Hair Pieces Offer An Alternative To Expensive Surgery
Did you know about 60% of men will end up with the same problem over their life time? Some of them will start dealing with this condition in their twenties and others won’t be affected till their fifties but 3 out of 5 will share this embarrassing condition. What is this almost universal health problem? It is the genetically derived condition known as male pattern baldness.
When you see a man with thinning or balding hair on top of his head there is a 95% chance he is suffering from this ailment. Up until the 1970’s the best method to deal with this problem was to purchase a hair piece or toupee. That all changed though once the movies and TV started making fun of men using this method of hair replacement. There also were problems with the attachment system and the overall look of the piece. This has changed, though, with new manufacturing techniques and adhesives used to keep the hair piece in place.
Hair pieces in the present day are unlike your old grandad’s toupee. Every single hair is injected individually into a custom made base instead of being tied. The removal of lumps from knots gives the appearance of the hair in fact growing from your scalp. This form of replacement system has actually been available for the past several decades but was only within the budgets of rich and famous actors, businessmen and politicians. If you have already been shopping for hair systems (hair pieces) for a while, you will have heard of them as the sort that actors and celebrities including Sean Connery, Burt Reynolds and William Shatner have been wearing for several years. It is just recently though that the systems have been more readily available to the ordinary hair piece user.
The advances in technology now allow the wearer to enjoy biking, running, even swimming while having his bald spot covered. The hair looks so natural that even men who comb their hair straight back from the hairline say no one knows they have a toupee.
