How to make a human hair men’s toupee? 

All human hair men’s toupees are made with our workers with the most care. All are hand-made. For normal hair toupees, it will take about 6-8 weeks for production. For more complicated toupee and wigs, it will take about 10-12 weeks for production. If your clients need it urgently, we also have rush service.

Making a human hair men’s toupee involves several steps. If you’ve ever wondered how a toupee is made, let us walk you through the materials and steps to make a handcrafted man’s hair toupee.

Step 1: Making the mold

Pour 2 liters of water in the large bowl and hand mix it with 2kg of modeling plaster with gloved hands. Then, place the cup in between the template mold and pour all of the plaster around it and flatten the surface. Wait 24 hours for the mold to cement through

Step 2: Plaster Mold Design

Remove the plaster mold and with a polisher, smoothen the surface of mold. With a measuring tape, measure the dimensions you would like for the toupee and start marking it out on the plastic mold with pencil. Draw out the pattern for the base. This will help the sewing of the lace to be done for the base later on.

Step 3: Base Creation

Mix 400 ml of liquid glue in a glass container with 100 ml of solvent and mix vigorously for 100 times using a stirrer until a gooey glue-like texture. Using a metal spreader, spread the substance across the mold with the markings.

Step 4: Creating the Lace

Measure the lace against the mold and cut accordingly to its shape and size. Allow some slack so that you can staple them through to make the lace more secure.

Step 5: Skin Applying

Using double-sided tape, trace out the markings along the base of the mold and put some glue mixture over it. Then, pull out the double-sided tape. This forms a layer of the lace template from the dried glue-like substance.

Step 6: Trimming the Lace

Trim the access lace along the edges of the markings where the glue-like substance ends on the base of the mold using pliers. Proceed to remove the stapler bullets on the side as well carefully, without damaging the lace.

Step 7: Hair Knotting

Ensure that the hair bundle does not have any tangles by combing it through. After the base is ready, remove it from the mold. Then, the knotting process begins. Using the specialized needle for hair, start knotting each hair strand with the lace base through each lace mesh hole. This process can take up to 14 days for a normal toupee.

Step 8: Securing the Base

By now, you will be able to have a clear toupee formed, with one side of the base having hair and the other side being the base. Invert the lace base upward and staple the excess lace slack along the circumference. Then, to seal the knots from the sewing of the hair strands, apply the glue-like substance on the lace base. This will form a layer when dried to secure the strands and the lace mesh together. With the toupee still inverted, place it against a mold piece and leave it to dry in an incubator for 3 days.

Step 9: Styling the Toupee

Once dried, remove the toupee pieces and place them on a mannequin head piece. Style according to customer’s preference using the spray bottle, comb, and scissors and voila! There you have it.

Time for you to give it a shot and make your very own. You can now appreciate all the hard work that goes into the product, and you now have a better understanding of the process. You’re warmly welcomed to ask us if you have any question about it.

Hair system liquid glue refer to a professional hair toupee adhesive. It is used on any type of human hair men’s toupees. Possible you are asking if you can apply to skin and then lay the lace on top. Answer is not a good idea because the adhesive will ooze through the lace with the body heat. Best bond method is to use tape around the perimeter of the cap and now adhesive on the head. At clean up time all the glue mess is on the tape and not the cap.

Clips in human hair men’s toupees

How long does a human hair man’s toupee last?

A men’s hair toupee lifespan depends on how well it is taken care of. Like anything else, say a pair of spectacles or a handphone, if a toupee is well taken care of, it will have a long lifespan. Different types of human hair men’s toupee pieces have different lifetimes. For example, an ultra-thin skin toupee, which has a thickness of 0.03 mm would last between 3-4 weeks whereas a thin skin men’s toupee with a thickness of 0.06mm would last between 2-4 months. Let’s take a look at a few areas of interest which relate to the longevity of men’s hair toupee.

Synthetic vs Human Hair

Men’s synthetic hair toupee lasts longer than men’s human hair toupee, simply because the hair strands are made from artificial hair which has a stronger integral structure with them.

Human hair toupee strands aren’t strong and last for a shorter period of time due to being cut from humans and lack of nutritional protection.

Synthetic hair men’s toupee pieces will last for up to a long time, and real human men’s hair toupee last less than a year. Therefore, if your customer purchases human hair toupee, let them know to take good care of it, as its quality would likely deteriorate fairly quickly if not taken care of.

Care for Toupee

This brings us to the next point, which is ensuring that the toupee is well taken care of. With good protection and care, natural hair toupee pieces can last up to a long time. As a seller of human hair men’s toupee, you’ll need to cultivate a habit for your customers to care for their toupee pieces, as this will dramatically impact the quality and longevity of the piece. The product needs to be stored in a cool, dark and dry place. Other tips include using sulfate-free shampoo and softening conditioner when washing the toupee as well as never using the alcohol-based spray as that dries out the hair strands, making the overall look with the toupee to be messy.
