You must know which stage of hair loss you are at before buying a wiglet. According to Ludwig, hair loss has 3 main stages: the beginning, progressive (mid), and the advanced stage.
The first stage has minimal hair loss at the top of the head and is undetectable. You could have a small base size topper to conceal.
