Which type of hairpiece has a base that covers the crown, occipital, and nape areas?

  1. Fall

  2. Switch

  3. Toupée

  4. Wiglet

The correct answer is: Fall

A wiglet is a small hairpiece that covers a specific area of the head, usually the top or crown. A switch is a long and narrow hairpiece that adds length to the hair. A toupée is a hairpiece designed to cover bald spots or thinning hair on the top of the head. Therefore, none of these options would cover the crown, occipital, and nape areas. The only option that covers all of these areas is a fall, which is a type of hairpiece that covers the entire head and is held in place with combs or clips.
