Hair Replacement Is No Longer Taboo

There was a time when the discovery that someone wore a hair piece, or that they'd had 'plugs' was a cause for acute embarrassment, but those days are long gone. Many celebrities, sports personalities, and respected politicians are now happy to admit they've had some form of hair replacement or hair transplant, and are positively proud of it.

And why not? When we don't like something about our bodies we tend to change it. If our skin is too pale we apply fake tan, if our legs are too hairy we shave them, if we don't like the colour of our hair we dye it, and if our teeth are a bit yellow we have them whitened. Male pattern baldness is a fact of life, just like hairy legs and yellow teeth, so there's no reason to feel bad about getting it fixed.

The Evolution of Hair Replacement

So why do we now consider hair pieces and hair transplants perfectly acceptable, when years ago they were something to be hushed up? Let's take a look at two key reasons:

The main reason is that modern hair replacement techniques are so advanced they look completely natural and aren't noticeable. Instead of looking a bit silly wearing an obvious wig that's likely to become detached in a slight breeze, men are now able to achieve a full, think head of completely natural looking hair, whether they opt for a modern fitted hair piece or transplants.

Because the overall effect is so natural, men are able to enjoy the many benefits of hair replacement, which include:

• Looking younger
• Being more attractive to potential partners
• Having more self confidence
• Making a better first impression

Now that men really do look better with hair pieces or hair transplants than without them, there's no need for a taboo around hair replacement.

The same can be said of cosmetic surgery, which is ever growing in popularity and which many people are very proud to show off about, not least because of the amount of money they've spent on it. While we might tut and mutter that they've gone too far and they're not natural anymore, we're all secretly a bit jealous about how good they look.

The other reason that hair replacement is no longer taboo is that in modern society it's become far more acceptable for men to care about how they look. Men's fashion has seen as distinct feminisation in the last few years, and it's now seen as normal for a man to splash out on a designer haircut at a salon rather than popping out to the local barber, for him to wax his chest and various other body parts, or for him to dye his hair to keep up with the current trends.

If hair can be styled, dyed and waxed, it makes sense that it can also now be replaced with no great drama or secrecy. Achieving the right look, whatever it takes to do so, has finally become more important than long held taboos or worries about what other people might think. Hair replacement is a booming industry, and with continuous advances in technology it looks set to become ever more acceptable in the future.
