Men go bald more than women. Some of these guys prefer hiding that bare spot on their heads with a toupee. The wig usually comes with a hairpiece tape to keep the false hair in place. It gives the feeling of security that the toupee will not come off easily at the most inappropriate of times.

When buying a hairpiece tape, choose one that is close to your toupee’s color. Have a flexible nylon-toothed comb to enhance hair thickness. Make sure you have an extra toupee or two at home for “just in case” situations that may warrant the need to suddenly replace a missing or damaged hairpiece.
