I Want To Be Without A Cap For Once

[Matt S]

I always use cap when I go outside. I do not like it. I feel like I look funny. But I wear it so that I do not show other people that I am bald on my crown.

Once when I was out without a cap and it was windy and I stopped outside a restaurant to cross the street, people sitting outside started laughing as I turned my back towards them. It was pretty humiliating.

I wish I can grow my hair back so that I can experience the wind flowing through my hair again, I can experience the drizzle on my hair, I can walk outside with confidence instead of always dreading going out.

ye, hairloss does suck, and I wish we wouldnt have to deal with it, but I really find it hard to believe when bald people say that random people laughing at them at the street. The are millions of balding people everywhere, why would someone just laugh at some balding dude it makes no sense. You sure they were actually laughing at you and you didnt just imagine that?
Also how old are you?

No one really thinks about you when you are outside.
No one remembers your face.
Just do your thing.

I don't think they're interested about it. It's normal to experience hairloss, as we age. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

if im completely bald i will stop wearing caps completely or only when its heavily medically indicated eg at a very hot and sunny day

why? i dont want to appear to "hide" something..

 

[Matt3535]

Yep, being honest with yourself and your body will raise your confidence and in turn make you more attractive. Hiding it is always the worst option.

I constantly get stared at when I go out, and it makes me feel so uneasy... Even when my hair loss wasn’t bad, I would get stared at for unknown reasons. Children would stare at me for lengthy periods of time, and so would adults, and it makes me wonder if something is wrong with my face... It’s hard wearing a hat during the summer; it’s awkward to wear a beanie when it’s over thirty degrees celsius outdoors. I am known for my refined appearance, in which there isn’t a single thing out of place, but hair loss ruins the now perfectionist-facade. I am certain that people do comment on my hair, I overheard someone saying something along the lines of me having the same hair as her dad! Like b**ch, could you not?

just stop wearing beanies and hats to hide hairloss...that is just pure stress

Who wouldn’t have worn a beanie when their hair was like this at eighteen years old?

Is that your forelock area?

Yeah, that was my hair pretreatment. It’s a lot better now, though... thAnK gOD

It looks like this now, although the area highlighted is causing me some impatience. Although, thats my fault because I shouldn’t have had my expectations set too high. Image is flipped, sorry!

Are you a NW3A? That is aggressive for your age. I can understand why you are treating it aggressive.

It was a NWV, apparently... It was depressing, and I knew for a fact that finasteride or dutasteride used alone would do nothing. I have been on my regimen for four and half months so far, I am waiting for the six month point.
