Losing your hair can be a traumatic and devastating experience.

There is nothing wrong with hair loss, but many of us feel more confident with hair so enhance your look with a toupee in Levittown!
What is a Toupee?
If you are unfamiliar with hair pieces, there may be some negative connotations surrounding hair pieces, especially toupees. However, toupees have come a long way in the past 10 to 15 years. Toupees can be made from either synthetic hair or human hair. Human hair toupees are made from actual human hair that has been donated to organizations making hairpieces for cancer survivors.
Synthetic hair toupees are made from man-made synthetic fibers and, although they don’t look as natural as human hair toupees, they are less expensive. Unlike a wig which is designed to cover your entire head, a toupee is designed to cover a single balding spot. Toupees can be attached by tape or, for a more permanent solution, they can be woven into existing hair.
Human Hair vs Synthetic Hair
Human and synthetic hair toupees both have their pros and cons. Human hair toupees have a natural look and will last longer than synthetic toupees if properly cared for. You also have more options for styling with human hair toupees because they can be colored, cut, styled, and permed. However, human hair toupees are more expensive, are more fragile, and the maintenance is very labor-intensive.
A synthetic toupee is far less expensive which is a benefit if you really need one and need it now. They are easy to care for and they hold their style. You can easily change your style and color by changing out the toupee. Synthetic toupees can, however, be damaged by heat or by trying to style them. They can’t be colored, they don’t last as long as human hair toupees, and some can have an unnatural shine to them.
