What Is Toupee

A toupée is a hairpiece or partial wig of natural or synthetic hair worn to cover partial baldness or for theatrical purposes. While toupées and hairpieces are typically associated with male wearers, some women also use hairpieces to lengthen existing hair, or cover a partially exposed scalp.

Some Pros of Using Toupees

Successfully Covers Up Bald Areas
One of the main benefits associated with toupees is that they are effective at what they are intended to do. You wear a toupee to cover up bald spots and it works.

Can Be Natural Looking
There is a misconception that a toupee is easily noticeable. The truth is, when properly made and fit, it’s not that noticeable. They can be made to look very natural and seamlessly blend in with your natural hair and hair color. They are usually cut and designed to match your hair which allows it to seamlessly blend in.

Not Invasive
Some people don’t want to opt for more costly and more invasive methods for helping mask their hair loss. If you want to cover up the fact that you are balding and you don’t want to spend a fortune doing so, you can easily use a toupee to get similar results. A high-quality toupee can deliver you the appearance of having a full head of hair.

How to Avoid Toupee Falling Off

Here we come up with several points you need to especially pay attention to in order to ensure the toupees stick to the scalp firmly.

Prepare The Head And Toupee Wig Correctly.
Before you put your toupee wigs on, you need to make sure the scalp is clean and free of any oils.
Rubbing alcohol is an effective tool in dissolving and removing dirt, oils, and other debris that will interfere with your hairpiece.
Recommend you use 99% high concentration rubbing alcohol, which contains less water than the lower one thus it and can dissolve oils and other residues more quickly and extensively.
Ensure everywhere of the scalp is nicely cleaned with rubbing alcohol— use your fingers to rub the shaved area to make sure the oils are dissolved and then dry it with a towel. If necessary, repeat this step several times to ensure the cleanness of the scalp.
Then leaves the scalp to dry, or you can use a blow dryer to dry the scalp.
Note: The drier and cleaner the scalp, the more secure the toupee sticks to the scalp.
Except for the scalp, the cleanness of the hair system is also necessary. If you are going to install a completely new toupee, we suggest you shampoo it and clean it with alcohol, otherwise, you may find the hair system does not stick——as most hair systems will go through a special production process called “grease conditioning” in the production to make the hair system look more natural and lustrous.

Use The Right Adhesives
The right adhesives to attach your toupee wigs or hair systems are important to ensure a secure hold.
There are many different kinds of adhesives in the market that cater to the different needs of customers.
Some are made for daily wear, some are ultra-durable, and some are made for extremely waterproofed so you can wear your hair toupee to swim without worrying about it will fall off.
Every customer is different. Don’t expect one adhesive can fit anyone or work under any conditions.
The service life of adhesives varies from several days to a month, if the wearer doesn’t expect to remove it frequently, choosing one with extended service life will ensure it doesn’t get loose before expectations.
Another problem is, although all adhesives are waterproof, they are only for daily wear basis like regular showers, less amount of sweats, etc.
When it refers to extreme conditions like large amounts of sweats and humidity, some adhesives could struggle to get a hold.
If you are living in a hot and moist climate, or you exercise or swim often, we will recommend you use a scalp protector made especially for sports before you attach the hair system, which will help you keep everything in place no matter the sweats and humidity.

Looking After Your Toupee Whiles Swimming

If you're swimming in a pool, you want to consider how chlorine dries out your hair. Salt in seawater pulls the moisture from your hair, leaving it dull-looking.

You can help your hair avoid absorbing too much chlorine or salt by rinsing it in freshwater before you go swimming. Most pools and beaches have access to showers nearby, making it easy to wet your hair before going swimming. Once you've finished swimming, give your hair another rinse to remove the chlorine or salt.

Once you get home from swimming, you want to give your hair system some TLC. Indulge in a conditioner to help soften your hair and restore its hydration.

If you're planning on going diving or cannonballing into the water, keep your toupee in place by wearing a swimming cap. If you're lounging in the water, you can tie your hair up instead of using a cap. You might also decide to wear one if you're planning on swimming laps around the pool as exercise.

It's a good idea to invest in waterproof tape as your normal glue or tape usually won't hold up against the water. Wearing your normal glue or tape might cause your toupee to start to slip on your head. Keep an extra waterproof tape in your beach bag as an emergency backup to secure your toupee before swimming.

If you're a woman who wears a men's toupee, try braiding your hair to add a little extra security to your hair system. You might be choosing to lounge in the pool or float around in the sea. You can add a visor or baseball cap to help keep your toupee securely in place.

How to Wash Toupee Properly in the Shower

Washing a toupee properly in the shower requires gentle handling to maintain its shape and quality.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:

Prepare the set

Make sure the area around the shower is clean and free from clutter. Lay down a towel on a flat surface nearby where you can place the toupee after washing.

During the shower

● Detangle your toupee: Before wetting the toupee, gently comb or brush it to remove any knots or tangles. Use a wide-toothed comb or a brush specifically designed for toupees.
● Wet the toupee: Hold the toupee under lukewarm water, allowing the water to flow down from the base to the ends. Avoid excessive heat, as hot water might damage the structure of the toupee.
● Shampoo application: Apply a small amount of mild shampoo to your hands and lather it gently onto the toupee. Focus on the inside (cap) of the toupee where most of the sweat, oil, and residue gathers. Avoid rubbing the toupee vigorously as this can cause tangling or damage to the fibers.
● Rinse properly: Rinse the toupee under lukewarm water until all the shampoo is washed out. Again, let the water flow from the base to the ends to prevent tangling.
● Conditioning: With the toupee made with human hair, you can apply a small amount of recommended conditioner, focusing more on the ends. Leave it on for a while before rinsing thoroughly with water.

Toupee Care and Maintenance

Always remove your hair system gently and slowly. This is most important for toupees with a lace base design so the base doesn't get torn easily.

Avoid washing your toupee too frequently. Once or twice a week is just fine.

Use specially formulated shampoo for hair systems. Avoid shampoo products with harsh chemicals like sulfate. They'll dry out the oils that are meant to make the hair shiny.

Avoid using too much strength when wringing water out of your hairpiece. Do it gently.

When detangling the hair, do use tooth combs that are big enough.

Apply hair conditioner to your hairpiece moderately.

Avoid overusing the hairdryer on your toupee. If you must, do so in a cold setting. Always best to avoid exposing your hair systems to high temperatures. If they need to be dried, best you let them dry naturally.

Average Lifespan of Toupees

While the lifespan of a toupee varies depending on the factors mentioned above, there are some general guidelines to consider:

Synthetic toupees

Synthetic hairpieces typically last between 4 and 6 months with regular use and proper care. Over time, synthetic fibers may become frizzy or lose their luster, requiring replacement.

Human hair toupees

High-quality human hair toupees can last for 1 to 2 years, depending on how well they are maintained. With proper care, these hairpieces can be washed, styled, and treated much like natural hair.

Hybrid toupees

Some toupees feature a combination of human hair and synthetic materials. The lifespan of hybrid hairpieces falls somewhere between synthetic and human hair options, lasting around 8 to 12 months.

Wig Vs. Hair Piece Vs. Toupee

The first step in the hair replacement process is choosing the best system for the coverage needed. However, since different types of hair replacement options such as a “wig,” “hair piece,” and “toupee” are often used interchangeably, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them and even harder to know which system may be best for you. Here is a brief explanation of three common hair replacement systems, as well as the coverage each is designed to provide.

● Wig:
One of the oldest hair replacement systems, evidence of wig wearing dates back several centuries and can be seen in artifacts recovered from ancient egypt, greece and rome. While wigs/wiglets have evolved since then, the concept of a wig being made of real (human or animal) or artificial hair and intended to cover the entire scalp has stayed relatively static.
Typically wigs are removed each night by the wearer and not worn during certain activities such as bathing.

● Hair Piece:
In contrast to a wig/wiglet, hair pieces are designed for various kinds of coverage. Hair extensions, toupees, head-wraps, and bangs are all types of hair pieces. The coverage of a hair piece depends on your needs. For instance, complete image clinic offers hair pieces that are customized to each client and can fill in thinning hair or cover an entire scalp.
Whereas a wig usually is taken off at night and during other activities by the wearer, a hair piece can be crafted to be more durable, allowing it to stay on while sleeping, showering, exercising, etc. Wearers of these kinds of hair pieces, such as those provided by complete image clinic, typically do not remove it themselves, and instead return to the provider for adjustments and touch-up’s as needed.

● Toupee:
A toupee is a type of hair piece intended to cover baldness on the top of the head. This partial hair piece is usually held in place with two-sided special tape or liquid toupee glue and blends with existing hair on the sides and back of the head. Typically men use toupees more than women, due to the coverage needed for male pattern baldness.
