Here is what I have noticed
People treat me better/different when I am wearing a hat than with the thinned nw5-6 look. I don’t know how to explain it but the way they treat you, it’s just like you’re less human than them. With a hat and any type of hat, you have the benefit of the doubt and majority of people will think you like wearing hats or just think you’re weird. Still better than the treatment you get rocking the bald look.
Even if dating, maybe unpopular opinion but who gives a fck if the girl dumps you finding out you’re bald. There’s a chance the girl will not care about your baldness when she gets to know you but you lose that chance if you’re bald. Unless you’re extremely comfortable in your skin , it’s hard to pull off the bald look.
I used to wear hats all the time even during summer lmao and once one of my cousins saw me without hat and he was like wtf when did you become bald? So clearly he didn’t think I was a hatcel cause bald but just liked hats. Now I use toppik to important events but when I am lazy, I wear hats. Only my close family see me without hats or toppik rocking the thinned out bald look lol
The best reaction I get is with toppik, the guys treat you like you’re a cool normal dude to befriend and girls don’t have that look of disgust lol the next best is hats. Bald look is being like walking with a deformity
I need to find the best hat to wear indoors though when inviting people to my house, I like winters can always wear a hoodie indoor/outdoors, summers are the hardest and hair fibers are too annoying to clean up afterwards
