The article on hairpieces (The remarkable return of the toupee, 26 March) only mentioned men, but they are a godsend for women with thin hair. Baldness may be acceptable for a man, but a visible scalp is never a good look on a woman. I have always had thin, fine hair that has been the bane of my life, but after menopause this got so much worse.
I have been wearing a topper of some description for a couple of years now, and never been happier with my appearance – they have made me much more confident. I began with a not-too-thick synthetic clip-on topper, but have just had a thicker, real hair glue-on one fitted: it is wonderful! The gradual change felt easier for me than an “overnight transformation”. They are not just for men and if anything are more valuable to women.
