Toupees, also known as hairpieces or wigs, stay on the head using a variety of methods. The choice of method often depends on the wearer's lifestyle, the condition of their natural hair, and personal preference. Here are some common methods:
Adhesive Tapes or Glues: These are special cosmetic grade adhesives designed specifically for securing toupees. The adhesive is applied either to the perimeter of the bald area or the entire scalp, and then the toupee is carefully positioned and pressed into place. The bond created can last from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the type of adhesive used.
Clips: Some toupees have small clips sewn into the base that can be attached to existing hair. This method is easy to use and allows for the toupee to be removed and reattached as needed. However, it's not suitable for those with very little to no existing hair.
Vacuum Fit: These are custom-made toupees that are designed to match the exact contours of the wearer's scalp. The fit is so precise that it creates a vacuum seal without the need for adhesives or clips. This method provides a very secure fit but requires a completely bald scalp for the vacuum to be effective.
Integration: In this method, a toupee with a net-like base is used. The wearer's existing hair is threaded through the holes in the base and blended with the hairpiece for a natural look. This method is suitable for those with thinning hair rather than complete baldness.
It's important to note that proper maintenance and regular cleaning are necessary regardless of the attachment method to ensure the longevity of the toupee and the health of the underlying scalp.
