Perukes, also known as wigs, have been in use for centuries as a fashion accessory and to cover hair loss. However, there are several synonyms for perukes that one can use interchangeably. One such synonym is "hairpiece," which refers to synthetic or natural hair worn over the scalp to cover baldness or thinning hair. "Toupee" is another synonym for perukes, though it specifically refers to a partial hairpiece worn by men to cover a bald spot. Finally, the term "weave" can be used as a synonym for perukes, especially when referring to hair extensions that are sewn or glued onto natural hair.
