Touretkapsels: 12 manieren om een haarwerk voor mannen te stylen (en hoe u het juiste bestelt)

Getting toupee hairstyles to look natural comes down to matching the cut, hair direction, and density to your desired look. Today’s hair systems are designed to be cut and styled just like your natural hair, so most everyday men’s styles are possible. The real secret is figuring out your desired style before you buy, since the way the hair is tied to the base dictates how it lays. Below, we walk you through 12 popular styles, explain how to buy the right system for each, share styling advice, and answer a few common questions.

Plan your style before ordering

Three main factors determine which haircuts will work for you:

• Hair direction. Strands are tied to the base pointing a specific way. You can choose to have the hair brushed back, brushed forward, parted on a specific side, given a soft break, or left freestyle. Check out our guide to parts, breaks and hair direction to see how each option works.
• Density. Wearing too much hair is a quick giveaway. To figure out a realistic thickness for your age group, take a look at our dichtheidsgids.
• Length and wave. Standard stock pieces, like our skin bases, arrive with 6-inch hair meant to be trimmed down once it is on your head. If you want specific waves or curls, our Curl & Wave Sample Ring is a handy tool.

12 toupee hairstyles

1. Textured crop

This features a short, choppy top blended into faded sides. It is one of the most natural looks, as the short, textured hair hides the hairline well.

2. Side part

A classic, clean-cut choice. Make sure to specify a part or a break on your preferred side so the strands naturally fall into place.

3. Brushed-back style

This keeps the hair swept entirely off your forehead. You will need to select a brush-back direction so the hair flows backward without splitting.

4. Quiff

Here, the front section is styled up and slightly backward. To pull this off, ask for a brush-back or freestyle direction along with a medium length on top.

5. Messy fringe

This look pushes the hair forward with a relaxed, tousled finish. Requesting a forward hair direction allows the bangs to hang nicely over the forehead.

6. Pompadour

Known for extra height and volume at the front. It is best to stick with a moderate density so the style does not end up looking too bulky.

7. Slicked back

A neater, polished take on the brushed-back look. Stick to lightweight styling products to ensure the base material stays out of sight.

8. French crop

Defined by short hair on top paired with straight bangs across the forehead. It is a great choice if you want to cover the hairline.

9. Curly top

Features distinct curls up top contrasted by short sides. You can pick your ideal curl pattern using the sample ring, or browse our afro hair systems.

10. Wavy medium length

A relaxed style featuring loose waves kept at a medium length. For a head start, a toupet van dunne huid met lichte golf comes with this texture right out of the box.

11. Salt-and-pepper short cut

A shorter style featuring blended gray to match your natural side hair. Stock units can be ordered with toegevoegd grijs haar.

12. Freestyle

The freestyle option does not lock you into one layout, letting you sweep the hair forward, backward, or sideways. It is a good choice if you enjoy mixing up your daily look.

Nailing the haircut

Ideally, a new piece should be trimmed only after it is secured to your head, ensuring a smooth blend with your existing back and side hair. Booking a stylist experienced with hair systems is usually the safest bet for that initial cut. Alternatively, our service met vooraf geknipte basis en vooraf gestyled haar can prepare the unit before it ships. Just be sure to provide reference photos of your desired look for the haircut.

Toupee styling tips

• Stick to light, matte styling products. Heavy gels and waxes build up and make the hair difficult to wash.
• Shape your hair using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, taking extra care around the front edge.
• On a knotless V-loop unit, do not brush the hair when it is wet, especially after hot water, as this may cause shedding.
• Get regular trims for your natural side hair to maintain a crisp, continuous blend.
• Wash and condition the hair as outlined in the piece’s care instructions.

Veelgestelde vragen

How do you look after a toupee?
Clean it gently, stick to lightweight styling products, and avoid aggressive brushing. Read the specific care guidelines for your chosen base material, and swap out the piece once it wears out.

Is a toupee permanent?
No. It is a non-surgical hairpiece attached with tape or glue and taken off for cleaning. Units degrade with wear. For instance, our 0.04–0.06 mm super thin skin unit lists a replacement period of 1–2 months, and the 0.08–0.10 mm thin skin unit 2–3 months. Read more about what is a toupee and how long it lasts.

Hoeveel kost een toupet?
The price varies based on the base material, hair type, and whether you buy a stock or custom piece. Our kostengids voor toupetten explains the details.

Can people tell if you’re wearing a toupee?
As long as the piece matches your natural density and color, and features a solid cut, it is hard to spot. The most common giveaways are overly thick hair, a bad color match, or a visible base edge.

Do you shower with a toupee on?
Lots of guys shower with a bonded piece, though it ultimately depends on your attachment method. Always check the guidelines for your specific tape or adhesive, and review our guide to hair system glue for more details.
