Male: I can’t understand why men need to hide it. I find it repulsive in men.
Women, on the other hand, I would expect to have at least 7 layers of deceit about their appearance.

I’d be okay with fake hair or a padded bra as long as I was informed beforehand vs finding out unexpectedly.
Now a bra padded with fake hair is a whole ‘nother kettle of weird.
Actually… now that you mention it… my attraction to a woman also tends to have an inverse correlation with the amount of makeup she’s wearing.
This.
I think it’s funny that there are a lot of people who will express their dislike of “fake” things, such as hair extensions, makeup, breast implants, botox, etc. I’ve talked to many of these types in real life and the hilarity is that, while adamantly maintaining the above stance, will think a bunch of chicks are really attractive or hot, while wearing any combination of the above.
The anti-makeup is especially funny, since someone they think looks attractive and natural will have (to my trained makeup-wearing eye) concealer, powder, filled in brows, a neutral shadow with a light shimmer, contouring shadow and lengthening mascara.
Fake hair, when done “right”* just looks like… naturally pretty hair. You’ve probably seen women who just look nice to you but have clip ins on their scalp.
This.
And I should add: as a woman who wears a lot of makeup and sometimes fake hair, I certainly don’t expect to attract a man who is into truly natural woman (someone who air dries their hair and literally maybe wears chapstick). Just like the guys who date me would never be attracted to that natural girl, because they are into the prissy look.
So, perhaps that’s why I’ve never had a guy say something negative about my hair and makeup- obviously, I date guys who are into chicks with big hair and lots of makeup. No doubt, some Doper men would find me repulsive if they saw me on the street, but at least one amongst you is into chicks with false eyelashes, even if- as zweisamkeit said- you don’t know it
I air dry my hair and wear chapstick. A few times a year I wear makeup. And I haven’t started coloring my hair, either, even though gray is showing…
And I have worn fake hair on occasion. It’s just for fun! I don’t do it daily, though.
Oh, I hope it didn’t seem like I was making a value judgment based on what someone does or doesn’t do! I’m all about doing what makes you happy and feel good (and is fun!). Sorry if it came across at all like that!
I suppose the point I was making is that some guys like natural girls and some guys like made up girls. So, even though my experience directly contradicts this thread’s consensus, it’s likely just because the guys who hit on me like things like fake hair, false eyelashes, and makeup. . . otherwise they wouldn’t really be hitting on me :).
You know you totally were, you bitch.
Wooo! catfight!
Now we’ll see the benefits of fake hair.

If she rips out my weave and twirls it in the air above her head, I’m going to rage like a volcano.
I guess that’s the advantage of fake hair! If you yank my hair, I’m coming with it. Ow.
I cover my hair for religious reasons, occasionally with a wig. My husband vastly prefers me in the fake hair, because then I look ‘normal,’ and thus more attractive, as compared with me in a scarf (which makes me look ‘weird’ and ‘ethnic’) or me in a hat. Of course, I hate wearing wigs and haul mine out maybe once a month on average. It’s occasionally useful to have visible hair, but I’d rather not deal with the brain-squeezing and general fussiness. (My actual hair is long, voluminous, and very much extant - people have this idea that I’ve shaved my head or something. It’s just a limp, frizzy mass, given that curly hair doesn’t like being tightly tied up under stuff.)
A wig is far from a dealbreaker. Even if she’s bald underneath, I’ve seen some very attractive bald women; Persis Khambatta, for example, was smoking hot. It’s one more piece of wardrobe.
Now a bra padded with fake hair is a whole ‘nother kettle of weird.
I have a friend who used to drive about with a trunk full of padded bras and women’s wigs.
(No worries – she was in her late seventies, and provided the appliances to members of her breast cancer sruvivor support group.)
