Men Trade TV For Tresses
By Hayley Birch
If there’s one sure fire way to wind up your man, it’s by drawing attention to his rapidly expanding forehead. Or if you prefer, his receding hairline.
But don’t be too hard on the poor chap gals; hair loss is a serious issue and teasing him could cause lasting psychological damage. So much so that most balding guys would gladly give their right arms for a decent hair-do. Well, perhaps an arm is pushing it, but a new survey says 13% would at least trade their plasma TV.
According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), in fact, over half would be happy to hand over personal possessions in exchange for full heads of hair. More than a quarter would swap a stereo system and 17% an expensive motor. President of the ISHRS, Paul Cotterill explained, "This survey confirms that men place an extremely high value on their hair and would go to great lengths to restore it - even if it means giving up something valuable to them".
Just to clarify, this is all hypothetically speaking. Clearly though, there’s a market for this kind of thing and the ISHRS are on the case. Soon you’ll be able to turn up at the hair restoration clinic with an Audi and leave half an hour later with an afro (on your roller boots of course).
