The bias against baldness

The reason why men want to wear hair pieces is because of the bias against baldness. Some men do take things as they come. But some succumb to societal pressures and give in. It is indeed very difficult to remain untouched from this strong bias and opposition. Hair pieces do help a lot in such cases. However, we do have renowned people like Ben Kingsley and Mahatma Gandhi, who have worn a clean shaven head with utmost dignity and pride. However, for most, it is a colossal task and is nearly impossible to pull off. Thus the use of hair piece becomes imperative. The roman poet Ovid also wrote ballads criticizing a bald person and referred to the sight of a bald man as ugly. Thus we see that there has been a long standing bias against baldness and thus it is no wonder why men flock to wig shops every now and then.
