The French term postiche (meaning "added hair")...connotes the working in human hair separated from the head and its preparation for the purposes of personal adornment...[i.e.,] artificial hair... [T]he purpose of which is not so much to cover baldness as to decorate, or to extend, prevailing coiffures, for example, coloured wigs, pincurls, eye-pieces, etc. ...the art of making postiche [has] apparently no limit to its possibilities."
