Well I have fine brown hair that gets wavy and curly when if gets wet. I'm 55 and the aging process has been rather fun so far. I told people that I feel like and adolescent. Every time I look in the mirror, something looks like it is changing. Everyone told me how I don't really look my age. And I don't. But yesterday hit me like a ton of bricks. I thought that my hair would grow and then I would get it cut... just like since I have been a child, my hair grow and I get it cut. And I thought it would be like that until it was that time to leave this Earth. But yesterday I found out that this is not necessarily true.
Yesterday I looked in the mirror. I can see most of my hair on my main bedroom mirror as I turn the medicine cabinet open. Well for some reason I wanted to check how the back of my head was doing. I had been noticing that when it was time to dry my hair after a shower that I saw more of the light shining through my hair like I was bald. But when I turned to light off, my hair went back to looking normal. Well it happened. I took a look at the back of my hair and I saw what I now know is the classic start of male pattern hair loss. I have a bald spot on the top of my crown.
But this is really hitting me hard because not only do I want hair to grow, but I want "my hair" to go back to the original scenario. That was, I look in the mirror and I see that my hair is too long. Then I get it cut. Then it looks good.
And then it grows back.
So I'm having a lot of trouble coping with head with a bald spot with more haif to lose that looks like it is ready to leave me too and soon.
I could even see what looked to be what is in store for me. I saw the beginning of the silhouette of what looked like what my hair would look like when it is finished. And what I saw was hair left on the sides of my head. The rest of it looks like its going to leave in the near future. Maybe the next 2 years or so.
So I came here not to so much as grow my hair back, but came here for a bit of support. I feel like I lost a close friend of mine. That friend was my hair.
But the last thing I want to happen is to fall pray to some company that gives you promise that if you keep using their product, my hair start to grow again.
I can imagine after 6 months, I don't see a change. And then I email the company and say that my hair is not coming back. And then they say, "don't worry. Your hair will come back." And when I ask when it will come back, their answer will be "soon." Then when I ask when "soon" will be "now." And then they tell me "very soon."
So that's my story. All my hair is leaving me. And it is leaving me soon.
