Some people are blessed enough to keep consistent hair growth throughout their lives. It may turn grey but why worry when some people's hair is consistently getting thinner and shorter with age? Some will simply go bald should they get old enough. Or it may fall out due to stress. Or the roots may get permanently damaged in an accident. Should they count their blessings, simply having lived long enough for this to happen? That their stress and injuries were not more serious? Maybe, but these characters will not. Some may never have any hair deterioration but will angst anyway because their genetics determined it will not grow as long as another person's. It could go down to their knees but not be of the right curliness or texture. Sometimes it simply will not grow in the "correct" direction. Even if a character's hair grows exactly the way they like it, that doesn't mean they're willing to wait for it to do so, either. In these progressive modern times, ludicrous amounts of money are spent on head surgery, dangerously acidic products, scalp burning and prescription drugs but these old school characters will just get a wig, toupee, weave or extension to disguise their hairy issues. Of course the issue never really goes away. Characters tend to be fiercely protective of their fake hair, constantly deny the that it is not actually growing from their head, or become the frequent butt of jokes to other characters who do not respect their efforts. Any kind of fake hair drama is an example, though. Contrast Bald of Evil and Mistaken for Fake Hair. See Hairstyle Malfunction and Dodgy Toupee for comedic situations where the fake hair utterly fails to fool anyone. See Baldness Means Sickness when it's revealed their hair is fake because they're hiding an illness. |

When Kane officially unmasked and showed his face it was "revealed" that all of his hair was really only connected to his mask and that he was bald. This was, of course, the Three Month Rule at its finest because the reason we never saw Kane's face the previous times he unmasked was because of his hair hiding his face! | |

This happens all the time on America's Next Top Model. Several girls in each cycle hope and pray that their makeover will involve a long flowing weave, and usually at least one white girl will get a big blonde Brigitte Bardot weave and one black girl will get long silky black hair like Naomi Campbell. There are plenty of contestants who have no idea how to take care of their weaves which fall out in clumps everywhere and look ratty and gross, and some poor unfortunate souls who get really poorly done weaves that tear at their scalps. In Cycle 9 Bianca showed up with one of these and needed to get her head shaved. | |

In The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, Ben Franklin has to regularly eat hair or he'll become a headless horseman. (Don't ask.) When he runs out of hair to eat while stuck on a transatlantic flight, Doc McNinja tries to get him some more by cutting off the pilot's long, flowing locks. But the pilot's hair turns out to be a wig, and Ben needs to eat real hair. | |

Recurring on The Dick Van Dyke Show due to Alan Brady (Carl Reiner) wearing a toupee and being very unhappy about being bald. In particular, there was one episode where Laura inadvertently said in an interview that Alan was bald, on live television, and he got angry. He actually shows her that he has several hairpieces of varying length so that he can mimic letting it get too long and needing a haircut. | |

In WWE, tearing out pieces of hair is fairly common. Both for entertainment purposes and on accident. One episode on Smackdown specifically had Alicia Fox deriding Natalya's extensions after ripping them out. Either the three month rule was in effect or Alicia's hair, which Natalya ripped out earlier was "real". Kayfabe is a strange thing. | |

Played for drama in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Forsaken": Odo is trapped in a malfunctioning turbolift with Lwaxana Troi (who carries a flame for him) as he is nearing the limits of his ability to maintain a physical form before having to regenerate. Odo is ashamed to let anyone see him in his gelatinous state, so Troi assures him he has naught to worry about by taking off her wig for him, explaining that no one had ever seen her without a wig because her natural hair was "ordinary", and she wanted to be more than that. | |

All over the place on RuPaul's Drag Race. High-quality wigs are one of the biggest expenses in a well-rounded drag wardrobe, so if a queen shows up in a subpar or poorly styled wig, the judges and her fellow contestants, many of whom take great pride in their expensive wig wardrobe, will roast her for it. | |

Towards the beginning of Jude the Obscure, this is the first clue (both to Jude and the audience) that Jude's new wife Arabella is sleazy and dishonest; as Jude watches her undress before bed one night, he sees her take out hair extensions. She says that there's nothing wrong with wearing them and that all the ladies of high society do it, but it still leaves Jude a little uneasy. If this seems like a very puritan sensibility, keep in mind that the novel was written in 1895. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Time of the Doctor", the Eleventh Doctor has been wearing a wig because he shaved his head out of boredom. But then he gets caught in a truth field. Being unused to its effects, he finds himself, to his embarrassment, loudly announcing in casual conversation "I'm wearing a wig!!" This one was actually taking advantage of the fact Matt Smith had shaved his head for another role. A non-forced variation of Real Life Writes the Plot (the wig was necessary, but admitting it wasn't!). |

At a 2004 POW show in Florida, Mark Zout was cross dressing as Trish, to pops. Lexie Fyfe came out, ripped his wig off and choked him with it. Around the same time and location Lexie Fyfe started "SLAMmin Ladies", where hair pulling became so ubiquitous that rather take an active role in combating Jazz actively encouraged wrestlers working there to get extensions or weaves. | |

An episode of ALF deals with this indirectly. Alf runs away to a monastery for being disgraced; he learned his parents were married before he was born and on his home planet, that's shameful. Willy Tanner convinces him to come back by recounting how his own mother wore a wig, but never told him because she did not want Willy to think she was anything less than perfect. | |

Kurt Angle lost a "hair vs. hair" match. For his next few appearances, he wore a wig (strapped in place with a high-school wrestling ear protector) and insisted his hair had grown back overnight. This went on until Hulk Hogan removed the wig and placed it on his own head, taunting him later by saying "At least I lost my hair to Mother Nature, brother." From then on Kurt Angle was bald. | |

In the WKRP in Cincinnati episode "A Date with Jennifer" Les wins an award and asks Jennifer to be his date to the ceremony. He gets self-conscious about his lack of hair and buys a rather ugly toupee from one of the WKRP advertisers, but Jennifer convinces him he looks better just being himself. | |
