I had to buy a wig several years ago for a role I played. It is a pompadore style and looks like something you would expect to see on a televangelist. From the audience, it looks real; but up close, there is no mistaking it's a wig.
The whole time I was on stage, all I did was worry about the thing shifting or coming off. The tape to hold it on the scalp is not comfortable and loosens with sweat. I cannot fathom going around all day with that same worry and discomfort while wondering how many people can see it is a fake and are snickering at me.
I would gladly take the horseshoe back before ever considering wearing one of those things in public.
All those hair loss commercials really tick me off as they try to take advantage of balding men's insecurities- essentially telling them they look bad without hair.
A lot of balding guys worry about what the office will think if they walked in one day completely sly. Can you imagine the alternate scenario - balding one day and than walking in the next day with a full, thick head of phony hair?
I've reached the point where I can't understand why any guy would even want hair? These guys live in fear of losing their hair; little do they know that life without it is just fine, and in some cases, better.
