Julius Caesar is known to have worn a toupée. In dismay at his pattern baldness, he tried both wearing a toupée, and shaving his head. Some state that he wore his trademark ceremonial wreath to disguise his shrinking hairline. Roman men of the era were also known to paint their bald heads to appear to have locks of hair.

Many, many more fun rug facts and history:

Did you know that over 300 rug-related U.S. patents have been issued over the years? Or that Max Factor invented the lacefront job so prevalent in movies and TV? Or that rug sales have plummeted in recent years, presumably under the twin onslaught of Rogaine and Hair Club for men? :shrug:
