How to Choose a Frontal Hair Piece: A Complete Guide 2025

For many people, a receding hairline can be much more than a physical change. It can shake your confidence and affect your self-image. But there is a simple and effective solution that requires no medication or surgery: frontal hair pieces. These hairpieces provide immediate transformation that brings back both your hairline and your confidence.

What Is a Frontal Hair Piece?

A frontal hair piece (also called hair frontal or hairline toupee) is a partial hair system that is used to cover the receding hairline and thinning forehead. In comparison to a full hair system for men, this specialized hairpiece does't cover the entire head but is designed to only cover up the areas affected by hair loss, providing a more affordable and practical solution to early hair loss. Whether you're experiencing hairline receding or gradual forehead thinning, a quality frontal hair piece can provide instant and effective enhancement.

Why Choose a Frontal Hair Piece?

Natural Appearance

A front hair piece for men is professionally designed to mimic a real hairline, giving you an undetectable appearance. Unlike a standard men's hair system, which has to cover the entire top of head, a frontal hair piece just covers the forehead and the hairline; it is smaller and targeted to blend with your own hair, creating a natural look that others can’t tell it's a hair piece.

Instant Transformation

Unlike hair growth solutions that require months to work, frontal hair pieces provide immediate results. The hairpiece is specially crafted to create a full and natural look in minutes, making it perfect for special events or daily activities. It’s a great option for beginners looking for a fast and reliable way to deal with receding hairlines without having to go under treatments.

Free Styling

A frontal hair piece gives you unparalleled style flexibility to create the looks you want. People with transplants usually stuck with one fixed style, and it is very hard to change. With a frontal hair piece, you can part or style it left, right, even brush it back. You can play around with different styles for different occasions, whether you like to keep it professional for your daily work, tousled for weekends or polished for a wedding.

Cost-effective Solution

Why pay for a full hair system when you only need to restore your hairline? Frontal hair pieces offer the same excellent, natural look as full hair systems but at a fraction of the cost. With proper maintenance, your hair frontal can serve you for months after months. It is a smart investment for beginners.

Renewed Confidence

Hair loss can have such a major impact on self esteem, and in turn the way your engage in social situations often becomes a little awkward. A front hair piece is an amazing "quick fix" for a receding hairline and your sensitive heart! When you feel good about your appearance, you'll naturally feel more at ease in social settings.

How to Choose a Frontal Hair Piece?

Choosing an ideal frontal hair piece for yourself should be based on a number of factors. Whether breathability is important to you, how much budget you plan to invest or the level of seamlesss integration that you are after - knowing these factors will inform your decision.

Base Material

• Skin

Skin base hair frontals create a very natural look because the base is constructed from very thin polyurethane (skin) that is transparent and can be taped and glued to your scalp making it appear very natural. These long lasting male frontal hair pieces requires low maintenance, providing better value over the long run compared to lace. Though they are very realistic looking and easy to attach, skin bases are a little less breathable than lace frontals and may feel a little heavier on the head. For those who want a no fuss, long-lasting wear, skin hair frontals are a good option.

• Lace

French lace and Swiss lace hair frontals are popular among users because of their extra lightweight and breathable qualities, which are excellent for hot weather or active individuals. Although providing the most natural look, lace hair frontals require more careful handling than skin bases. They are slightly more delicate, and typically cost more, but many find the stunning natural look to be more than worth the investment.

Lordhair Custom Lace Frontal Hairpiece

Custom lace frontal hair pieces typically take 2-3 months to produce. For urgent needs, you can choose a stock lace hair system, which can usually be cut into 2-3 frontal hair pieces. If you'd like Lordhair to help you cut the hair system, you can select the "Cut to Size" service when placing your order.

Base Size

To order a frontal hair piece that perfectly covers your receding hairline, you need to get your correct base size. One effective way to measure is making a hairpiece measurement template. The following video tutorial shows you how to make one.

Once you have your template, you can give it to Lordhair's customer service or simply tell them your measurements marked A, B and C as shown in the following diagram. With this information, they can recommend a hairpiece that best fits your base size.

If you prefer not to create a hairpiece template, you can directly measure your receding hairline area. Similar to the template method, take the A, B and C measurements on your head and share them with customer service for a suitable recommendation.

If our stock frontal hair pieces don't perfectly match your measurements perfectly, consider ordering a custom hairpiece for an ideal fit.

Hair Density

Hair density can greatly affect the natural-looking of a frontal hair piece. A perfect hair frontal should match the thickness of your existing hair. If it is too light, the hairline could seem sparse or patchy, unable to mix with your natural hair. If it is overly thick, it may look unnaturally dense, drawing attention to the hairpiece.

Frontal hairpieces with medium-light to medium density are popular in the market, offering an ideal balance of comfort and a natural appearance. If you’re concerned that the frontal hairpiece you purchase might not fit, Lordhair provides free returns on your first order. Should your first hair frontal from us not fit properly, you can easily apply for a free return. We’ll arrange convenient doorstep pickup, allowing you to return the hairpiece without any fees.

Hair Color

To make the frontal hair piece integrate with your existing hair flawlessly, you need to carefully compare the hair colors before ordering a hairpiece. Select a shade that matches your dominant natural color at the roots or crown as these areas are least affected by sun exposure or styling.

You can also use color rings to match your hair color and find the best color match. Lordhair offers Black, Light Brown and Dark Brown series, allowing you to choose the shade that best suits your natural hair color.
