The Great Toupee Debockle...




If you haven’t guessed already, Toupee’s have been the topic of our recent random thoughts. If you are anything like Paula and I you regularly have random thoughts about various topics including, but not exclusive to TOUPEES.

The following is the result of our recent Toupee Hunt:  

First and foremost… What is a Toupee???
Turns out a toupee is a hair piece worn by Men or Women to conceal hair loss. (who woulda thunk it???)

Hair Loss Fundimental…. hair loss in Men tends to follow a pattern?






He Looks Like he might be pushing an 8 with this doo..





I'm thinking he might just be a Prime Candidate for a Toupee? (Just a thought...)

Did You Know???

  •  At one time having a toupee was thought to be the mark of a high society man.

  • The use of toupees goes as far back as Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire, and other facts can even predate that.

  • Sales of Toupees are less than 10% of what they were at the height of their use. (Don't know when the height of the use of Toupees was, but I'm thinking it should have been a no-no all along)

  • Toupee’s are now known as a hair replacement system, wigs, or hair pieces. Today's hair pieces are said to be very natural and should be almost impossible to spot by the casual observer.
Toupee Options:
 
Full lace bases offer the most natural and undetectable look possible.
They are lightweight and comfortable to wear.









Lace front bases offer the same natural appearance of full
lace with a more durable back & a replaceable front.


 




Polyurethane bases are super thin and replicate natural skin tone.









Conventional bases will last a long time but do not look as
natural. (Hmmmm...)




You can wear a Toupee by attaching it with glue, toupee tape or clips. Most people who wear Toupees like to get the longest bond possible and use a combination of glue and tape to achieve that.

A Toupee tape options:


Toupee or No Toupee…That is the Question???
  
No really that is the question…AND...That’s the name of this game: You will need to use your keen sense of visual discrimination and figure out which ones are toupees and which ones are not. Good Luck ;)

 

          1.  Ok…Ok…this one is an easy one…

look really close you may be able to get it right.







TOUPEE is my new Favorite Word...I bet you can't count how many times it was used in this post...lol
