Shop Men's Hair Toupees

The lifespan of a toupee depends majorly on the base material and the method used to knot the hair as well as the care it receives from the wearer. That said, lifespans across the industry can be anywhere from one month to one year.

Thin skin hair systems often last one to three months. Lace hair systems can last two to five months. Hybrid skin and lace systems can also last two to five months. Mono hair systems can last over five months if cared for correctly.

Yes, you can sleep, shower, and swim in a hairpiece toupee! Using a silk pillowcase is advised to prevent hair shedding when sleeping. Attaching a toupee with water-resistant glue or tape ensures it stays in place while showering and swimming. You can also use a swimming cap for extra protection. (Plus, it will protect your hair from the chlorine/seawater).

Toupees are securely attached with tape or glue which are both designed to endure various activities including showering, swimming, and even winds over 50mph and skydiving. So, toupees won’t fall off if they have been properly attached.

You can see a hair system as semi-permanent. That means hair systems can be worn for weeks at a time but they can be removed at any time. Men usually wear a hairpiece for around a week before doing a full removal but how long someone goes between reattachments will depend on the individual.

Typically, toupees don't cause itchiness if they are properly fitted. However, individual skin types can react differently to various toupee materials, like poly skin systems. It's important to note that itchiness can occur not directly from the toupee itself, but due to other factors like insufficient maintenance, existing skin conditions, reactions to hair dye, or allergies to the adhesives used. Each person's experience may vary based on these factors.

It goes without saying that you should select a hair color that perfectly matches your natural hair color and if not perfectly, very closely. We are confident our hair colors will be a match for you. While hair systems can be dyed to create unique colors, it's recommended to choose pre-colored toupees from us as they have a greater lifespan.

To choose a hair color on lordhair.com, first pick your desired stock toupee. After clicking on it, select the toupee hair color you desire. Then, you will see a larger image of the hair system in that color.

Getting the right hair color is very important so that is why we would recommend you check out the following guide to selecting your hair color. You will see that you also have the choice of ordering a color ring or sending in a hair sample.

For custom-made orders, we can create your exact hair color from any hair sample you send in.

Hair density refers to the amount of hair knotted onto the toupee. Typically, ranging from extra-light (60%) to medium-heavy (140%), the most common densities for men are 100% and 120%.

Hair toupees - also known as hair systems and hair wigs for men - are crafted from different materials including:

● Polyurethane (aka PU, thin skin, or poly)

● Lace (Swiss and French lace are the most common lace materials)

● Monofilament (aka mono - a plastic-like fiber used for netting)

These materials offer different types of comfort, realness, and durability.

Toupees can be categorized according to the head coverage they provide:

● Frontal hair systems cover a receding front hairline

● Partial hair systems cover a part of the top of the men

● Men's topper systems cover the top of the head for men who still have their own hair on the back and sides

● Full cap systems cover the entire head for completely bald men

Male toupees are attached using one of three things - tape, glue, or clips.

How to install a toupee using tape:

● Prepare the scalp by shaving, washing, and drying the head ensuring there is no moisture left on the head.

● Cut the tape into pieces, peel back one side of the tape, and place the pieces around the perimeter of the base of the toupee. You are welcome to add tape to other parts of the base if you wish such as in the middle.

● Starting at the front hairline, fold your hairpiece over and grip the front part in your hands. Bring it to your scalp and line it up at the front hairline in the spot where you want your hairline to start. Press hard where the tape is to push the toupee wig down onto the head.

● Start to roll the unit to the back of the head. When rolling back, pull at the toupee to stretch it. This ensures there will be no creases in your toupee wig.

● Once finished, take a small towel and place it over your head. Pull down at either end of the towel using reasonable force to ensure the tape adheres.

● Finish by brushing out the hair wig with some detangler spray. Don't worry about any hair shedding - normally, a few hair strands fall out to begin with.

How to install a toupee with wig glue:

● Follow the same initial steps for prepping the head if you were using wig tape.

● Once the head has been prepped, most men will put the glue directly onto the head, as opposed to onto the hair unit as is the case with tape. You can even apply glue to both the head and the hair unit if you would prefer.

● Let the glue dry until it becomes transparent and is still sticky but not wet. This half-dry state is optimal for then securing the hair toupee.

● You can start at the front or the back - this is often a personal preference - place and press down on either the front or the back and roll it out slowly, stretching the hairpiece to prevent any creases.

● Once the hair toupee has been placed down, put a towel on the head and pat it down firmly so it adheres well to the head.

Installing a clip-on hair system:

A prerequisite for wearing this type of hair unit is that you have some existing hair for the clips to latch onto.

● Open the clips on the hair system and place the system on the head.

● Start to clip each clip in place by pressing them with your thumbs, making sure the clips have fastened onto some of your own hair. Don't worry if the hairpiece does not fit perfectly at this stage.

● Once you have clipped the hair system in initially, you can go back and "straighten it up". Take one clip at a time, unclip it, and then reclip it exactly where you want it, so the toupee is positioned correctly.

Toupee shedding can occur due to various reasons including initial shedding, incorrect care, the natural life cycle of the hairpiece, or a product fault. If you suspect the last reason is the case, contact customer service ( support@lordhair.com ) immediately so that we can help you.

If you want to avoid premature hair shedding and want to learn to maintain your hair toupee properly, the following accessories will be indispensable to you: detangler spray, a wide-toothed comb, and a silk pillow.

Detangler spray will make the hair soft, making it easy to comb out knots. A wide-toothed comb has prongs that are set further apart than a normal comb. This also decreases the pull and means less hair will fall out of your hair unit.

Additionally, a tangle-teaser, despite not being wide-toothed, is a miracle hair brush that makes it incredibly easy to comb out the hairpiece knots with minimal hair pull.

A silk pillowcase is recommended because it causes hair to glide along the pillowcase without being pulled, unlike other materials. Using a silk pillowcase can, therefore, help to avoid toupee shedding during the night. It is especially important for those who have attached their hairpiece with wig glue or tape.

Gray hair is available with lots of our men's stock hairpieces. Gray hair options are represented by longer color codes that refer to both the primary hair color and the percentage of gray hair. For example, a toupee in color #1B30 combines color #1B (off-black) with 30% gray hair. Most sellers use synthetic hair for gray-haired toupees - particularly when the gray percentage is lower - because gray human hair has a tendency to develop a yellowish tint over time. Fully gray or high-percentage gray-haired men's hairpieces often feature gray human hair because ultimately, human hair is more realistic than synthetic hair.

Lordhair offers both varieties of gray-haired toupees.

Older men can also wear toupees. They should prioritize two factors - the percentage of gray hair and the hair density. When choosing the gray hair percentage, pick the percentage that best replicates the look you’re going for.

When deciding the gray percentage, consider the following:

● Ready-to-wear stock hair pieces come in colors with gray of 10% intervals (10% gray, 20% gray, 30% etc.).

● The gray hair of our stock hairpieces is synthetic (since gray human hair can develop a yellowish tint over time). However, for gray percentages over 60%, we will use human hair.

● Toupee hair density is usually lighter for older men, so even a medium-light may look too heavy. If in doubt, go lighter!

● Most of Lordhair stock hairpieces come in light to medium-light or medium-light to medium densities.
