A toupée is a hairpiece or partial wig of natural or synthetic hair worn to
cover partial baldness or a bsald spot. While toupées and hairpieces are
typically associated with male wearers, many women now wear hairpieces
rather than full wigs if their hair loss is confined to the top and crown of
their heads. While most toupées are small and designed to cover bald spots
at the top and back of the head, large toupées are not unknown, particularly
among television personalities. Toupées are often custom made to the needs
of the wearer, and can be manufactured using either synthetic or human hair.
Toupées are usually held to one's head using an adhesive, but the cheaper
versions often merely use an elastic band.
It has been stated that many men often know they are fooling no one with the
use of the toupée, but that the bias in Western culture against baldness is
so strong that they feel the need to have hair on their heads.
Unfortunately, in their desire for their baldness to be unnoticed, toupée
wearers often become noticed for their toupées.
Toupée manufacture is often done at the local level by a craftsman, but
large wig manufacturers also produce toupées. Both individuals and large
firms have constantly innovated to produce better quality toupées and toupée
material, with over 60 patents for toupées.and over 260 for hairpieces
filed at the U.S. Patent Office since 1790.
Toupée manufacturer's financial results indicate that toupée use is an
overall decline, due in part to alternative methods for dealing with
baldness, and to greater cultural acceptance of the condition. Interestingly
the first patent for a toupée was filed in 1921, while the first patent for
a "hairpiece", was filed in 1956 One may reasonably speculate, based
upon the date of the first hairpiece patent and the fact that over 400% as
many patents have been filed using the term "hairpiece", that the word "toupée"
carries a relatively poor brand image, that the word "hairpiece" lacks, or
does not share fully.
