Regardless of your gender or hair color, you can choose between a human hair toupee or a synthetic one. This article will discuss the different types of toupees, including custom-made, Monofilament, and Lace. It will also cover how to apply a toupee and how to remove it once it’s time to move on. There are several benefits to wearing a toupee, including improved self-esteem and improved emotional health.
Custom made
A custom-made toupee will be crafted for the exact look you are looking for. Unlike wigs, which are merely copies of natural hair, toupees have real hair. They can be molded to match your scalp’s texture and color. If you plan to wear a toupee long-term, make sure you’re committed to wearing it for years. A quality toupee can cost upwards of $10,000, depending on its quality and design.
Human hair
If you’ve ever wanted a full head of hair but were too embarrassed to do it yourself, you can buy a human hair toupee to give yourself the look you’ve always wanted. Whether you’re experiencing thinning hair or just need to look younger, a toupee can give you a natural appearance and boost your self-confidence. Here are four of the best toupees to choose from.
Monofilament
A monofilament toupee is a type of hair system that mimics the hair growth process. The base is shaped to look like natural scalp hair and is designed to fit perfectly on the user’s head. It is comfortable and indistinguishable from natural hair. Unlike other hair systems, monofilament toupees come in dozens of natural color and style options.
A monofilament toupee is very durable and provides a natural look. It is hand-stitched into a semi-transparent mesh material to appear as if the wearer’s own hair is growing naturally. In addition to giving an authentic look, a monofilament toupee provides a cool, comfortable feel against the scalp. It can be made in virtually any color, style, or length to match your natural hair.
Lace
A lace toupee is an excellent choice for those who want to emulate a natural-looking scalp. Lace is a material that is easily blendable with other materials to form a high-quality toupee hair. Most lace toupees have a poly skin perimeter around them. These systems are lightweight and breathable, making them a convenient option for anyone who wants to mimic a natural-looking scalp.
Invisibility is a huge advantage of this type of hair replacement system. It is almost impossible to notice it. The finer the lace material is, the harder it is to detect. Both Swiss and French lace toupees are invisibly natural looking, giving the wearer more confidence. Both materials are available in various shades, with Swiss Lace being lighter and more durable than French Lace. Both materials can be dyed to match the colour of the wearer’s scalp, making them ideal for individuals who want to achieve a natural look.
Skin base
The hair systems used in men’s toupees are usually made of thin, natural-looking poly skin. These systems are easier to attach, maintain, and produce. Some thin skin units have graduated hair density for a more natural look. A skin base toupee can last as long as three months if cared for properly. Here are some tips to keep it looking fresh and healthy. The skin base of a toupee is also known as the “base.”
Skin bases are the easiest type to produce, making them the cheapest and most affordable choice. However, the ventilation can add up to 70 percent of the total cost. That’s why skin bases are 30% cheaper than other hair systems. Monofilament bases, on the other hand, are more expensive and require more training for their manufacture. Superhairpieces still sells the most mono hair units, so if you’re considering switching to a skin base, wait until the hair industry is back up to full production before you do so.
