How to Decide On Wearing a Hair Piece

As you can tell by the picture, the issue of a hairpiece should be taken with great consideration and research. There is nothing worse, or funnier, than a bad hairpiece, comb over, or paint job.

If you are deciding to get a hairpiece to look better for women.. Well, either do not do it, or do it right.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • self respect
  • self esteem
  • realistic view of yourself
  • money
  • excellent, reputable hair place
  • sense of humor
  1. Step 1

    Take a realistic view of yourself.
    Why are you getting hair?
    For yourself?
    For someone else?
    Are you thinking about getting new hair to become the next sex symbol of your area? Or are you thinking of getting hair to feel better about yourself?

  2. Step 2

    Think of what you want to accomplish with this new look.
    Temporary hair? The paint-on method is... well, it is something. I knew a fellow who used this method to cover thinning hair. Not convincing, nor was it flattering.
    Semi permanent?
    Tape on toupees are not the best look and is one easily discovered.
    Permanent?
    These may be expensive, but the hair is on your head, every day for everyone to see. Think about that.
    A man I know got the best, and told everyone his plans before, during and after. He looks very handsome with his hair, and earned the respect and admiration of those around him.

  3. Step 3

    How important is hair to you?
    To be honest, for those of us female types, hair is not at the top of the list to determine a "good match".
    If getting a hairpiece is very important to you, get the best. Do not expect the world to change because you have hair. If things change, great, if they don't, so what?

  4. Step 4

    Do you have a sense of humor?
    Can you handle the questions and comments that will drift your way when hair appears on your head?
    Realize that your friends, co workers and acquaintances will know that you are getting new hair. You have two choices - pretend that it is natural (earning comments and sniggers from others) or be up front about your plans and answer the questions that come forth (earning respect and admiration for your honesty and openness)

Tips & Warnings
  • Save the money and get the best.
  • if you can't afford the best, skip it and go bald until you can.
  • Go natural. If you did not have long hair before, don't get long hair now.
  • Remember your age. Nothing looks sillier than a 60 year old man, trying to pull off a fake 20 year old hair style.
  • It is OK to be bald. Some of the sexiest men around, are bald.
  • Only Donald Trump wears the comb over well, and even he has to listen to constant comments regarding his hair.
  • No one wears the paint well. It drips, leaks and LOOKS LIKE PAINT!
  • Be a man and realize that many men look so much better bald (Bruce Willis!)
  • Don't get hair for us women. We are fickle and change our minds often. We want men who are self assured and comfortable with themselves...
  • Men are not judged by their hair, so don't put all of your self worth into your hair style.
