How to Attach Hairpieces
Hairpieces can be used to cover bald spots, to add volume to thin hair or to add drama and flare to an existing hairstyle. There are many kinds of hairpieces. Wigs and toupees are for those suffering hair loss. Hair wefts are wide sections of hair attached at their tops to thin nylon ribbon. Hair clips are attached to the back of the ribbon for easy use. Hair wefts are usually used by those with thin hair. Faux ponytails come in a variety of colors and textures and are attached either to an elastic ponytail holder or a large claw clip.
