If humans can have plastic electronics inserted to regulated their hearts, steel to replace bone, why can’t we simply have wigs surgically attached to us when balding?

We do, it is called hair transplant surgery. Why go through a more intense procedure for a wig that will wear out over time, when you can get real growing hair?
So you mean a hair transplantation?
You just watched Joe Dirt, didn’t you? Dang!
There are hair systems that get glued on your head and they look really good. Google for an old photo of Elon Musk and then a more recent photo. He didn’t regrow his hair.
As far as surgical implantation, that would be a waste. The hair is not alive, it breaks and wears out. You would end up bald again but would have gone through the pain/trouble of surgery instead of spending a couple hours a month at a specialty hair salon.
Isn’t that what hairplugs are?
That’s essentially what a hair transplant is, but without the extra cap matrix — the hair plugs get put directly into the skin.
Ever spent a lot of time around someone with cancer? Wigs wear out before long.
Because we sweat through our heads; permanently putting a cover on that would be a really bad idea.
