Hair replacement company targets gay market
Working as a sous chef and cook in restaurants Kathryn Bode found it impractical to wear wigs to hide her balding scalp.
"Most are made out of artificial material, so say you open an oven door, they melt," said Bode, a transgender woman who is in her 50s.
