    Youtube video: Getting wig fitted experiment - opinons?

    Just came across this video there on youtube.

    Former Nuts editor Phil Hilton gets given a full head of hair and roadtests it on the streets of London



    Any opinions? Do you think the wig really looks convincing, do you think it would look realistic for a man trying to conceal MPB? If so, any inklings as to how much (a) a wig of this quality would cost, (b) what would the monthly styling costs be and (c) how airtight and unflinching would such a system be - would wind or water make it noticeable or perhaps even blow it off?

    I made another thread about hairpieces and came away feeling that perhaps it would be a bad route, however after watching I'm re-thinking and re-considering my position.

      That looks better. The main problems I've observed with hair pieces are either that the density is too high, or the wearer has lost most/all of their temple points.

      And overall, you want a nice style as you want to look better anyway.

        The hair line looks ridiculous.

          There's nothing wrong with the system. It's the STYLIST who's at fault. She butchered that hair system and left the man who's wearing it look like a complete idiot.

          Yes, it looks fake and yes, the haircut is AWFUL. To be honest, I wouldn't dare go out in public with that thing on my head.

            A full cap with LOW DENSITY is the only solution.

              And I would say the guy in the video is himself wearing a hair system. His temple points have totally gone.

                Which one do you think looks ridiculous? In both videos, the artificial hair line looks normal and age appropriate.

                  With all respect, this finished 'hairstyle' does not look 'normal, natural or age appropriate'.



                  That guy has to be 53 if he's a day.

                    Hahaha I don't like the hair style either but the comment was about the hair line, not the hair style.

                      The first video. His hair line is way too perfect and straight.

                        I just watched the video again. The piece has an age appropriate hair line. It is not straight at all.

                              How often do you have to maintain a system? Every 2 weeks?
