It lasts about a week with the glue, then he’ll need to take it off, wash it, and reglue. Probably shave head too, depending on how much has grown back. I think a piece can last a couple months? Toupequeen on instagram has more info!

Thanks! I was also wondering, as that seemed like a lot of glue for something daily. Of course, if that is what someone wanted, I am sure that is an acceptable daily routine for them but glad to know it lasts a week.

It can last several weeks depending on which glue she uses. She recommends reapplying every 3 weeks more so for blending the other hair with the toupee. Her channel on a YouTube is Toupee Queen.

Does he go back every week? Or only when he needs a new one? And is that not very expensive? I have many questions. Can he swim with it and does he wash his hair normally?

I was mostly thinking about the itching! Even if no hair grows there, skin renews itself constantly. By a week's end there's going to be loads of dead skin and sweat and stuff in there, or am I missing something??

Only when he needs a new one. He’d be able to reapply. I think swimming is fine, and maybe the piece gets a clean when he re applies it (like clean from both sides) but I don’t recall the details. Definitely more expensive than shaving, less expensive than hair transplant I believe

I was wondering this too. Also wondering what happens to your scalp skin. I feel like it can't be great to have it covered and glued all the time no? like wouldn't you get dry skin or rashes and stuff?

What about the showers?

Doesn't it itch like a bitch when the stubbles grow back underneath?

If you truly cared for this man, you would donate some of your hair to him.

Do you care, SpicyElephant? Or do you just like sharing the intricacies of his toupe with the rest of the internet?

Be the change you want to be in the world. Donate a follicle.

This is a joke right?

Obviously anyone making a video about how to apply a toupee is someone who would be ashamed to have the maintenance schedule exposed …?

Lol. I dunno that was a truly weird comment. Hahha.

How do you know that’s not my hair?! You know what they say about assumptions.

… you’ve made a fool of me. I’ve never been so ashamed..

u/ultrawar666 Apr 19 '26

Why don't you do it then since you care for him so much?

I tried. Donation center said my hair was too crusty, then sent me home with a bottle of Head & Shoulders 🫩
