How do you think about your boyfriend after learning he had a hair transplant?

[b5000]

Women, I'm wondering how your perception of your boyfriend or husband changed after you found out that he'd gotten a hair transplant or wears an hairpiece.

 

Men, if you can answer on behalf of your women, that's great, too.

It's very unusual for a man to do either here, most guy's wear their receding hairlines or shave it all off. The one guy I know who did have a hair transplant, got teased by all the other guys, they still call him Michael Jackson (his first name is Mike.) to this day, and he's had a full head of hair for about 20yrs post transplant!

[ChickiePops]

The same way I looked at him before I found out.

[Els]

What? How does it even matter?

Would you expect your boyfriend to think differently of you for all the money you probably spend at the beauty salon trying to improve your appearance. Or if you had some kind of cosmetic surgery.

 

Not sure what your story is but unless something embarrasses you greatly here, you are being pretty superficial.

 

Not sure your boyfriend has such a great prize.

[BettyDraper]

I wouldn't care.

How do you think about your boyfriend after learning he had a hair transplant?

 

Well, I'd think he had more hair.

 

Are you feeling that he's somehow deceived you ???

I asked because I'm a guy and I'm considering getting one. My sister and I speculated that a future girlfriend or wife would see me as a phony after I told her I'd had one.

I wouldn't care if my bf had a hair transplant. Wouldn't change my opinion of him at all. A hair piece would be kind of weird to me though. Guess just because I've never met a man that wears one. I think I would prefer my bf just be bald.

[Mr. Lucky]

My sister and I speculated that a future girlfriend or wife would see me as a phony after I told her I'd had one.

 

To me that risk much higher with a hairpiece, including the potential for embarrassment. A transplant just becomes your hair...

I'll be honest....I've seen bad hair transplants and wondered why people do this to themselves. Much the same as when I see overdone cosmetic surgery on a woman.

[ChickiePops]

No..it's not about being phony..but most of them aren't very good. Hairpieces and comb overs are worse.

 

Just go with it buddy! Let it go.

[amaysngrace]

I know a couple guys who had plugs. Is that the same thing as a transplant?

 

Anyway they looked fine to me and would've never known if it weren't for some nasty guys cracking jokes about them.

 

I wouldn't sweat it. Any woman who dumps you over something like that isn't worth keeping around anyway.

[Cephalopod]

It's no different than some mosquito-bite chick getting breast augmentation. Hair implants today are really good, much better than they were ten years ago, and they will continue to get better.

[T-16bullseyeWompRat]

If I got a hair transplant, and a gf or wife said anything negative about it, I would kindly ask her to follow me into the restroom and just be like "wtf is all this then?" While pointing to her cosmetic products.

 

Seriously though if you were dating a woman for a while, you would know if she is superficial and the type to think it negative of you to have a hair transplant long before she would find out. Then you can just dump her before she ever knows and find one of the millions of women out there who like you for you and couldn't care less if you had a hair transplant or not.

@amaysngrace Plugs were the predecessor to modern transplant technology, which moves hairs in much smaller groups of follicles.

My boyfriend is planning on getting a transplant. He's 28 and isn't receding horribly but you can tell it bothers him. I don't care either way.

[RecentChange]

Hum, honestly I would think it's a bit of a shame that he felt so self conscious about a pretty normal thing.

 

I don't think I would judge him harshly, but like another poster said it's not much different than a breast augmentation - and I am not a proponent for cosmetic surgery.

 

I think as long as someone isn't terribly disfigured, that acceptance of ones self often will lead to longer lasting happiness than any surgery.

 

I am more understanding if it was premature hair loss, I knew a guy who was totally bald by 25, and being an outlier like that is more difficult.

 

Hair piece? Hum, if he can't shower with me, let me grab his hair in a moment of passion, was self conscious about it in public, or took longer than usual to get ready to leave the house because of it- I wouldn't be a fan.

 

My husband is balding. I know it bothers him, I think he looks great with his changed hairline - we are often our biggest critics.
