I’ve been getting a lot of comments about my hair during Teams meetings lately. “New hairdo?” “You hair is a bit longer, it looks nice” “Did you dye your hair a new colour”? So my hair must look good at least on video calls.
I was having my weekly catch-up call with a co-worker, and she commented that she liked my longer hairdo, and jokingly said something along the lines of “you have more hair than me now”. And then I was just very open and said, well actually I have shitty hair, I have a hair disease, it’s genetic, and I am on treatments at the moment, and my hair has improved somewhat.
And I told her I am taking prostate medication and am doing laser therapy and that I stab my head with needles. I went and got my laser cap to show her, and I wore it for the rest of the call. And she said, whatever you are doing, it is working.
I am trying to be more open about hair loss, it feels better than always having an elephant in the room.
