If you currently wear a hairpiece, it’s a good bet you already know what you like and dislike about various brands and styles of hair replacement systems. There are, however, a few things to keep in mind when it comes to mens hairpieces, and these tips apply whether you have just recently starting wearing a hairpiece or you are a longtime hairpiece wearer.
The first, and perhaps most important, aspect to consider with mens hairpieces is the comfort of them. While there are many issues to consider before making a hairpiece purchase, your number one concern should be that it feels and fits right. After all, you can have the best looking hairpiece in the world, but if the fit isn’t right, or if it’s in any way uncomfortable, it is not the right choice for you. Experiment with different bases and find the ones that provide the best comfort, because those are going to be the ones you actually want to wear on a day to day basis.
Once fit and comfort are squared away, the second thing to consider is what kind of image you’re looking to convey. Hair is a pivotal part of one’s appearance, and different hairstyles reflect different personalities. If you’re looking for a distinguished, professional look, consider choosing a hairpiece that is short and clean cut. You could even try out a hairpiece that is just barely streaked with gray. While many people clamber to cover their age, showing a bit of gray can actually give you a leg up in the professional world. In some cases, it offers the impression of being distinguished, competent, and experienced. Or you might want a more youthful look and choose subtle highlights. It’s really a matter of personal preference. Don’t forget as well that one of the major benefits of mens hairpieces is the versatility they offer. You don’t need to limit yourself to one specific hairpiece. Rather, you can change at your discretion. (Unless being discreet about wearing a hairpiece is important to you. In that case, changes should only be made as would accurately reflect real hair growth, loss, or change.)
Last but not least, make absolutely sure the hairpiece you choose is of high quality. Poorly crafted mens hairpieces will not only cost you in terms of appearance, but they are also more likely to wear out quickly. This will cost you since you will need to keep purchasing new hairpieces. Some men don’t care if people know they are wearing hairpieces, but for others, this is an issue they want to keep quiet. If you do want to keep the fact private, quality becomes even more important. A low quality hairpiece can usually be easily spotted. Whether it is because of fit, cut, or quality of the materials actually used, a bad hairpiece will often look like a rug. High quality mens hairpieces, however, can pass as your natural hair.
Finding the right mens hairpieces is not always easy, but if you shop around with these three ideas in mind (comfort, image, and quality) you should be able to find a product that is the perfect fit for you.
