Why do some guys wear very bad toupees?

[Gusto]

In this day and age, the term 'toupee' has been replaced with the more friendly description 'hair system'.

You usually find that the hair system in 2010 is far superior than the old toupees of the 1970s and 1980s.

Today's hair replacement systems are usually made with Swiss or French lace with graduated hairlines for invisibility.

So why oh why do some men who are bald just stick what looks like a piece of old raggy carpet on their heads?

Most of these guys are over 50 - surely their eyesight can't be fading. But more to the point, why the heck are these BAD TOUPEES still being made and sold?!
