In many ways that stigma already exists for women. Women with thinning hair can get hair extensions if they have an extra $600 in their budget every few weeks.

In many ways that stigma already exists for women. Women with thinning hair can get hair extensions if they have an extra $600 in their budget every few weeks. The economics even apply to women dealing with hair loss related to medical conditions/treatments. Insurance companies have to cover one "cranial prosthesis" a year but they're only required to offer $300 of coverage. That wouldn't even pay for the typical Comic Con wig. A mid-quality human hair partial wig is around $3,000. A quality human hair full wig is around $10,000. Women with more money (and better health insurance) are able to get the $10,000 wig while women with fewer resources are often forced to just make do.
