We’ve laughed at toupees for decades… but the joke is getting stale. Modern toupees are shockingly real, increasingly popular, and helping millions of men take control of their confidence and appearance. So why does stigma still linger? And what’s it actually like to wear one?

In this episode, grooming journalist Adam Hurly (GQ, Robb Report, founder of Blue Print by Adam Hurly) sits down with viral hair-replacement artist Emily Cheney (better known as The Toupee Queen) to unpack everything guys need to know about hair systems: How they’re made, how much they cost, how they feel, what the maintenance looks like, and how to find an artist who will match your hair type, your vision, and your budget. Emily also explains why the first week is emotionally brutal for many guys, why more men should embrace transparency about cosmetic choices, and how a toupee can be life-changing.
