The game has changed for bald men with the introduction of man weaves–which when fitted, appears as though a man is wearing his own natural hair.
Men across the United States who have lost their hair have fallen in love with man weaves, though it’s a little expensive.
A single installation of a man weave, including special custom made hair units, can cost from $275 to $800 but for young men who have lost their hair, it’s worth the confidence it revives.
According to NPR, Robert Jenkins, who started losing his hair at 21 also lost his confidence and became depressed.
“I had a lot of low self-esteem, I started to get depressed,” Jenkins, now 28, says. “I wouldn’t go to events. I would stay in the house because I was just embarrassed,” he added.
Jenkins found man weaves and this is what he had to say about the first time he used it: “I think I was shocked because I hadn’t seen myself with so much hair for so long. I really didn’t know how to take it.”
And about his wife, he said; “She absolutely loved it.”
“This might seem a little bit much or dramatic, but I was honestly just grateful to God that we were able to find somebody that can bring that confidence back. Because I did not think that this would be possible at all.” Jenkins says. “I thought that my hair was just gone forever, that I would never be attractive … This was extremely life changing for me.”
He continued: “I thought that my hair was just gone forever, that I would never be attractive … This was extremely life changing for me.”
