How can you say that HCM preys on the insecurities of Hair loss? I am not pro-HCM in any stretch of the matter, but all they are is an option, a business...does Bally's prey on the insecurities of overweight people? or how about Trump, does he prey on the insecruties of the gambling addict?
It's a business, either you pay for it or you don't, its that simple.
I am BALD AND PROUD, I wore a "system" for 7 yrs and wish I never did, but HCM is not the reason why I wore a wig or why I shave my head now. I made my OWN decision.
I agree that people do have options and that HCM is a business just like any other business. And I'm not disputing the fact that some may go the HCM route based on their own convictions and beliefs. I was referring to the subtle way that they use in making one feel like their life isn't worth squat if you don't have a full head of hair. The simple statement that no bald headed men have ever been elected as President during the television age reads like this to me:
Bald men = will never achieve
Bald men = Are not attractive
Bald men = Regardless of how well you may be as President, people will only look at the dome and make their visual judgement and vote for G.W.
(as proof, when President Kennedy and Richard Nixon had their debate for the Presidency in 1960, Kennedy won the debate on a poll taken by TV viewers. In a poll taken by radio listeners, Nixon won the debate. But it wasn't because of a hair problem. Nixon sported a bit of 5 o'clock shadow and was sweating under the lights. This is the same angle HCM uses. In a nutshell, no matter what type of person you really are, If you don't "look" right, then you cannot "be" right)
What HCM says may very well have been true back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and to a certain point, the 90's. They neglect to mention that the sly look is now in fashion in the 00's.
Also take a look at their "side by side" compairasons. The "before" look looks like they all have broomsticks shoved up their a**es, with lighting designed to make them look bad. Not a single smiling guy. The "After" picture, they smile up a storm, with much better lighting. Almost like a Hollywood glamor shot. And thats what all those after pics are, glamor shots. Lets see how well the look does in an office environment with fluorescent lighting.
And nobody looks good with a frown on their faces. Even if they do have a full head of hair.
And I'm BALD and PROUD too, my friend.

Hi Steve,in answer to your question,the people I wear the piece in front of already know I wear one. Sometimes I just like going for a different look and I'm respected both ways. The people that don't know never stared at my head because my piece is very realistic looking.Also I'm not totally sly like the rest of you so even though I'm buzzed really short you could still tell I was balding. I just don't have the nerve to go totally sly yet. Maybe someday.
Don: Power to you my man. If you can pull it off, that is great. I just was not in your shoes and was curious how you did it. As I have said on here before, to each his own. It just sounds like you have 2 options.

I may be the only one here living under a rock for the past 30 years but believe it or not I actually found out about HCM from their Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_Club. Personally, I didn't have the terrible experience at my appointment that Tom described on his HCS site but I think it's good that he provides a forum for users to provide feedback, both good and bad.
FYI - I did NOT sign a cost-of-a-luxury-car contract for a head muff -
