For a joke, I decided to buy a hair piece, made in China. Cost? Ten pounds. Why? I was watching a lot of Dallas and Columbo episodes and kept noticing very many men wore "a rug". You can tell the 1970s pieces by the flat fringe and sort of "too good to be true" aspect. In those days, hair pieces were "in". The amazing part was the reaction I got. In the street, nobody seems to notice. 75 per cent feedback from those who know me was negative. One girl from Europe seemed to get the huff and said, "Well, if it makes you happy". Another European female winked and declared, " Who cares what they think". These days you can get pieces called "hair systems". Mine is just a net toupee that takes a minute to push on. Others are made of real hair and fitted by a hairdresser.
