    I think the good ones last about a year, but they're regularly 'touched up' fairly frequently.

    I just can't see it as an option. What if your delivery is missed?

    On the other hand, I think the average salary for a man with hair versus one without is easily £2,000 more a year so it would pay for itself. Apparently bald men earn about 20% less on average, as a measure.

    If I had one I'd only wear it for special occasions. Make it last longer.

    I've been fortunate in the last couple of years to do a lot of travel! In 2009 I went to Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto, Lisbon, Bilbao, Vigo, Brest and Antalya

    Not so much this year, just Norway, St. Malo and the Algarve!! Travel is good, just wish I could earn more so I could pay for it in advance instead of in arrears!

    That's a lot of hot weather. Not good for toupees.

    Well, you'd be surprised. Sydney and Melbourne were both very windy when I was there - definitely not very good for hairy hats!

    Mainland Europeans don't seem to care about image do they? The number of browning Germans walking around with balding heads, fat bellies and only wearing speedos was quite disgusting.

    You can spend less then $500 for a good hair piece. The key is how the base is designed and cut. Color and density are also a big giveaways so you need to get something with a thinner front to show some skin. If the color is right and you show some skin people will have no idea that you have a hair piece. I’ve heard on The Bald Truth that the one’s that last the longest are usually the more fake looking ones because they need to be more durable. Spencer Kobren says the good ones need to be replaced every couple of months or you need to rotate between two or three. It sounds like a big pain in the ass, but I guess people get used to it.

    I wonder if I have ever been in the presense of a really good hair system on someone and never noticed it was fake...

    Well, I wouldn't know, would I!

    I never looked out for them until I went bald. The bad ones are noticeable, but mostly only to other bald people I think. Most other people don't look that hard, in my opinion.
