@Triffen There's a huge amount of value that society assigns to having good hair, thick and well kept. Especially women, for a long long time: In a lot of cultures it's referred to as your crown, sometimes literally when you braid it up in a braid crown. It's much worse for women, even with gray hair, and the fairly misogynistic ideal of a "fertile woman" - which is why women cutting off their hair was such a big deal, why wouldn't you advertise that you'd be a good and healthy baby factory, etc. 😄 There's also a lot of ableism there, only sick and feeble people don't have a long glorious locks, and only people who have them are hot! It's a lot.

I could have ended up on medication that makes you lose your hair, so I thought about it a lot. Wearing a wig isn't that different from wearing clothes, since it doesn't go IN your body, just on it. (part 2 incoming)
