Don’t let luck decide the result; learn how to find high-quality hair systems below and take control yourself!
Choose a reliable brand
Shopping on a trustworthy website can reduce the probability of getting a bad toupee to the lowest point. A good brand should at least have an official website for customers to browse and pick different hair systems. If there are physical stores, it is better. A reasonable return policy and warranty, versatile products, and positive reviews are persuasive signs of an upright wig company. This is an era of the internet. There are several ways to research a company, such as getting information on Trustpilot, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Take an internationally renowned brand, Superhairpieces, for example. They set up formal websites in English, Spanish, and French, respectively, to cater to the needs of customers worldwide as much as possible. There are many types of hair systems for males and females, including toupees, hair toppers, hair extensions, wigs, and so on. Stock hairpieces and custom-made hair units are both available. You can even pick up your adhesives, shampoos, and conditioners there. One-stop service is so excellent, saving your time and money. Besides, they also open offline shops and salons that provide the best attachment and styling experience. Customers can touch, see, and feel hair systems in person. Seeing is believing. This is the most direct and effortless way to purchase a high-quality toupee. For all these reasons, Superhairpieces is a role model in this industry, and the quality of hair systems can be highly guaranteed.
Features of quality hair systems
- High-quality human hair
Though synthetic fibre is cheaper than human hair, it shines in a fake way and lacks the natural movement, texture, and feel of a human hair piece. While human hair can be curled and straightened like your own hair, exposure to heat can easily damage and deform a hair unit made of synthetic hair. If you want your toupee to blend better with your hair and be more durable, ensure the hair material is top-notch human hair. Remy hair and virgin hair are the best among human hair. Collecting virgin hair is tricky; many companies use it as a promotional stunt while offering other types of hair. In this case, don’t be credulous of whoever claims to sell virgin hair. Choosing Remy hair is more secure.
- Crafted base
The base of hair replacement for men is a piece of material that holds hair strands. A good base can improve a hair system’s durability, naturalness, and comfort. Check out the videos that display the entire hair system and close-up pictures that show details of the base. Knots on the base should be small and neat, and the skin material should be clear and thin. Monofilament should be well-connected with skin or lace. A curling edge is a bad sign. You can also watch “Before & After” videos posted by other wearers on YouTube to find out how the base feels and looks. These review videos can sometimes be found on the company’s official YouTube account as a tutorial for new users.
- Natural front hairline
A toupee with a completely straight hairline will look weird and unnatural because most people’s front hairline curves slightly according to the shape of the head; therefore when selecting a hair system, you also need to find one with a realistic front contour shape. Common shapes are AA, A, CC, and C. Besides, hair on the front should be knotted in a transitional density to make the hairline natural and undetectable.
- Matched color
Refer to the online color chart and pick a color closest to your bio hair. You can add some grey hair when choosing color options to improve naturalness if you have white hair. If you are unsure how much grey you should add, don’t hesitate to ask the website’s customer service for help. They can provide professional advice on color-matching. Nevertheless, screens of digital devices can influence the color you see, so the safest way to pick a color that blends perfectly with you is to buy a color ring or go to physical stores to try some colors on if possible.
- Proper volume
A vote about preferred density for hair systems on Reddit is going on, and up to now, 80%-90% density has occupied the highest rate. Typically, a 100% density can satisfy the needs of most men suffering from hair loss. However, as you get older, your natural hair will go thinner. At this time, you will need to switch from 100% to 90% or even lower. If a toupee is too dense for you, like 130%, it may look like a heavy hat on your head. You may seem to have a lot of hair with it, but in a very bulky way. If it’s the opposite situation, the toupee is not helping you at all, as it’s too thin to cover your bald spot.
Personal preference
One man’s meat is another man’s poison. A hairpiece that works out well for others may not be as suitable for you. After learning all these things, try to figure out what you value most in a hair system. Naturalness or durability? Is breathability a must for you? How much is your budget? Answering such questions can make your ideal hair system more concrete and tangible. For example, monofilament toupees have the longest lifespan and V-loop skin hairpieces are shockingly realistic, for their bases have no knots. However, a mono unit is less natural-looking, and a skin one has low durability. If you prefer something in between that is breathable, then a lace hair system is perfect for you. French lace is commonly seen and is viewed as a fine default choice, while Swiss lace is softer in texture but costs you more money. You see, every coin has two sides. A toupee that fits you is best.
When facing thousands of toupees next time, you won’t get lost and can easily discover what you want with a brilliant quality. With the tips above, I’m sure your hair system journey will be a 100% success. Good luck!
