Chapter 1: Why is choosing a base important?
Choosing the right base for your men's toupee before anything else is the most important step, there are a few reasons for this, including:
- Some hairstyles don't suit certain bases
- Bases have different lifespans
- Some bases don't suit certain knotting methods (how the hair is tied on to the base)
- Some toupee bases don't suit certain hair densities
- How realistic a base looks depends on the base material
