Men and others: Your thoughts on toupee

Lounge
1

It’s just a small wig.
No one would know, except your romantic partner or future prospect.
Is it false advertisement, but then for women, hair extensions are okay.
I’m not gonna wear a toupee or small wig.
But a little hair extension would make a comb over look way less obvious.

I think there is a lot of shaming leading to low self esteem.
Maybe cause in the past I wish there was a solution.
Would you think less of a guy you were dating if you found out his hair is not real.

To be honest my spouse lovingly makes fun of my hairline, but loves me and still with me no matter what.

Obviously the joke causes a bit of self esteem issue.
But comes from truth and it’s fine.
It does make me more aware of my hair problem to the point wouldn’t it be so easy to just put on a wig. I keep these thoughts private, cause I do know society thinks toupees are a joke.

In the end, love and acceptance of yourself is the best answer.

I don’t like them. Much prefer a shaved head. I don’t like micropigmentation either.

Some hair transplants look good tho

If it was my husband, he can wear it if he likes but I personally think just being happy with what u got is ideal.

I mean, for me, as a female if I loose significantly more hair, I’d shave bald and wear a wig sometimes wen I want to have fun with that, but not always as I don’t want to Mislead. As that’s how it feels for me.

@everhopeful yes a beard definitely helps balance out male pattern hair loss.

@broken yeah. Since my hairlines been receding, I kept my hair down. So sometimes when I slick it back, I’m shocked how far it’s receded.

@dreamer54 yeah, I’ve seen this on YouTube, some good results but a lot of people have disasters due to a bad job, also I don’t think this is an option for most men due to cost, also same with medication due to cost.

Tbh medication is a PITA. I think micropigmentation looks pretty bad as well.

I don’t mind a partner with a bald spot. But if he hid it from me for 2 months, he’s free to do that. However, that is not something I would be able to hide from a potential partner for 2 months. I’d probably even write about it in my dating profile

Interesting yeah, maybe be upfront about it is better if going that route.

Do you consider it false advertising?

That’s interesting. Must be a root origin word. Too close to be coincidence.

Maybe. It’s like shampoo originated from Sanskrit.

It’s not much different to when a woman wears a lot of make up in some cases because it can sometimes significantly change the way one looks, I know me it does.

Did not know that. True both toupee and shampoo does not sound like it came from Latin roots.

I’m bald now but I miss the days in my 20s when I had long flowing hair.

I thought about covering it up with a wig or toupee but then quickly realized how ridiculous I’d look

At my age wearing a toupee would look awful

I’ve basically accepted my baldness now
