Wigs vs. Hair Pieces vs. Top Pieces – What’s the Difference?

Wigs, hair pieces, and top pieces help people from all walks of life take on a new appearance and, in many cases, hide hair loss. Newport Hair Loss Center specializes in human hair pieces that mimic the real thing, offering unmatched realism and confidence. Let's explore the differences between these options.

Wigs:

Wigs are versatile head coverings made of either real or synthetic hair.
They come in various lengths, colors, and styles, allowing for styling, coloring, and wear in any situation.
The highest quality wigs are made from virgin human hair, while cheaper options are processed and treated.

Custom Wigs:

Custom wigs are tailored to your head shape and style preferences.
The process starts with a consultation to measure your scalp, head, and neck dimensions.
Wigs can have lace foundations for a natural look, secured with elastic strips or clips.

Hair Pieces:

Hair pieces are ideal for concealing hair loss, adding volume, or changing style.
They come in various types, including bangs, buns, clip-ons, weaves, headbands, ponytails, toppers, volumizers, and wiglets.

Attachment methods include liquid adhesive, double-sided tape, metal clips, or sewing.
Toupees (Top Pieces):

Toupees are primarily worn by men to conceal bald spots on the top or back of the head.
They can be custom-designed with synthetic or human hair and are held in place with adhesive or a plastic band.
Top pieces are still used today, especially for those recovering from chemotherapy and experiencing hair loss.

Conclusion:

The terms wigs, hair pieces, and top pieces are often used interchangeably.
Customized options provide the human hair you desire, covering hair loss and enhancing your style.
Hair systems offer versatility and confidence, suitable for various occasions.
