If you're balding, just get a wig. What's the point of senselessly sticking to some principle based on some macho indoctrinated bravado? I'm telling you, it looks better to wear a wig and face a little emasculation, than not wearing one and dealing with self-hate. Nobody should care. Nobody ought to care. If high heels, hair extensions, and make up are normalized for women, why can't the same be for men? Why can't we wear wigs, get shoulder pads, and wear elevator shoes that make us over 6'2?

I can't help but feel like there's uncharted potential for a lot of money to be made.

How about we stop stigmatizing baldness instead?

They have made significant strides. Heck I was just thinking about collecting my hair so that when I do go bald, I'll have a wig with my own set of hair on standby.

If I was a hairstylist/barber, I would offer "hair collecting services" for personal wigs and see if I can make that into a business enterprise.

As a black balding male with pretty short hair I heavily disagree. Wearing a wig would make me look terrible and I look considerably better bald imho

You can find good looking wigs nowadays (the popularity of cosplay is a big factor in this). The issue is long thick hair on old men looks fake since most old men can't naturally grow long thick hair.

Rip Taylor wore a hairpiece and made himself immune to this kind of thing by using it as a gag. It's strange that it seems to be based in people thinking it makes you fake? But I guess if you just throw it off all the time, nobody can say that about you.

Don't know why it's the mindset, people don't say this about dentures and such.

I dunno, I was talking to a girl wearing one, and I could see the seam where she had it glued down.

I was accidentally staring because it took me a second to catch on. Im more used to extensions in those cases than entire pieces.

Have to be careful I guess, she still looked great though.

As a guy, long hair can be a pain in the ass, but I do get compliments on it

I think I'll stick to finasteride for now. Maybe in a few years HMI 115 will be available on the market and I'll have enough money to afford it. Then I can go back to being a Norwood 0 instead of 1 or 2.

Also is longer hair acceptable if you have a bit of a widow's peak? Let's say something like this:

I get compliments on my long hair all the time, and my genetics would suggest that Im unlikely to ever lose it. However, if I was losing my hair, Id just shave it. Did that years ago when I was going through chemo and it was fine.

Looks good to me. I think people emphasize more on having "good hair" than just having plain ol' hair.

Those two have a better chance of getting a pass to an exclusive after events party than someone with no hair. Having hair gives you that chance.

I kinda agree.

If you have a weird shaped head and it makes you self-conscious... get a hairpiece or wig. If it brings you more confidence, get a wig...

Otherwise, we've come to a point where men can just shave their heads and stop worrying about it. Easiest style to maintain!

i have long hair and some people misgendered me as a female but I also get compliments most of the time.

I also need to learn how to curl my hair properly and make it last a few days.

I've been waiting 10 years to be fully bald but my head can't do it. I have the Larry David hair style but not grey yet.

I just get it buzzed down to a #1 every month or two. if I'm ever rich I'll get hair surgery
