The study involved 13 men with male pattern baldness, assessed for attractiveness, self-assurance, and health with and without toupees. Toupees significantly increased perceived attractiveness, especially among older judges. Gender differences were observed in attractiveness ratings, while self-assurance and health assessments were less influenced by hair status or judge gender. This manuscript presents intriguing findings with clear language, strong conclusions, and potential to advance research in the field.
