The Great Cover-up
There are no limits to the agony and expense endured by some men to conceal from the world that they are losing their hair.
They will irrigate the dying crop with globules of miracle ' gloup
They will sink to the deception of toupee and hair-weave. They will bow the neck to follicle-plucker and bare the pate to the follicle transplant. And when the game is finally up and the onset of baldness signifies to all youth flight, some will even pay to be scalped, excising by surgery the domes barren patch, and sewing together the hair-raising skin in one trans-cranial seam.
This story of four men's motives in combating their hair-loss is told with sympathy and insight by documentary producer John Percival. For he is a closet-baldy, and this is his ' coming out'.
