Introduction
- Have you been experiencing rapid hair loss that has led to you having to purchase a toupee? Does the toupee look funny on your head, standing out rather than blending in? Are you worried that everyone knows your secret? If so, what you need is to learn how to fit the toupee to your head. There are many ways to accomplish this, and this guide will provide you with the tips to get started.
Step 1: Choose Your Toupee
- Before you get a toupee fitting, you first need to find the perfect toupee to fit your needs. There are many features you should consider before making your final selection, including price. Toupees can be as low as $40 or as high as $4,000, so there is a lot of room in between. You should consider whether you want a toupee that is:
Synthetic or Human Hair?
- When choosing a toupee, one of the first things you need to decide is whether or not you want synthetic hair, which is usually cheaper, or human hair. Synthetic hair:
- It is easy to maintain
- Although these types of toupees are pre-styled, the style can be reset multiple times
- Dries faster than human hair
- Cheaper
- Human hair tends to:
- Cost more
- Be more time consuming
- Look and feel like real hair
Custom or Machine Made?
- The next thing you need to decide is whether to have your toupee custom made, or whether to opt for the machine made version. Custom toupees are:
- They look and feel like real hair
- Take a long time to make, so if you need a toupee quickly this is not your best option
- Machine made toupees tend to be:
- Most common
- Least expensive of all toupees
- Look real unless they are parted wrong
Step 2: Where Can You Get a Fitting?
- Toupee fittings can usually be done wherever you purchase the toupee. You can usually get a free fitting when you make the purchase as well. If you already have a toupee, or you need to get it refitted and are not near the place you originally purchased it, you can go to:
- A kiosk at the mall. These places mostly sell hair extensions, but may offer toupees and wigs too. Regardless, the person there should be able to fit your toupee if you bring it in with you.
- Wig stores. Most wig stores can fit your toupee. Call ahead of time, as you may need to make an appointment.
- Hair salons also offer toupee fittings. Call ahead to find out costs and to schedule an appointment.
Step 3: Fitting the Toupee Yourself
- If you have already had your toupee fitted, or have not gone in to have it done yet, you might just want to do it yourself. Although it is preferable to have a professional fit your toupee, especially if you want it to look more natural, many people want to maintain it on their own. You can do this by purchasing the following supplies:
- Wire toupee brush
- Place to store the toupee
- Hair pins
- Hair nets
- Hair clips
- Special toupee hairspray, shampoo and conditioner
