Poeple who wear a hairpiece and blend it with their real hair at the back and sides often leave one wary eye on their diminishing real hair.
.
While their new CoolPiece hair up top remains fabulous, their temples, sides and back hair can continue to thin, both in density and texture as they approach their mature years.

There comes a point when we have to condsider, should we switch to wearing a full wig?

Disadvantage:
The hairline of a hairpiece is the most critical part, but in a wig, the temples are even more critical. This because they are viewed edge-on by people that you are facing. As long as you pay good attention to your bond it's okay, but this remains a challenging area.
.
For this reason people stay with a top hairpiece for as long as they can, and when their back and sides get too balding or too "mature and fine-looking", they sometimes go with a longer hairstyle on their first wig to help disguise the temple edge. Obviously a slicked back pony tail would be the most difficult style as compared to medium length curly hair which is the easiest.
.
One other disdvantage, or challenge, is flexibility. When we turn our heads left and right, the skin at the back of our heads stretches in amazing ways. The nape of the wig may not be able to keep up with the skin here so some torquing and rippling may occur during these head motions. But much of this can be avoided if your wig does not extend as low as the immobile skin on the back of your neck.

Advantage:
The advantage of a full wig is you can have any type, color, texture, hair that you want since there will be no remaining hair that you need to match, and it does not need to be anything like your original hair. So if you were always unhappy with the hair that you were born with, this is your invitation to escape from it.
.
For example, if your real hair was extra-light-desity, baby fine texture, reddish and gray and persistently wavy, your new hair can be like that of a top Latin model. The new you?
