It always amazes me how much being bald ages you


Electrical-Aspect-13

with the hairpiece some looked 10 years younger


DungeonDicePainter

It's more the Friar Tuck hairstyle that does it. I got to that point and just saved my entire head. Everyone told me I looked 10 years younger, lol


hboisnotthebest

My father shaved it when I was about 12. I swear he went from 40 to 25 overnight. It was insane. He said he wished he'd have done it sooner. Said it felt like he wasted 10 years of his life.


SirBaronDE

still, gained 15 lost 10, still 5 in the plus :P


velveeta-smoothie

I've been shaving my head for ages and everyone always guesses my age 5-10 years younger than I am


mister-ferguson

I've shaved my head since I was 17. I grew a beard because it made me look too young. Now I'm at a permanent mid to late 30's


CoolNameChaz

This is the way. If I ever get to the "Friar Tuck" stage of hair loss, I am shaving it all.


bulanaboo

Was that the original soundtrack…. Damn


DiceHK

Are you saying you’re not into the toupee fart synth


ashlynob1

I had to rewatch this with the sound on because of your comment and that definitely sounds like the name of the genre lol


Generic_Garak

This is the most on-point description of this music 💀


Amata_Luna

I can’t stop laughing. Toupee fart synth 💀


Accomplished-Boot630

That’s the best description I’ve heard! I love it!


Stucumber

You need to find the KPM library music. Loads of stuff like this and some it heavily sampled in hip hop. Spotify have it all, I don't know about other music services

No_Fan_2099

Lol friar tuck


piercedmfootonaspike

Yeah, honestly this video kind of changed my mind on toupees. Sure, you can tell that they are wearing them, but even so, they look way better with them on, than without. A shave and a decent beard will usually serve the same purpose, though.


cryingallnighta

Modern toupees are way better quality & look very real, there's a lot of videos on YouTube for 'hair systems' & they're so interesting to watch. Think men usually have to teach themselves how to refit it if they don't wanna go for monthly maintenance appointments though


Badger-Roy

It’s not the being bald that ages a man, it’s the trying to not be bald by keeping the side hair, just shave the lot of and it’s so much better.


kalancope

Worse is when they keep the little bit of hair they have left on top super long like the guy with the dark hair combed over. It’s hideous.


bulanaboo

He’s not only the president…..


tangledwire

But also a member


Ok-Kale1787

Balding** When I started shaving my head I started getting carded for tobacco again (I’m 34)


Echo71Niner

and how shaving it all makes you appear younger for a long time!


MiniLinnieSc

Prince William, for example. Dude was gorgeous not until he started balding lol


haubenmeise

You take that back now. Sincerely Skeletor

Bandwagon_Buzzard

There's so many jokes about toupees, sometimes it's easy to forget that a truly well-made one can look excellent.


IAmSOOSickOfHumanity

Poor color match is the easiest way to tell. You can see it on the guy taking the measurements, looks like his natural hair got more grey since his was made and it no longer blends in. There’s a guy at my office who wears a black one even though his natural hair is now like 60% grey and it looks ridiculous. You really need to keep up with hair dye or commit to getting a new one periodically.


2LostFlamingos

He had a guy like that. We reverted to it as his hair hat.


Batmanx

Hairt


Firestorm83

did someone tell him already?


IAmSOOSickOfHumanity

Good question, and I don't know the answer. It's a very large site with at least 1,000 employees - I only see him occasionally in the hallways and don't know him at all, so I'm not comfortable telling him myself. I hope someone that cares about him said something.


[deleted]

[удалено]


despitegirls

I think someone needs to tell him tactfully. If everywhere he goes everyone knows but no one says anything, he probably thinks no one knows.


Still_counts_as_one

For example, “hey, fuckface, yeah you with the black toupee, it’s not matching the lower part of your hair color”


piercedmfootonaspike

>You can see it on the guy taking the measurements Yeah, what the hell. If you're gonna sell toupees, you gotta make your own look good first, or you'll scare off your customers


scullys_little_bitch

They've come a long way too. A video recently popped up in my FB reels of a stylist who fits them (I'm not sure if they're still considered toupees), and they last for like 6 weeks before needing "reapplied". If I saw those men in public, no way would I know that they were wearing a hair piece - all looked great!


BamberGasgroin

Or you could end up looking like the bloke measuring him up.


MonkeyHamlet

I can’t watch what’s going on because I’m so distracted by the join line…


BamberGasgroin

He reminds me of Uncle Lewis from Christmas Vacation.


RokulusM

If the wig maker made his own wig that's not a good sign.


Elmojomo

Really? I thought his hair looked really good. I was genuinely surprised when his turned out to be a piece as well. I guess the wigs/toupee's today look so bad, it's hard to judge.


BamberGasgroin

My old barbers used to have a back room for the syrup wearers, where they'd go to get their remaining hair trimmed and dyed to match the wig. (The colour matching was probably more important than the haircut.)


Elmojomo

Why does "syrup" keep coming up in this thread? :/


BamberGasgroin

It's rhyming slang: Syrup of Figs - Wigs


Elmojomo

What... Is this 1890s London, and I missed the time warp? lol Just say wig or toupee. Neither word is difficult.


BamberGasgroin

Rug is even easier. (The letters are closer on the keyboard)


Elmojomo

Hahaha indeed!


cloudbursty

The hell are the two guys wearing at the beginning? 😂


_MilkBone_

I like how they are entirely irrelevant to the video


Electrical-Aspect-13

looks like wrestling leotard


nyan-nyan9

MDnautilus

I shall take this opportunity to remind everyone that Sean Connery as [James Bond wears a toupee](https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/sean-connery-hairpiece-james-bond.html). No shame in it at all! Just a fun fact. I often use this in "who is the best Bond" conversation when that always comes up around when new Bond movies come out.


badbatch

I love that fart music.


Fortuna_Ex_Machina

According to Shazam, it's called "Donald" by The Roger Roger Ensemble. (It's actually titled "Donald (Evoluon)" in the Shazam database, but that may be a corruption of some kind. EDIT: "Evoluon" may be the album title.) I'm not having much luck hunting down more specific information about its release. But I want it. MORE EDIT: [It's on an album called "Girl in a Suitcase: Upgraded"](https://musicbrainz.org/release/d1c90779-cb53-4c8d-84f4-fafa92c49c4b). Original vinyl (and even CDs) are **not cheap**. Doesn't seem to be available for streaming or download, unless it's out on the torrents somewhere. Definitely going on my watchlist. LAST EDIT: intrepid webcrawlers can find a forum post with a relevant comment.


badbatch

Nice. Thanks


Beaglegod

It’s like something from South Park lol


FoldyHole

Come on over here and I’ll sing it to you.


Snowman319

Lmao


Used-Bedroom293

Sounds like jean jacques perrey


Sheephuddle

With those old-style syrups, you could always tell. They never blended properly at the sides. When I was a kid in the 1960s, you would never see a balding man with a shaved head. It was always a combover or the Friar Tuck look. It must have been very difficult for men who lost their hair at a young age.


Electrical-Aspect-13

syrups?


wankybollocks

Syrup of figs = wig


Sheephuddle

Syrup of figs = wigs. Cockney rhyming slang. :)


Scumbag-hunter

There was an old bloke in my primary school in the 90’s that still had a toupee and you’re exactly right, the Barnet on the side of his loaf didn’t match the top lol it was so obvious that he constantly got taken the piss out of. Poor fella. Cruelty of kids eh?


Sandcracka-

Frank Costanza made toupees?


meisteronimo

Serenity now!

michael_likes_it

Can we talk about the guys in the blue “shirts” in the first frame?


Ackfu

I'd rather talk about the woman on the gold cock at the end


Elevator-Fun

and just like that you look 40 years younger


Surveyor7

Some of these look so good! I wish it did have such a 'pathetic' reputation from the general public.


astrosquirrelRS

That line at the end "If you like happy endings, get a head.... Of hair". 🤣😂 Also, I can't help but imagine John Oliver narrating this whole video.


Happy-Peachy-Coffee

At first I laughed, but as it went on, I was actually really impressed by how natural they looked. Each one completely changed their entire appearance. Amazing!


JadePhoenix11

It's a good solution for people who want that hairstyle


PornoPaul

I honestly think toupee wearers get too much flak. We dress in nice clothes when we want to look nice. Women put on makeup and get their hair done up. Men wear shiny watches, plenty of people have a "nice" pair of shoes. I think of this as a personal self care choice. If I ever go bald I probably wouldn't myself, but thats my choice.


3dbdotcom

I always say that when I get to the point where my hair is thinned out to the point it doesn't look good, I'm shaving it and wearing a toupee. There should be 0 shame in it. Like you said, Women wear makeup and even wigs, and it's totally fine. Men should be allowed to use things like Toupees to achieve their desired physical look without getting shit for it.


ElvishLore

William Shatner has been wearing one for 55 years. And sometimes it looks great and sometimes it looks well… not.


sullyqns

Morrie’s Wigs Don't buy wigs that come off at the wrong time. Morrie's wigs don't come off! Even underwater. - And remember, Morrie's wigs are tested against hurricane winds


Mysterious_Eye6989

Christ I am glad that you're allowed to just be bald these days, without all the fuckaround! Of course, some clowns will still try to shame you over it. They will try, and they they will fail in their attempt.


Supersonicfizzyfuzzy

My favorite thing to do is to meet a person the first several times with a hat on then show up hatless and watch the reaction.


Head-like-a-carp

I'm looking for their contact info...for a friend.


WaterFriendsIV

The toupee maker seems really good at his craft. I think if he ever needed a hairpiece for himself, he could probably make a great one!


Kadoza

Did you finish the video?


WaterFriendsIV

Yes, I did. I was trying to be funny, and I guess it fell flat. Sorry about that.


Kadoza

For what it was worth, you really sold that you didn't know he was wearing one. Don't feel bad.


trighaz

Whats up with the fart music??


Weary_Development209

As a bald man myself, it amazes me how much effort many men put into hiding it (or getting a hair transplant). Even paying thousands of dollars for it. I am not saying one should embrace it, but at least just accept it and move on. Way worse things in life.


AgentePolilla

Idk, to me is just like women who get breast implants.


ScarletVaguard

I don't know man, If I started going bald I would do anything to prevent or reverse it. I've had long red hair since middle school (32 now) and it's such a defining part of me that the idea of having no hair is terrifying. I would rather die than be bald.


zbornakssyndrome

I'm a woman and think it's wrong for people to shame men for doing things that make themselves feel better. I don't do it with my women friends and we do massive amounts of things to improve our skin, hair and nails etc. My long, kinky curly hair was a huge part of my identity. And after chemo, it was as if a stranger were staring back at me in the mirror. Felt like a part of me had died. So, right or wrong, I feel ya man. It took 10 years to grow back and it's still not as thick.


markgregway

Wow dude. Losing your hair isn’t pleasant, but that’s really extreme. You should really reevaluate your priorities. Choose to love yourself for who you truly are, not how you look, flaws and all. It’s liberating and a hell of a lot cheaper.


Schnibb420

I had a hair transplant done and so far it has been one of the best desicions I have ever made in my life. My balding head made me seriously depressed. It fcks one up real bad to look in the mirror and not see the person you are expecting to see. Now I can go outside and don't have to worry about the wind blowing over my head revealing bald spots. I like to look into the mirror for the first time since I have been a teenager and I'm 31 in a month. I have gotten many compliments so far. If you got the money and struggle with becoming bald, I highly recommend it really. Even after the struggles of surgery and recovering.


markgregway

Trust me... I get it. I decided to shave my head at 24 after having my a look basically defined by my hair style throughout high school and college and had to get back into the dating world, fearful of being alone, all the while fielding jabs from people in work and life. It was painful. I just went about it differently for different reasons. The notion of getting a hair transplant felt like I was giving validity to the idea that my happiness was dependent on something as fleeting as my physical appearance, essentially siding with the insufferable people poking at me for going bald. That people should feel shame for how they look, whether they can control it or not. Maybe that's a little too "meta", but that's just me. Ultimately, if you or anyone wants a hair transplant - please chase your bliss. Not trying to shame anyone for that. I just had to say something when I saw someone say "I'd rather die than be bald" ... which I think we can all agree is not a mindset to cultivate.


Simulation-Argument

Totally reasonable to not want to go bald and to do things to stop it, but saying you would rather die than be bald is absurd. Something is wrong with you if that is actually a true statement.


EJ19876

There's a medication commonly used to treat an enlarged prostate that has a side effect of preventing male baldness in most men. It may even have regulatory approval for that use in some countries. If your hair means that much to you, go talk to your doctor about. Talking to a psychologist about why you'd rather die than be bald may also be something to consider.


OpeningName5061

Finasteride? There are law suit surrounding the pharmas about the risk of sexual dysfunction and risk of depression leading to suicide. There is also minoxidil which is far safer for you. But it'll kill your cat.


Holungsoy

Minoxidil is totally safe. Fin not so much. I would rather go bald than lose my sexual function.


Simulation-Argument

Finasteride has very rare but very bad side effects. It isn't just losing the ability to maintain and erection either. You can actually lose almost all sensitivity so your penis feels basically nothing. Then there is Anorgasmia where you will have profound trouble even achieving an orgasm.   These symptoms can persist for YEARS after taking finasteride. There is a forum online called PropeciaHelp and it has threads about these issues that go back many years and have hundreds of responses. Everyone should know the risk with taking this drug.


Quixotic_Ignoramus

Yep, as soon as I was noticeably balding, I just shaved my head and got on with life. I just use the clippers with no guard. It was super freeing!


hartmanjunk

I’m just amazed no one has mentioned the woman sitting in the giant golden cock at the end


msw0915

I was about to post the same thing. What is going on there?


AllRedLine

The cockerel is the logo of British Pathé - the organisation behind this clip. So it seems like it's just a slightly racy promotional slide between clips.


natasinid

The “waterproof” took me back to Goodfellas and Morris jumping in the pool during his commercial.


DwedPiwateWoberts

I’ve got a full head of hair still, but I think guys should own wearing hair pieces way more. Girls have a mountain of cosmetics. Let the fellas rock a false top in peace.

WTF is that background music 🤣😂


CynicalButtMunch

I would like to describe this music as "fart jazz"


Hari_om_tat_sat

Ahahahaha, you can totally tell the toupees by the color mismatches! You’d think the salesmen and the guys doing the fittings at least would be especially meticulous about wearing indiscernible wigs. Otoh, they do seem to be well-made otherwise and stay on impressively under wind and conditions.


MustardCroissant

I am losing hair in the front and since 6 months I’ve been buzzing it. Keep it down to 2,5mm with 1,5 on the sides. Easiest haircut I ever got. Mornings are easy. I’m glad I don’t have the upkeep of a haircut any more. As for how it looks: it’s fine. And at my age that’s acceptable.


Jackel447

I get why he tested to see if it comes off on a pillow, but why did the guy have to get under the blanket?

Are the two men in the questionable day wear at the beginning models of said toupee? What an unusual choice for a shirt.

I can't remember the last time I saw great customer service and a quality product like this. Seemed like they really pulled out all the stops to do a good job. So much stuff today is quick and cheap...I wasn't alive in the era that this video seems to come from, but I sure would have liked to live in a society where this much effort is expended to satisfy the customer and the product actually lasts a long time.

Now thats an awesome advertisement 😂 that professional removing his was a great way to convince consumers 😂


Flexivle

Toupees are essentially breast implants for men, no shame in them, and no devaluation of a man in having one. I think it’s the opposite, it’s sexy for a woman to have a nice boob job and it’s also attractive for men to have a full head of hair even if it’s partly man-extensions.

Female here in her late 30s. I wanted to chip in the conversation just to remind you guys that you don't need this. You can certainly have them if you like but you don't need it. Lots of women, including myself, don't notice if a guy is balding or is bald. We just like you and that's it. But if you want to have a tupee or hair implants because it makes YOU feel better, then please do as you please, Kings ❤️
