This reminds me of how in Latin America, maybe 60 years ago, they had a custom where if someone admired something you had, like say a pen, you would offer to give to them but they would never accept it sort of like Jerry Seinfeld with the space pen. It just strikes me as funny say if someone compliments my wig, I could take it off and hand it to them and say, "it's yours!"
That is a strange ethic but you are right about it. Bing Crosby used to only cover his crown and I think that is more easily done without people realizing but of course, the frontal scalp is exposed. People with systems should consider leaving some recession in the corners to avoid it looking too perfect and too much like a hair helmet. I always wonder how the Founding Fathers felt about their wigs. James Madison was exceptionally bald but in a world of wigs, perhaps it doesn't matter that much but back in Rome, things were more similar to now, with no wigs and largely no hats.
I think sometimes people who struggle with the way they look find it hard to accept compliments anyway. Just be happy people think you look great. Women wear make up, have hair extensions, fake nails etc to look good and feel better about themselves I doubt they feel like frauds when they get compliments.
I've literally tried them all. Literally all at this pt. Every type of base & mishmash of bases. I just had try everything, for irrational reasons. I have not tried EVERY form on Mono, but have used Mono several. Nor have I tried things like "German Lace" but you get the pt.
What would you estimate the cost to be if you could use two a month of the best available? What about hair cuts? It seemed in the olden days that they made most of their money on the jacked up hair cut costs.
Lol. Not so much for me but I looked into systems in depth in 1984 and I had this slick brochure that I carried around but then I found out that I had too much hair anyway. I am not the greatest about hygiene either. I have mostly restored my hair but I do love the look of the wig but I laugh because people know me this way and they wouldn't if I started going by my male name and look. Believe it or not, some times non-binary people have essentially two different personalities competing and it is better to pick one or the other to be out in the work world.
