Do any of you guys have a firm plan what you will do with your hair as you get into your old age? Will you keep on wearing a hairpiece, ordering thinner and greyer pieces, and leave careful gluing instructions for the undertaker (LOL). Or will there come a time when you decide it is no longer worth the trouble and you just suddenly appear in public without it.
I think I am probably in the second category. When the time comes that I am no longer in the market for women, and basically my looks have gone anyway, I will probably consider ditching the piece. I would still want to do it in a way which does not reveal to everyone that I have been wearing a hairpiece for all those years, so I may gradually get thinner and smaller pieces and fade the hair out gradually.
read a credible article from a research institute. a doctor has successfully cloned 100 hairs into 1000 hairs and is testing implantation on human subjects.
results displayed that in 6 months 2/3 of hair restoration takes place
and 1 year, 4/5 hair restoration. I'll try to find it and post it up on here incase anyone is interested, but it's stupid not to be optimistic about scientific findings for years to come.
The procedure is likely to be avaialable within 2-5 years, 2010 is the ETA however it's susceptible to change.
Ted...love the undertaker comment! When I'm dead, leave me bald with an open casket service, smiling and holding my piece in my hand...that would truly be the "last laugh!"

Well, I am already old and gray. What I do is wear the wig some days and not others. It depends on how I feel or if the tape has made my head skin tender or not. Most people do not care one way or another. It is a non-issue.
My wife likes it when we go out as do I. When I swim I like to go bald. Some things just get easier when you get older and wig-wearing is one.
And yes, IMO stick some gray in there unless you are a blonde/redhead.
i just turned 50, and have been wearing sinse i was 25, and if it was not for all the scars on my head from 2 bad hair transplant's i would consider going all natural
