hairpiece
Wig or toupee
A hairpiece is artificial hair worn to cover baldness or enhance one's natural hair.
Unlike a full wig, a hairpiece typically covers only part of the head, such as a toupee for men's bald spots or extensions that add length or volume.
The term can also refer to decorative hair accessories worn for fashion or theatrical purposes.
He's been wearing a hairpiece since his thirties.
