The Psychological Impact of Hair Loss
Doctors have long known that hair loss has a psychological effect on both self-image and public perception. A study done in 2009 revealed that women prefer a full head of hair. Relationship specialists have long assumed as much. Now a scientific fact proved by many different studies shows how hair recession and thinning affect dating. No wonder so many people turn to hair transplants or wigs to treat their hair loss!
A study by Nigel Hunt and Sue McHale focuses on the psychological impact of hair loss on men and women. This new study discovered a link between depression and anxiety faced by both men and women and the thought of permanent hair thinning and loss. This psychological impact can, unfortunately, get worse with botched hair repair surgery or slippage from a toupee in a crowded place.

35 million men suffer from hereditary hair loss in the United States. Many will turn to hair transplants or wigs to treat their baldness.
Disadvantages of Non-Surgical Hair Replacement Using Hairpieces or Toupees
using toupees is an attempt to use a temporary fix the permanent problem that is baldness. Some concerns and frustrations linked to hairpiece use include:
- The hairpiece feels foreign and will never really feel like real hair. At best, toupees offer only an illusion that requires constant maintenance.
- Hairpieces require daily care and adjustment to look even remotely passable as real hair.
- Hairpieces create issues with intimacy and new partners. Revealing toupee use to a partner can make for awkward conversation and possible intimacy issues. The hairpiece wearer is not likely to enjoy having his/her partner run their fingers through their hair. It can also have a dramatic effect on self-esteem.
- Weather and heavy physical activity can become a problem for men and women using wigs. As wind and rain can affect the look of a hairpiece, going out in bad weather can lead to the questioning of simple errands or events. An aversion to going out in bad weather can lead to increasing seclusion as well as feelings of anxiety and depression.
- Hairpieces create a strong sense of paranoia because, unlike natural hair, toupees have the habit of moving and looking displaced. The wearer of a hairpiece always wonders if it looks right to others and if anyone they interact with has noticed that their “hair” is not real. Anyone wearing a hairpiece would always wonder if their hair becomes a subject of conversation or even jokes. Constantly worrying if people speak negatively becomes a veritable source of stress and paranoia for a toupee wearer. It can have negative consequences on the overall quality of life and interpersonal relationships.
Disadvantages of Non-Surgical Hair Replacement: Toupee or Wig Detectability
Keen eyes can spot a toupee or hairpiece with little trouble. Telltale signs of hairpieces include:
- Lack of a natural hairline.
- Temple hair loss creates a receded temple point in-congruent with the forward and false hairline created by the toupee.
- The color discrepancy with existing hair.
- A line of separation between natural hair and the hairpiece.
- Gusts of wind and splashes of water can lift and displace the wig or hairpiece.
Given these disadvantages, Is the use of hairpieces and wigs as nonsurgical hair replacement methods worth it? It should be rather obvious what the answer to the posed question of whether to go for a hair transplant or wig is. It should come as no surprise that many people want to know how to get rid of hairpieces for good having favored hair transplants.
How to Get Rid of Your Wig: Hair Transplant or Hair Replacement System
Dr. Umar works with patients to improve the use of hairpieces or eliminate them completely. Dr. Umar has a two-step process using his revolutionary Dr.UGraft technique to better conceal hairpieces, or eliminate them entirely:
- With Dr.UGraft advanced FUE method, Dr. Umar reconstructs realistic temple points and hairlines to better blend with a partial toupee or hairpiece.
- In even severely bald patients, Dr. Umar expands the donor source. Dr.UGraft enables body to head hair transplants ( Called body hair transplant – BHT ) to create a credible-looking, full head of hair. This eliminates the need for a hairpiece all together. Traditional hair transplants that rely solely on the limited number of head donor supply cannot equal this feat.
Hair Transplant or Wigs Patient Examples
Case #1: Dr.UGraft Hair Replacement System Removes the False Look of a Toupee by the Creation of a Hairline and Temple
Before seeing Dr. Umar, the patient below didn’t have much choice between hair transplants or wigs. He’d run out of head donor supply from antiquated hair transplant procedures. He resorted to using a hairpiece or a wig. Unfortunately, the temple points did not match his facial structure, and the wig did not look real. Dr. Umar used chest and beard hair to create a realistic-looking hairline and temple points. The patient then wore his toupee behind the newly created hairline for a more believable look.

Instead of deciding between hair transplant or wigs, the patient chose a third option: integration. This allowed him to keep up the appearance he was most comfortable with, while also improving the hairline and temple points in order to produce more natural results.
Case #2: Dr.UGraft Hair Transplant Repair Enables Patient to Get Rid of His Hairpiece Forever
Before seeing Dr. Umar, this patient had disastrous results from old hair surgeries that left him disfigured, scarred, and bald. He resorted to wearing a toupee. He then came to Dr. Umar to learn how to get rid of his hairpiece and regain his confidence.
Dr. Umar performed the amazing Dr.UGraft hair replacement using donor hair from the chest, beard, abdomen, shoulders, legs, and arms. The transplanted hair created coverage and restored a full head of hair. The patient could then eliminate his use of hairpieces thereafter:

Case #3: Getting Rid of Your Hair Piece Using Dr.UGraft Hair Surgery
Before Dr. Umar, this patient with extensive baldness went to an inexperienced hair surgery clinic in his home country. The clinic did not have access to Dr.UGraft and relied only on his head donor supply for his extensive baldness. Even worse, they did not have the requisite skill for restoring severe bald states. The surgery left the patient still very bald but also odd-looking with bizarrely patterned and angled hair placement in his crown. The poor results of the surgery forced the patient to wear a hairpiece ( wig or toupee ) to conceal the embarrassing and odd hair pattern.
Dr. Umar transformed the patient to normalcy by transplanting 14,000 grafts over two surgeries using the Dr.UGraft hair replacement system. The revolutionary process allowed Dr. Umar to derive grafts from the head, beard, and chest. Following the surgery, the patient got rid of his hairpiece for good. He feels very pleased with his results and has been liberated from the thralldom of wearing a hairpiece forever.
In these videos, the patient speaks of his experience:

In the following video, the patient depicted in the above photos testifies on how Dr. Umar’s procedure has liberated him from the bondage of using a hairpiece. He says, “I can swim, be in the wind and not worry. I feel free…I am born again!”. Choosing between a hair transplant or wigs was obviously not a tough decision for this patient.
Frequently Asked Questions for Those Debating Between Hair Transplant or Wigs:
What is a hair system? What are the hair system’s pros and cons?
A hair system is a general term to refer to any method of using a prosthesis to physically cover bald areas of the head typically. Hence hair system is a collective term for wigs, toupees, hairpieces, hairpieces, hairpieces, hair rugs, strand-by-strand insertion systems, and other fanciful terms that the makers of hair rugs may choose to use in an attempt to disguise the fact that they are selling hair rugs. Consequently, hair system pros and cons are the same as listed in this article for hairpieces, hair rugs, and toupees.
Why do sellers of hairpieces call their merchandise hair replacement?
Because the use of hair rugs carries a social stigma, The sellers of hair rugs are ever innovating ways to disguise the fact that they are selling wigs or hairpieces. Apart from calling hair rugs the deceptive term hair systems, another creative way purveyors of hairpieces us in achieving this objective are by referring to the hairpiece method as “hair replacement”, “hair replacement system”, and “nonsurgical hair replacement”. All these terms are misleading and to be blunt, fraudulent. Using so-called hair systems or hair rugs does not replace hair, rather, they simply cover bald areas with a foreign substance (rug). Hair replacement is not a hairpiece or a hair system in which sellers of hair rugs mislead people into thinking, rather hair replacement refers to hair restoration surgery which is a surgical process in which hair grafts are surgically transferred from one area of the head to a bald area. Unlike hairpieces or so-called “hair systems”, this is the patient’s own hair which grows on his head normally and naturally with no need for maintenance and all the perils of a hairpiece.
I have visible scars or visible hair thinning from past hair surgeries on my head. Can Dr.UGraft FUE be used to treat my condition?
Yes. The innovations of Dr.UGraft hair replacement system can help conceal thinning hair and scarring in patients of all ethnic backgrounds, offering a better treatment method over other forms of hair transplant or wigs.
Other hair surgeons have turned me down for hair transplants in the past. Am I eligible for treatment with Dr.UGraft?
Chances are, yes! Dr.UGraft, as designed by Dr. Umar, can transplant hair from anywhere on the body to the head, allowing for the construction of the most natural-looking head of hair possible. Dr.UGraft also works with all hair types, including tightly wound hair, which other forms of hair transplant or wigs cannot treat.
If I undergo Dr.UGraft FUE transplant, can I continue using wigs after a hair transplant until the hair grafts grow in?
Dr. Umar generally recommends not using wigs after a hair transplant, especially immediately following surgery. Toupees and wigs require some kind of adhesive to remain in place on the head. This adhesive can damage transplanted hair, especially soon after the surgery itself. In general, surgical wounds from Dr.UGraft heal within a month or less. A new hair begins to grow immediately thereafter with full growth generally occurring within a year. In this video, Dr. U explains in detail how to best handle the issue of transitioning from a hairpiece after a Dr.UGraft hair transplant, in other words, things to know when using wigs after a hair transplant :
