Abstract: Abstract What do you do or say when an old (bald as a coot) friend suddenly pitches up in a wig? The follicly challenged are quite naturally tempted to “recapture” their youthfulness, good looks and “pull-ability” by investing often-extensive sums in a wig or hair piece. Do you pretend not to notice; comment on their fitness; or tease them gently or even unmercifully for their vanity or stupidity? A matter of taste, an indicator of friendship or a function of your emotional intelligence? What precisely is good form?
