Determining the front side of a toupee or hairpiece can sometimes be a bit confusing, but there are a few indicators that can help you identify it:
- Hair Direction: Look closely at the direction in which the hair is styled or combed. The front side typically has hair strands that are directed away from the face, towards the back of your head.
- Natural Hairline: Many toupees have a more natural-looking hairline at the front edge. This area often has finer and shorter hairs to mimic the appearance of natural growth.
- Parting or Styling Guides: Some toupees come with pre-designed partings or styling guides that indicate where they should be positioned on your head. These guides usually mark the front side as well.
- Clips or Fasteners: If your toupee has clips, adhesive strips, or any kind of fastening mechanism for attachment, these are generally placed towards the backside to secure it in place while keeping the front looking seamless and natural.
- Labeling: In some cases, manufacturers may label their products with tags indicating which side is meant to be placed at the front.
