IMO the only reaction that truly matters is your own....how do YOU feel about wearing? As long as you make it the best it can be- create a style that works for YOU and looks natural...then it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or how they react. I'm 23, and without my hair piece, while my face/skin looks young, my whole look is older and *not me*. You have to have confidence with these pieces...work on them, perfect them- but more importantly know that you are only restoring a piece of yourself that has been unfairly taken away from you. Alot of men wear hair pieces and I truly believe that they ARE becoming more acceptable because of how advanced they are today- just look at Enrique Inglesias. If it looks great, suits you and is natural- looking, then you have no problem, and should have no hang ups about wearing. If it improves your quality of life, you owe it to yourself...and make it clear to those who challenge you, or disaprove, that you are doing it for yourself- tell them to come back when they have to deal with MPB ..."then we can talk!"
