    Default hairpiece made of your own hair?

    why dont balding men grow their hair out and cut it and have it made into a wig for when theyre bald? or even bald men grow the back out to make a wig/hairpiece. seems like it would be the ultimate wig and would match perfectly.

    everyone always says wigs look unnatural/cant match your hair and i feel like it would inspire a lot more confidence knowing its your own hair. itd be like a hair transplant thats glued on instead of surgically attatched or even could be compared to the ultimate combover.

    it seems funny and i feel like the idea has got to be flawed because otherwise people would already be doing it but hey, just a thought.

    Your own hair in the back is growing and cut from time to time. Therefore it keeps its colour. If you use that hair somewhere were it doesn't grow it will change color and make the hairpiece visable.

    could you explain this? do natural hair wigs change color before they are made into wigs?

    Not growing human hair will lighten up in the sun and the oxygen in the air. That is the problem with wigs with human hair. They have to be dyed into the origional colour after a while.

    Normally your own hair is a selecton of colours. Together these different colours make you hairs look sparkling and give the image of one color. If you look closely however you will see all different colours.


    The problem with not growing human hairs is that they have to be dyed after a while and because hairdye cannot recognize different colours the outcome will be one single colour which is not as nice as natural growing hairs.
