Crazy, yes, but just might work?

Basically, I have thought something up which plays on the idea of hair extensions. I'm a three quarter baldee (temples are gone back about 3/4 inches and front v is basically gone now.

When my hair gets long enough, I plan on getting a hair cut, keeping the clippings (2" in length). I went out and bought a piece of fabric to match my hair color, and what I am going to do is seal the hair into the fabric, then slick my hair back and adhese it onto my head. After that, brush my hair forward (over the fabric) and throw in some Toppik (which I usually use in heavy doses anyway).

If I'm not clearly describing it, I'm essentially trying to give myself bangs. I tried it once before (albeit more primitively), and honestly, it looked good and I didn't feel the slightest bit self-conscious about having it. No one noticed either!

My question is...has anyone ever tried something similar? I'll post pics when it's done if people are interested.

please dont!!!!!!

If you're going to go through all that trouble, why not just get a professionally made hairpiece?


And yes, I'd be interested to see how it turns out btw, please post pics.

You could always glue a baby Alpaca to each temple?

This is a peach of an idea. For hilarity and calamity.

 

[amrod]

this sounds horrendous

We're definitely laughing WITH you on this.

Absolutely... we're SERIOUSLY not laughing AT you.

Or you can just cut your balls off now and save yourself the time, money, and humiliation of being caught with a home-made hairpiece/4th-grade-art-project at a club, the bar, the bath house, or wherever you misappropriate your time.

What we have here is a classic case of necessity giving birth to invention. But in THIS case it's going too far. I'm sure you don't look that bad bald... try just getting a buzz cut and pretending like it's not bothering you. I did, and no one else even cares.

Your worst critic is yourself.

This man is either a genius or a prophet. Either way, definitely post pics.

Dude you soooooo have to do that, and make sure you post before and after pictures on the site.

I never laughed so hard in my life!!!!!

ROFLMFAO :lol:


Freddie480, dont do it man! heed Stingray's post and avoid the embarrassment!

 

[freddie480]

It's a stretch...but note: I HAVE DONE IT BEFORE. This was about a year ago before I became digital camera saavy, so I don't have any pics. I know it sounds crazy, but the only problem I had with it was that the individual hairs were falling out as time went on through the night. I'm not selling anything and have no reason to lie: it worked!

But, alas, the proof is in the pudding. I'll post pics next time.

And to the guy who recommended shaving it close and dealing with it (As a fellow male pattern baldness sufferer I feel I can say this): you couldn't be more wrong. It's sad but true, but the world we live in is a shallow one and looks matter. Sure, you could tell yourself that it's the deeper things that count - and it is - but having all of your hair certainly helps make things easier for you, whether it be in getting a job, girls, everything.

My overall feeling is that, hey, I want hair. While I can't control mother nature, I can control my own creativity. The only other thing I can think of is that we need like GQ to make male pattern baldness "the new thing" in stylish, sexy culture. Would save a lot of us a lot of time and money.

dude...imagine hanging out with a girl at your place ...girls 90% of the time will play with your hair/run their fingers through your hair...youre screwed how are you going to explain that when shes pulling strings with hairs glued on to them and says WHAT THE f***!?

When did you make your grand reappearance, Stingray? In any case, welcome back bud.

I cant wait to see those pictures.

Why don't you just hang around the back of barber and sift through their garbage cans to find a fine array of different hair colours and textures.

Then you can make lots of wigs of different colours, lengths and styles.

You may even be able to create 'highlights'.

Hey why pay for it when you can make it yourself for free.

 

[Guest]

I have never looked for to seeing someone's pictures so much.

 

[Thinning]

Man I laughed so hard I cried reading this post. This one is right up there with that dude who wanted to put sealer on his head so the hair couldent fall out.

I gotta see what that hair glued to fabric homemade wig thing looks like, I bet its a f*****g riot.

 

[Gilgamesh]

stop being so hard on the guy : where's the empathy

I understand where you're coming from : but I think you'll be self conscious and unhappy with this solution

I would suggest bleaching your hair super white by using a blue/purple based toner -> then using thickening products as well as as a tricky haircut (go to see a good stylist), then comb it down, and it will look pretty ace so long as you're not that bald yet

this is a pretty great solution for people willing to try it

here's how it worked out for me

without comb down : http://tinypic.com/4trepg
combed down: http://tinypic.com/4trerk

still sucks, but better eh?

 

[hairdilemma]

more hair locations

dont forget to save the other hairs in your body too, i mean with enough pubes and armpit hairs i have enough for a whole wig!

 

[POSITIVE YOUTH]

i've done something similar with my mop top. i super glued on long bangs to a piece of plastic and would seal it to my forehead with special adhesive. it worked fine and it looked great, i just got tired of being self conconscious in the wind. these thigns are ok in the beginning, but eventually you get tired of them.

but of course, i've still got a lot of hair int he front.

 

[gonna_win]

I rekon you replace your eyelashes with pubes.
