Do news anchors wear wigs

Answer 1

Some do, and there are a variety of reasons for it. One common reason is that women anchors and reporters are expected to look attractive even when out in the rain or in the midst of a storm. If a female reporter has just come in from bad weather and has to go on the air, she may wear a wig so that she still looks professional. Also, some female reporters have had cancer, and they wear a wig because the side effects of the treatment include hair loss. And now and then, a female reporter may wear a wig just as a change of pace. In general, most female anchors and reporters wear their own hair. It is also true that some male anchors may wear a hairpiece (called a toupée), especially if they are losing their hair and are embarrassed about it. Not all male anchors do this-- some are comfortable with how they look, whether they are bald or not. But others feel better with a full head of hair, so they wear a hairpiece when they are on the air.
