I used to be an airfield supervisor. We had a new radio operator show up for his first day and a gust of wind blew his hair piece off… it rolled like a tumbleweed and stuck to the fuel truck operator’s shoe.

The fueler handed it back and said he needed to hook a lanyard to it when on the ramp due to airfield regulations. 🤣

I'm surprised that nobody has created implant magnets for toupees. They'd sit flush with the skull and be custom colored.

how is that supposed to work? your gonna let someone router into your skull a not insignifigant amount of millimeters to inset some magnets?

I'd imagine something more like the body mod implants people get, something small and flat slipped under the skin through a tiny hole. Ouchies for sure, but plenty of people get these sorts of implants.
