Toupees can be defined as the partial hairpiece used to cover bald patches. They are usually used by men experiencing baldness and are rarely used by women because they generally prefer alternative hair replacements such as extensions or lace wigs. They can be used on different parts of the head and some will actually cover the entire head even though they are only applied on a specific area.
Custom made toupees are also available for a more tailored and natural appearance. They can be applied with the use of adhesives such as glue or tape and depending on the hairpiece; they can also be woven into the wearer's natural hair to camouflage mild hair loss.
The two main important characteristics of a toupee are the color and texture because its main purpose is to blend into your own natural hair. Unlike a full lace front wigs where its color and texture is not so important because it covers the head completely; the toupee is generally used to cover a balding area of the head. In addition, when obtaining an adhesive for your toupee, it's advisable to test your skin for a period of 24 hours to ensure that you are not allergic to the products.
Many of the times, a lace front wigs unit is designed to suit your hair texture and scalp, where the base material used to knot the hair follicles is very thin and un-noticeable. There are many other options that are available in the market for men and women; however if you experiencing hair loss in a crown area of your head, a hair replacement unit such as a toupee is a convenient solution.
