| has gloss | eng: A toupée (pronounced too-pay) is a hairpiece or partial wig of natural or synthetic hair worn to cover partial baldness or for theatrical purposes. While toupées and hairpieces are typically associated with male wearers, some women also use hairpieces to lengthen existing hair, or cover partially exposed scalp. The desire to wear hairpieces is a response to a long-standing bias against balding that crosses cultures, dating to at least 3100 BC. Toupée manufacturer's financial results indicate that toupée use is an overall decline, due in part to alternative methods for dealing with baldness, and to greater cultural acceptance of the condition. |

| has gloss | swe: Tupé är ett slags "fuskhår" som fästs uppe på huvudet för att täcka lokalt håravfall. En tupé kan maskera "munkfrisyr", det vill säga hår på sidorna men inte på mitten av skallen vilket annars skapar en rund kal ring. I olika filmer drivs det ofta med folk som har tupéer. |
