Hi guys,
I used to be known as hope4hairredex a while back. Used to know UCman and a few others.
I was a negative, really negative poster back then. I've changed so much from circa 18 to 28 now.
I look back and smile at some of my old posts as I was so deluded.
Anyway, I guess I just wanted some advice and inspiration. My hair on top is slowly thinning. And you know what ? f*** it. I'm OK with it. I've had a good run and I am willing to accept that this was always going to be the next stage.
I guess the top part by my forehead has been ever so slowly thinning now for sometime. My 13 year old step sister even remarked that my hair was thinning. That actually was hard to hear. I guess kids notice sh*t adults don't. It made me realise that it's clearly not just something I notice but other people could see too. Although I know at this stage of my hairloss the average adult wouldn't really care or notice.
Anyway. I am getting closer and closer to thinking - why not just bloody shave it ? I'm single, I've got nothing to lose. Because if I'm heading that way anyway, I almost feel the sooner I get it over and done, the better off I'll be.
The reality is, I still probably notice it way more than others right now. So, part of me thinks, it makes sense to keep it so I can continue getting laid and dating before I literally have a dome for a head..But, sooner or later, I'm gonna have to buy a good pair of clippers and do the business.
And then, I want to try and build my shaved look. Start to put on some muscle and make the look work for me. Being bald and thin, generally doesn't work. The bald muscular stereotype is of course an abused cliche by this point but nonetheless, I realise its pretty true. My bald thin friends end up looking quite emo, weak and sometimes sick. Where as bald and muscular, a la Jason Statham, and you have something to work with.
When did you guys take the plunge to shave ? Or when will you consider it?
For me, I'm certainly getting close to the end of my tether considering my hair thinning on top - although its only just noticible. But, I know there will come a time, perhaps in six months, a year, or sooner, that I'll start to get tired of looking at my thinning patch.
Hope you are well my balding brothers.
