    Default Hair piece/toupee

    I have read a lot of forums for the past 2 years, and tried many things. Now i want to give wearing a toupee a try. I read people saying, how you should work with a stylist, as he/she will customize it to look for natural and stuff. I have tried looking online a lot, and i don't want to be scammed again. So, if anyone could let me know how to go about this?
    I live in toronto, canada.

    Default Good luck my friend

    Id guess that you should expect to pay a lot for a decent hair system.

    A hair piece that has a cut in with a stylist is asspensive and they don't last for more then a few months.

    If I had a load of money to spend, and it bothered me that much, I'd do one of the hair pieces like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJgSiwDdcok

    That looks amazing! Hairpieces like that cost only about $300 to $500 online. The key to making them appear natural at all times it probably to use a new one every couple of months. If you have a good stylist and get the color right, they look really good.

    There are some really good prosthetic systems out there - but they are pricey.

    One of the biggest giveaways of a person wearing a hair piece is the hairline is very abrupt and there is just too much hair. I suggest you spend a little more to get better quality and have them keep the density realistic and age appropriate.

    I have considered going in to have a look at some wigs. I just don't know how it would work though... I wouldn't wear one yet but when I lose more hair, people will know straight away at work they see me one day with little hair and then the next I come in with a full head

    I think you have lost a lot of money for the wig. You can refer here with Vietnamese Hair
