A Bald Man Tries Semi-Permanent Hair Piece

Yeah that looks natural .... never would guess ...

Wait? Wife? Female wife?

Some men can pull off bald, some can't.

Those hairpieces run the gamut, I worked with a guy for years in an office with lighting that emphasized your every flaw, eventually I found out he'd been wearing a hairpiece all along. With a hairstyle that exposed the hairline. Had no idea, it was perfect. Another guy I met, it was blatantly obvious the moment you met him and it was very off-putting.

That poor beaver.

Straight guys are soooo boring. Also, Buzzfeed clearly doesn't have a dress code.

Looks fabulous

The last thing a hairpiece would give me is confidence. I'd be constantly mortified that someone would snatch it.

Damn the hairpiece. He needs to be treated for his serious case of lock jaw.

He also has male vocal fry. Very off putting.

It looks HORRIBLE! And it SCREAMS wig! It looks like a Nazi cut.

I've seen these before and sometimes they look amazing.

This hairpiece just looks terrible on him.

I don't see the problem.

It would have been better without that shitty haircut.

Tremendous!

I voted for "Vivian Vance wig snatch," of course.

[quote] That poor beaver.

Looks more like a possum to me

Did someone say possums?

The hair cut is more off-putting than the wig.

This one is crazy. The guy makes a bespoke "unit" for his client, gluing hair directly to his head and then clipping it down to blend it into his natural hair. There's another video where he does something similar to make a beard toupee, which seems gross.

Money does not necessarily buy you the best or most flattering hair piece.

Exhibit A: Henry Watkins

Oh that's fabulous!

R8 has probably had that fear since the Seinfeld episode about George's toupee.

I'll begrudgingly admit he looks better with it. This is a fun topic for me, as I am usually unable to spot them. Some people I know are obsessed with trying to figure out who's wearing them. (like spotting nose jobs in the wild) I have a friend who always makes me think... she recently asked if I thought CNN's Chris Cuomo wears one... still cannot be sure, but now I do wonder.

I think if it bothers someone, either a permanent solution is better, or simply a hat.

If all else fails, there's always a scalp tattoo.

I would feel weird that I have hair literally glued to my head.

R25, I know a guy who had a hair tattoo. It actually looks wonderful! He looks 20 years younger.

It just looks like closely cropped hair

R20 looks like Velcro

So natural. No one would know.

I go au natural

He has fake hair and fake teeth, and I still wouldn't fuck him.

Well fuck and stab me. My hair looks just like his, and mine's real.

How's a "Semi-Permanent" Hair Piece different from a regular Hair Piece?

Its glued in place r33....the other is a wig

Aren't all toupees glued on?

Yes, but regular wig glue allows the piece to be easily removed. They're only glued at the forehead to basically keep the wind from blowing the hairpiece off the head.. This system apparently stays glued on for a long time. I would be worried what glue that strong is doing to the scalp.

I’ve worn before and could ride rollercoasters all day and snorkel without it coming off.

Have you tried a bun?

The original hairstyle may have been too trendy for him but it looked real, and a thousand times better than whatever he did to it himself when he’s wearing the red plaid shirt.

That “chandler bing”? way he styled it looks truly awful and makes it really look like a wig - the trick with a hairpiece is to hide the hairline. He looks better with hair in every shot except the red shirt interview ones.

[bold] 🙊 EGAD !

1. The "shaved sides" haircut is fugly on anyone, real hair or otherwise.

2. He should not wear such dweebish eyeglasses. One expects to see a slide-rule in his shirt pocket.

Kind of depressing to see the people who write at Buzzfeed: nerds and fraus.

If it's glued on, how do you take it off (to shower, etc)? Do you have to use some type of thinner?

R43 a hacksaw, Rose!

I've got another, better, semi-permanent solution for this fuggo.

I know R42. Could you imagine having to fuck any of them? No wonder millennials aren't getting laid. Ugh.

I have questions.

What about the hair growing in under the hairpiece? What happens to it? It's just trapped under the wig? Does it itch? The hair maid in the vid said the wig lasts about 4 months before it needs adjustment. I guess I can't go to Great Clips for a trim, huh?

And how much do these cost? I watched the black guy one because it was so weird. They glue on Shaneequa extensions then shave them down. Another website I checked briefly says these only last about 2-3 weeks. I bet the hairs rub off. Who has the time or money to have a new head of hair glued on every few weeks?

If you watched the video R43, you would already know that you wash it like regular hair.

Buck would never have lost his hair in the first place.

I hate anyone with that horrible side cut. Every one of them should be shot directly into the Sun.

....

I assume that everyone who suffers from baldness will have a cure rather soon (they have been working on this for decades). Basically, your follicles stop producing hair (or make a much smaller strand as the follicle gets choked out). What a game changer when this new science hits the market - but my fear is what kind of back, neck, ear, palm, etc. hair it will stimulate as well? I like my men hairy, so no issue here....

For those asking how does one take the thing off to shower, etc, you don't. You don't take it off until the glue finally loses its hold. How long that takes, I don't know, but I assume it takes a few weeks. Then you go back in to have the thing glued back on.

I don't know how much these things cost (I'm betting they're thousands of dollars), but I had a friend many years ago (MHSRIP) who got one of those toupees that was weaved into his real hair around the bald spot. The piece stayed put until the real hair grew out enough to loosen the weave, then he'd have to go back in to have it removed and re-weaved, about every 6 weeks. The cost each time was a couple hundred dollars which was bad enough, but the real problem was that every time his bald spot grew larger because his real hair used to weave the toupee into would fall out by the time they removed the loose hairpiece, and it didn't grow back.

IMO it's all ridiculous. Bald men can be very sexy. And it's far sexier for a man to embrace his baldness and not be embarrassed by it, than go to such silly & expensive measures to cover up their baldness, especially when you'd look as silly as the guy this thread is about.

It looks better that Mortys

This new side cut horror looks remarkably like the hairstyles of WWII Nazi Germany

I have to agree that the haircut is shit.

It's everywhere now. Men of all ages. Lots of gays. Lemmings.

r52 my ex was starting to lose his hair and was right on top of whatever the current developments are in curing or stopping hairloss -- they're no where near a cure. There is apparently only one promising therapy in the pipeline and the results are pretty disappointing and if it comes to market at all it will be radically expensive, literally in the five-figure range.

Long hair is coming back into style....the side cut is so 10 years ago.

R55 new? It has been around for a few years.

I don't know why shaved the sides. The hair piece should blend in not stand out.

R60 the hairdresser thought it would be a stylish look for him.

I don't get Vivian Vance reference

If you buy from Morrie nobody can tell the difference.

I would not want that glue on my skin.

The 'before' pic would look a lot better if he shaved his head completely rather than having side tufts. I don't know why men do that.

It is weird how some guys can look awesome bald and others just look awful. I guess a lot depends on bone structure (Trixie Delight!). Essentially, if you're a handsome chap or not. I remember seeing this guy on the subway that had such great features, really gorgeous guy but his hair was thinning badly. He would have been a true beauty with a good head of hair.

Hair makes the difference anyway. You can take a guy that's a 6 - give him a great head of hair and it would boost him to an 8.

I don't know what I'm blathering on about. I'm bald. Big surprise.

This man measaged me on grindr earlier today ,hairpiece right?

Messaged

I think it looks really good. I’m surprised. Still, I would be so self-conscious with something glued to my scalp thinking people would be looking at me like...something is glued to my scalp. But hey, if it’s good enough for Nicole Kidman, BuzzFeed Nick may as well do it, too.

He's not just the president, he's also a client!

And yes, of course he is family.

As soon as he mentioned his wife I knew the hair wasn’t going to be believable either. I should have known when I saw the teeth.

It looks awful. Unbalanced, too thick. The alternative is a discreet transplant. I was completely vald at 25 , now at 55 years old with a transplant I have an ordinary receding hairline with a bit a bald area on my crown. It lo looks normal and is 100% better than being bald for my facial shape. Modern hair trandplants are genuinely very hard to detect provided your ambitions are reasonable. They do cost more than toupee though. Mine cost 20,000. Money well spent. Just go into it with realistic expectations.

You can go from ugly to average.

I think he's cute and pingy.

That’s great to hear, R73. A modern, realistic transplant is indeed better for most men than going completely bald. I want to see more guys choosing that option. I also want to see more guys with ass implants. They don’t have to look like the big booty cartoon characters we find and post on here a lot, they can also be done tastefully.

I dated a guy who got a transplant in his 20s. It looked so ridiculous I couldn't take him seriously. Not because he was bald but because of his vanity. Accept your body and work with it instead of against it. Natural men are 10x hotter.

[quote]This man measaged me on grindr earlier today ,hairpiece right?

I'm sure he loves you posting his pic online. You do realize you might get sued for posting that?

R67 Yes, He has made the mistake too much density. He should do a higher hairline and much thinner density and a better color match.

R67 Yes. He needs a much thinner density p, higher hairline, and a better color match. Too full and thick is a big giveaway.

#73, you paid $20,000 to look like this?

R77 lol fucking mary

Jason Alexander had a “semi-permanent hair system” made for him that he says he intentionally had designed to make him look like he is balding instead of bald.

[quote][R67] Yes, He has made the mistake too much density.

Like all fake hair wigs, pieces, etc the stylist has to properly cut and the style the hair around the client's face, or it will look bad. You cant just take a wig out of the package and plop it on hoping it will look ok.

I admit I'd be tempted to try, but I can't imagine how hot it must be having that glued to your scalp. if you've ever shaved your head and then put on a hat, it's toasty. Having something with what looks like a plastic back glued on? Ugh.

Hey R76, how much hair have you got? I’m R73 and here’s the the thing. First, nowadays provided you do a bit of due diligence you can find a good transplant surgeon and have a very natural looking result. Second, ‘accepting your body’ if you are bald can meaning looking like Uncle Fester for some people.

If you want to think in terms of celebs, try imagining Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Joe Biden as baldies.

Anyway, as I said, the equation for me was moving from ugly to average and I am very happy with the result.

Bump 💇

Saw Jason Alexander on tv a long time ago talking about his experience with “Hair Club for Men.” Every few months, they had to “scrape” his scalp to remove what he described as “smegma.” He could only tolerate it for so long.

I still think the buzzfeed guy looked better with the hair. Bald - his head looked like a giant light bulb

Bump

Ratty Korean wigs are never appealing.

Joe Biden [bold]is[/bold] bald, Helen.

Shouldn't have shaved the sides, he looks like one of those little dogs

How come he shows his son but not his wife?

Notice how they haven't cut the son's hair?

Bump

I think it looks great!

I've said it before and I'll say it again here - Dr Jake would look significantly better if he shaved his head and grew his beard out a touch more - it's a great look (I say as someone with a shaved head and beard...who also finds guys with shaved heads and beards hot as fuck)

Lookin good!
