Most companies in our industry (internet and retail salons) will give you all sorts of 'fluffy' descriptions in order to avoid using words like hairpiece, wig or toupee. We believe in being honest about what you are about to purchase, so let us get to the point and tell you that hair systems, hair replacement systems and non surgical hair replacement are all generic terms for hairpieces, wigs and toupees.

As far as we know, historically, hairpieces and toupees are usually associated to men, whereas wigs are associated to both men and women.

For men they have been the butt of jokes for wearing a hairpiece or toupee meant everyone could easily tell. The hair quality was poor, the colour was hardly ever matched to the remaining natural hair and the density of the hairpiece or toupee was just too heavy (but then again it had to be in order to hide the underlying base material). Let's not forget that more often than not the hairpiece or toupee would fall off due to very poor attachment techniques. All this put together made the end result highly undesirable for the majority of men everywhere.

If a women wears a wig due to thinning hair or any form of hair loss and makes it public knowledge then usually it is accepted by the wider community. Women have also been luckier than men as wigs are widely used and accepted as fashion accessories, especially for women with African hair. However, poor quality wigs do not enhance appearances of women and they usually end up being just as self conscious as they were with their natural hair problems.
