hairpieces
Artificial scalp coverage
Hairpieces are artificial coverings of hair worn to disguise baldness or add volume and length.
The term covers wigs, toupees, extensions, and similar items.
Unlike wig, which can suggest costume or disguise, hairpiece often implies something meant to look natural: He's worn a hairpiece since his thirties.
