Dimples Mens Hairpieces Hi-Tech 16x23 Fibre - £280.00

A toupee is made from either human hair, synthetic fibre or a combination of both, attached to a net or polyurethane/latex foundation and only covers the top of the scalp from forehead to crown. It can be constructed in many ways such as ready-made wefted or machine hand tied (off-the-peg), or made to measure and hand knotted (bespoke).


Bespoke toupees are generally made with human hair of European origin, with ready-made toupees of human hair being of oriental origin.  Within the ready-made toupees there can be a combination of human hair and fibre (synthetic) and it is not uncommon to have white fibre added to a human hair toupee to give the appearance of a natural greying.
