Comments on the clue
1.An &lit would require, e.g. "top that is", and the definition of "postiche" doesn't imply "convincing", initally or otherwise.
2.Don't think it's an &lit as the whole does not strictly define wig, it makes an observation about a wig
3.Reads well as a sentence but not as a one-line def: the 'is' would need to be a comma (it's a sentence, not a def.).
