How confident does a man have to be to wear a wig?

How long is a piece of string?

My previous post was interjected incorrectly for some reason.

One reason hairpieces often look bad is because of the wearer. When I wore my piece and went into my hair clinic to get it serviced, I would see guys with pieces that looked so bad it was rediculous. Those who are socially unaware and artistically inept will not be able to pull it off. I knew a guy from my studio whose piece looked as good in real life as Zane's in Titanic. His girlfriend was awesome and didn't mind. He had dark hair and the color match was perfect. Therefore, people who think that all pieces look bad are mistaken. One must invest a chunk of money into the maintenance process.

I did wear a piece during the era of Titanic; however, Zane has straight, dark hair which makes it a lot easier. Back then, I was unaware of texture and hair density because I was not made aware of those options.

Barry77, you seem very jaded with regard to your experience with hairpieces, almost to the point of sounding bitter. You may have had a bad experience with them (as did I ); however, what is a kid who is 14 and who has alopecia supposed to do? Even guys who are 18 and balding may not be able to function within society without being incessantly mocked. A system may be the best option for them, especially if they look disfigured.

Hey Weedwhacker, I have 3 questions about hairpieces:

1. Does wearing a hairpiece destroy the hair that should be growing underneath the glue that holds the piece onto your head?

2. If you're with a woman and getting intimate, is it easy for her to detect?

3. How easy is it for a hairpiece to get loose and slip when you're sweating while working out?

As a piece wearer from the ages of 22 to 31 I can try and answer this one:

2. If you're with a woman and getting intimate, is it easy for her to detect?

Even if it were hard to detect, how much could you relax if she was attempting to run her fingers through your hair?

There's always the chance she could catch the edge of the lace with her nails which you would react to. If she's particularly passionate she could damage it or even pull it off.

In order to really make having sex a reality is to tell her that you don't like your hair touched which she may think is a little weird.

Alternatively you could remove the wig but I suppose then sex would be out of the question.

Thanks for the response Barry, just one more thing: does a hair piece tend to come loose when you sweat?

Yeah, well this just re-affirmed everything I thought of wearing toupees. I literally cringed reading this scenario.

I did not suffer any permanent damage to the hair that grew under the hairpiece glue. I went to a 'hair studio', and they buzzed the hair off and then glued the unit to my head. I don't know if the glue can damage the hair, though.

Your second question is where this gets complicated. If the piece is securely attached, it would be possible for her to run her hands through it and not notice. I, however, would not have dated unless the woman knew. Personally, I became paranoid about people noticing and didn't want to bother with it anymore. The fine lace systems look better than the full pieces I wore. The technology is better now.

It depends on the method of attachment. If it is glued on every couple weeks, the chances of it falling off are almost nothing. That was my experience, anyway. If it is taped on, the chances of it falling off are greater. One of the reasons I quit boxing was because I was wearing a headpiece while sparring at the gym (getting punched in the head loosened the wig). Many clinics will tell you to come in and get it glued on once per month; this is nonsense because the glue gets loose after sweating and natural moisture. I would say every 2-3 weeks.

depressed,
Thats exactly why I wouldn't consider a hair piece cause of the answer to your 3 q's. It can destroy some native hairs, women lovge to play with hair(esp when intimate,and the wind and rain)
