Hair Pieces & How To Put Them On

Hair pieces are used to create various hairstyles if your model has very fair or short hair.
Unlike wigs, they are used to cover only a part of the head, or to add volume. Men use them to cover up bald patches (those who are completely bald would have to wear a wig), and women mostly use them to add to their existing hair for lenght or volume. 
Hair pieces can be sewn in or braded if you want them to be permanent, but if you want to use them only for cetrain hairstyles, you'd use the ones with clips. Today, there are two primary materials to construct the base; mesh fabric (polyester or nylon) or polymer (silicone or polyurethane). Both have their cons and pros, and it everyone has their personal preference. For example, mesh fabric is more comfortable to wear, but more expensive and less durable, whereas polymers are cheaper and more durable, but don't look as natural and can be uncomfortable to wear.
Best hairpieces to use are made of human hair and matched with the model's natural hair colour. Less expensive hair to use is animal or artificial fibers.

To put on a hair piece you first need to section the area where you want to put it. Then take a square shaped section, twist it and attach it with grips. Place the grips in a X shape, that way the hair piece will be more secure. Pin the hair piece and cover with your model's hair, to cover up the roots and to make it look more natural.
