hair piece

Wig or toupee

A hair piece is a covering of artificial or human hair worn to conceal baldness or add volume—a toupee, wig, or partial extension.

The term often serves as a polite alternative to toupee, which carries connotations of vanity or obvious fakeness: He's sensitive about his hair piece.

Also spelled as one word: hairpiece.
