Historically wigs are one of the oldest and most well know methods of disguising hair loss. The main difference between the wigs in the 1700’s and the wigs of today are their size, styles and some of the ways in which they are attached to the scalp.
The traditional way to attach a wig to the scalp is with tape or glue. The problem is that the wig can come off relatively easy, causing embarrassment in public or humiliation in an intimate setting.
To try to solve the problem wig manufacturers have developed some new and exotic sounding methods of attachment.
Some wigs are firmly held in place by actual wire loops which are surgically stitched into the scalp. While the wig hardly ever falls off, serious infection (not to mention uncleanliness and odour) easily occurs.
That’s because the holes in the scalp often don’t fully heal and close.Another method of keeping a wig from falling off is "tunnel grafting".
Pieces of skin are surgically cut out from behind the ear lobe and then implanted into the scalp to form living loops of skin, that can accept plastic fasteners which are then secured to the wig.
