I agree to be honest. I'm a fan of SMP, but it is quite like an artists work, you have to find a good artist and think about how you create the look together.
I'm considering SMP in the next 12 to 24 months as a viable option. First step is to shave my head to see how I actually look shaved for the first time, and then start visiting some smp clinics. I'm looking for a high quality place. Secondly, I'd like to ideally meet some guys who have had it done in person to see what they think about it, how it actually looks from my perspective and how happy they seem with the treatment.
I'll plan to go for a more nw2 type hairline.
I'm thinking about going for an SMP, grow out a beard a bit, whilst I buff up in the gym. (I've been talking about buffing up in the gym for the past few years though) but yeah. I think I have good facial features (good enough at least) and youngish enough (30 next year) to rock a shaved look.
This is my 10 year plan if it goes well. By the time I'm 40 I'll potentially keep it going if the look has been working for me, but change if they can cure hairloss by then. Big fat LOL there.
The truth is, hairloss is starting to eat away at my confidence. It's been eating away at my confidence for a long time, such a long time that it's sort of blended into my psyche of who I am, to the extent that I can no longer see its effect, I simply am it's effects. But now, I'm at the n3.5 phase I guess. I can no longer turn a blind eye to my reality. Every time I look in the mirror, everytime I catch my reflection in a shop window, a car window, any pane of glass. I'm reminded of my freakish misfortune, my balding egg like head that stands out more each day. I feel like my soul vanishes with each day, as I go bald, I become empty spiritually, as if all joy has receeded away from my life
That top front part of my hair is becoming an island. My forehead is wide as hell. It's starting to take me over. So I need to make a plan. Not to mention go back to weekly therapy to release all the pent up thoughts and neurosis otherwise the pain of my existence becomes overwhelming. Sorry to be depressing, just need to vent a bit.
