Japan, TV

Hair for life

12.20.05 | 1 Comment

Perhaps the best advert on Japanese television is for Hair for life. This is a company which sticks hair on your balding head. There are several of these adverts – all done to classical music which feature three middle aged men who are each balding in a different way having hair attached to their scalps. In one of the adverts they stick strands of this hair onto a finger and pull sharply on it to show how well it sticks.

Speaking as one whose forehead size is gradually growing like a desert situated next to a retreating rainforest, I still can`t understand why people choose to wear wigs. Surely a bald man who turns up to work or his work`s baseball game the next day with a full head of hair would be ridiculed. It`s hard not to go unnoticed and it somewhat defeats the point. Stick with your barcode haircuts or shave it all off! Stand proud with your naked head held high my fellow balding brethren!
