One of the problems with toupees and hair pieces in the past is how bad they looked. They were usually very easy to spot and really looked worse than having the bald spot in the first place. It seems like people think that a bald spot is better than trying to hide the balding and failing. Using a hair piece, or as it is now known a hair replacement system, works well if you find one that looks natural and does not stand out.
With the new base materials and hair materials it is very difficult to determine whether a person is wearing one of these systems or not. The new attachment devices will keep the hair on in a big wind, and the bond is so good that you can actually have the piece go right down to your hair line and then comb your hair back. It looks like an abosolutely natural line of hair.
