Quote:Sorry, I don't agree with rugs. They are so obvious. You can spot them a mile away. Two guys have them at the gym I go to. One guy always takes it off, and covers his head with a hat while he works out - but it's obvious because he has a full head of hair coming into the gym, but he's bald and always wearing a doo-rag when working out. Another guy has one and wears the thing while he's working out. It's totally obvious he's wearing a piece. It's like his hair is always the same length. It's always combed over EXACTLY the same direction. It looks very un-natural and it's totally obvious he's wearing a rug. Both of those guy's are so buffed that nobody ever says anything to them about it, but everyone knows they're wearing hair pieces.

Now, I know that he is not familiar with good pieces like the ones sold here, but, he does raises a good point, even if your hairpiece looks natural and people don't suspect at first, still, how will they react to the fact that your hair never grows, that your hairstyle is always similar ?, won't people who see you everyday eventually do 1+1 and figure out ?

Never.

If there is no other reason for someone to pay specific attention to your hair NOBODY is going to notice that your hair doesn't grow. I've heard this time and time again and it's nothing more than paranoia. People do not pay that much attention to your hair!

Think about it. Most people get their hair cut every two weeks or so if they keep it short. Hair grows what? 1/4" per month? That's 1/8" that most people cut off, and that isn't much. If your hairpiece hair is 1 1/2" long, 1/8" can't even really be noticed.

Keep in mind that if you are wearing a topper, your maintenance cuts will provide a different look as well.

If you are worried about this all you have to do is change the styling from time to time, which I recommend anyway.

The fact is, I can guarantee that the person that wrote this could be six inches from me staring me straight in the face yammering away about "rugs" and have no clue I was wearing one.
