Japanese wig woes

When it comes to facial hair, most Japanese men aren’t hugely hirsute, with more than a few having to make do with the likes of manufactured moustaches. Yet baldness on the other hand doesn’t appear to be that big of a problem, which, while great for the majority, makes it even more catastrophic for those considering a combover.

Thankfully though, help is at hand, with wig makers well versed in such worries.

The only problem being that, on a caricature, the pronounced parting looks passable, but on a real person, it’s positively preposterous.

    I guess the fact the parting start from the side and goes laterally back doesnt help… or the fact he de facto does not have forehead…

    The finale is… wigs = suxors 🙂
