    GlossaryWigs (Hair Systems)

    artificial hairpieces worn to cover hair loss or for fashion

    Wigs, also known as hairpieces or toupees, are artificial coverings made from human hair, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both, designed to be worn on the head. They are used for various purposes, including cosmetic enhancement, fashion, and as a solution for hair loss conditions such as alopecia. Wigs can be custom-made to fit the wearer's head and match their natural hair color and texture, providing a realistic appearance.
