These statistics carry emotional-as well as physical-implications.

STYLE provides women everywhere with access to star-quality hair fashions at affordable prices. Here are tips on selecting, wearing, caring for and styling your hairpiece. These products provide easy, attractive, fashionable solutions to hair loss - and are hair pieces that Jaclyn Smith herself would wear!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Select pieces that complement your personal style and wardrobe. When selecting hairpieces think about what will work best with your skin tone and/or best complement your natural hair and hair color. There are a myriad of options available, and the STYLE by Jaclyn Smith Collection for Paula Young® features true-to-life highlights, low lights and even root coloring for a totally realistic effect. The options are as limitless as each wearer's personality and style.

2. Don't be afraid to experiment with longer or shorter lengths, curly or straight styles. Wearing hairpieces provides you with the chance to enhance your look; you can wear a piece similar to your natural hair or enjoy the convenience of expertly styled hair.

3. Taking care of your hairpiece is easy and quick - simply shake, place and blend. Shake the hairpiece or wig gently to perk it up. Blend with fingers, brush or comb (but avoid excessive heat such as a hot blow dryer or curling iron). You will love the easy swing of a well-made hairpiece.

4. Wash your hairpiece after 6-8 wearings. Washing your hairpieces is fast, and simple. Place the wet wig on wig stand (not Styrofoam) to air dry. Comb or brush your desired style. (Do not brush curly styles; use comb or fingers to prevent damaging fibers.) Human hair wigs can also be styled.

5. Add volume with falls, hair extensions and other partial pieces. Consider partial hairpieces like falls and curls to add volume and glamour to your own hair. Many pieces are specially designed to complement and build upon the look of your own hair, including thinning hair that may need a boost. The STYLE by Jaclyn Smith collection includes over 20 styles: clever volumizers that integrate with existing hair for added fullness; luxurious falls; full-coverage wigs; and add-on pieces to create polished ponytails and glamorous updos.

6. Color me beautiful. Don't be afraid of a new color. Of course, you can match your own hair color, but sometimes it is fun to go lighter or darker. The appeal of hairpieces is that you can alter your look whenever you want with no fuss. For the new STYLE collection, Jaclyn Smith personally selected the color palette -- from her signature Caramelized Brown shade to her exclusive Rooted Colors, which are slightly darker at the roots for a more natural look. Most of the pieces retail through the catalog and website for under $100! For more information on the STYLE by Jaclyn Smith collection and latest trends in hair fashion, visit www.paulayoung.com.
