Toupees Are Back. Bald Guys, Great News…
Bald guys, great news. Toupees are back! We’re not talking about the ones from the 80’s that looked like you skinned a raccoon and put it on your head. Gone are the days of people looking at you trying to confirm if you’re wearing a rug or not.
The “New” Kind Of Hair Piece
The updated toupees are some high-quality stuff. Considered “hyper-realistic”, because it is real hair, that has been stitched into a thin piece of polyester. So thin that you can sweat through it. If you’ve even woke up in a cold sweat worrying if they are back, 2024 might be your year! Take a look at this video of the process of applying it.
So this is a lot more than just grabbing your hair and plopping it on your head. I assume that’s what people who wore them did. You’re running out the door, grab your wallet, keys, and sunglasses get to your car, and realize you forgot your damn hair! Run back into the house all flustered, hoping none of your neighbors realize you’ve been bald this whole time!
Now you get your hair glued onto your head, and then get it cut into the hair you want! You can shower with this hair and won’t need to get it glued back on for 6 months. Imagine the 6 months of freedom you’re getting with these new quality toupees! If anyone ever asks one of these men what is the cost of freedom, they’ll probably tell you a couple thousand dollars. You will need to replace the hair every year or two.
Bald Men, Meet Your Queen
In the video above, the Toupee Queen, is a hair stylist named Emily whose “hyper-realistic” hair goes for an average of $2,000. If you’re bald or balding and really need to have hair, plus can spare $2k every couple of years, Emily is your girl! If you can’t spare it then you’ll just have to keep shaving your head like the rest of us peasants.
7 Surprising Hair Cleansing Methods That Go Beyond Shampoo
When it comes to maintaining our hair’s cleanliness and vitality, the majority of us turn to the trusty bottle of shampoo. But what if we told you there’s a whole world of alternative hair cleansing methods? From apple cider vinegar to baking soda, natural alternatives are gaining popularity. Many people are seeking to reduce their reliance on traditional shampoo.
One of the main motivations behind exploring alternative hair cleansing methods is the desire to minimize exposure to potentially harmful chemicals found in conventional shampoos. By turning to natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or aloe vera, people can effectively cleanse their hair without the worry of harsh additives. These ingredients are gentle on the scalp, promoting healthier hair growth and reducing the risk of chemical-induced damage.
Everything but shampoo.
The scalp produces natural oils known as sebum, which nourish and protect our hair. Traditional shampoos often strip away these oils, leaving hair dry and brittle. On the other hand, alternative cleansing methods can help restore the scalp’s natural balance by maintaining an optimal level of sebum production. By using ingredients like diluted apple cider vinegar, people can remove excess oil and buildup while still preserving the hair’s natural moisture.
Many hair cleansing products contain synthetic chemicals that can be harmful to ecosystems once they’re washed down the drain. However, alternative hair cleansing methods offer a more sustainable approach. Ingredients like baking soda are biodegradable and have a minimal environmental impact. Additionally, these alternatives are often more affordable, making them an attractive option for those looking to reduce their household expenses.
Natural hair cleansing methods.
However, it’s important to remember that everyone’s hair and scalp are unique. What works wonders for someone else might not have the same effect on you. That’s why it’s important to personalize your approach and find what works best for you. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a bit of trial and error to find your hair care soulmate.
