Hairpiece and wig are both hair systems that can be worn to replace natural hair. However, the difference between hairpiece and wig is their coverage, attachment, purpose, comfort, and cost. A hairpiece covers only a specific area of the head, is attached with clips, tape, or glue, and is often used to add volume or cover a bald spot.
