Hairpieces and wigs can be expensive and costly to maintain. They also wear out. Worse, though it’s rare, they can shift at embarrassing moments. But these hair additions supply an instant head of hair and can also buy time for people considering surgery.
New technologies have improved hairpieces, making them look natural. Human or artificial hair (or a mixture) is sewn into finely netted nylon or polyurethane or silicon, all of which is pliable, mould to the skin, and allow air, water and perspiration to circulate around the scalp. One hair at a time is attached to the base in the direction it would normally grow. And the customer’s own hairline, hair density and curl can be matched.
Many hairpieces can be washed, blown dry, and colored and permed—just about anything you’d do with your own hair. Most weigh very little, and are attached with double-face surgical adhesive tape, combs or clips. A taped-on hairpiece can be left attached for a couple of days or removed whenever desired; hair extensions that are bonded to natural hair with acrylic or polymer glue, or woven to a braid of existing hair, can be left in place for several weeks.
