safe for sensitive skin
• Guiding customers to the right product based on their needs – not trends
• Creating access to professional hair replacement supplies that are affordable and easy to use
• Taking time to listen, respond and genuinely help

We understand that choosing a wig adhesive can feel overwhelming – especially with so many options out there. That’s why we take a no-nonsense approach to product advice, rooted in our own lived experience and daily conversations with people who rely on these products.

What are you most looking forward to at The Big Weekend 2025?

Meeting the people.

So much of what we do is behind the scenes – via emails, calls, or social messages – so the chance to meet our community in person is exciting. We want to hear what’s working, what’s not, and how we can improve.

We’re also planning something a little different for the event itself. Without giving too much away, expect something fun, personal and interactive that reflects who we are and what we stand for.

More than anything, we’re looking forward to the atmosphere. The shared energy. The stories. The new connections. This is the heart of the community we support – and we’re proud to be part of it.
