    Hello, I just joined

    Hi. I'm bald and wear a system. Not always. Just when I want. Normally I just wear a hat.

    Toupees are for special occasions.

        why do you wear a system? I'm pretty sure people can tell.

        If you can't grow your own hair, just be bald geez...

          I wear a system because I look about 54 bald unstead of 34 (my real age). I don't wear it all the time. A hat does me fine most of the time.

          It's only when I am going out, maybe to the movies or theatre that I like to wear one. It's not a thick system. It lies very naturally on the head. I have been told it knocks those cruel 20 years off me that baldness puts on.

                    If only fake hair could be somehow stuck to the head permanently in a totally realistic way....

                    Otherwise I am not keen. I would feel a bit of a tit with a dead badger on my head to be honest and then a big gust of wind taking it away..

                      I'd never do it either.
                      This actor however would disagree, he became a symbol for fake hair..

                      Can't say that I understand him - I mean he can afford the best HT in the world - why not implant real hair and get the same looks instead of going out with fake hair system his entire life ?

                          Is the first picture genuine, no photoshop ? I've never seen him with that state of hair. I know the 2nd picture style though, no hair at all.

                          If the 1st picture is correct, he seems to be Norwood 7, the final stage of baldness.

                            Both are genuine.

                            He must be wearing a pretty good hair piece in that photo on his website.

                            He sorta looks kinda cool with a completely shaved head, at that age he should not care. I am sure he had his fair share of women in his time. He surely doesn't need to worry about his looks anymore.

                              He's most likely Norwood 7 then. I've read here on the forum btw, that many think HT at that stage might not be a good idea. I don't know, why not, I mean he can pay 10,000+ grafts or whatever it takes, I'd choose that over a hair piece any time. But maybe he has other reasons, maybe he dislikes surgery or something like that.

                              As for the hair piece, he probably buys the best one out there.. don't know the prices, but I assume it easily costs at least a few thousand dollars and probably has to be replaced from time to time.

                              I think he still minds. I've never seen him in a tv show, interview etc. without beeing armed with a full hair piece. Anyway, I think we all mind, no one really likes to be bald.
