hair piece (toupee and weave)


this is a Toupee

.

toupee, its a small artificial hairpiece use to cover boldness, mostly used by men. Toupees are essentially hairpieces which are used to cover patches of baldness. while wigs are meant for the entire part, toupees are only meant for specific portions. Also, while wigs are more intricately designed in line with the desired hairstyle, a toupee maybe nothing more than a patch of hair that simply covers the said portion which is balding.

The size and spread of toupees is in direct proportion with the extent of baldness; the more bald one is, the more likely that a larger or widespread toupee would be. And as far as genders go, traditionally men have been the once to use it more due to the fact that more men than women tend to go bold, but off-late we find that there is a veritable range of toupees meant for women as well. when we go back to the ancient Roman era, we find that there was considerable humiliation or at least a feeling of disgrace associated with being bald. It is this feeling of humiliation which drove demand for toupees in a really big way. In fact even before the Romans, one can note that the Egyptians too were prolific when it came to adoption of artificial means for covering their bald parts. With toupees being a natural extension to be used. Interestingly the first instance ever of an ancient toupee was found in a tomb in Egypt.

And specific to the Romans, leaders like Julius Caesar being strong proponents of toupees who used it himself to hide his balding head. Over time, seeing their leader sporting a toupee, others followed suit with vigor.

one of the ways to add extension in your hair is by adding it in tracks. Today i did a weave in my spear time using human hair extensions. the extensions that i used come in already fixed into the wefts and all i had to do was sow it into the hair. To do this i sections the hair in small sections and cornrow the hair using expressions hair (synthetic hair used to cornrow), then using a nodal and thread i sowed the the weave in to the cornrow. This was done to add length to the hair
