SMP looks like a good middle ground treatment. It isn't going to magically look like you have your hair back, but you get a frame, it looks like you buzz your hair. So, why not. It something I've been considering for years. That said, I'm now at a point where I would get SMP in between jobs. So the day you rock up to your next job, you already have your SMP in place. Rocking into the office with it may provoke some reaction, although I guess I work at a pretty PC place so no one would say sh*t. It's just getting through the first week...
As for me, well, I haven't posted in ages. For most of this year, I've been experimenting with facial hair, and for the most part, it has actually helped take away the obviousness of my receding hairline. The eye doesn't automatically look upwards as much as the beard sort of blends everything together.
That said, recently, it's almost like that option is no longer working for me. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel dissatisfied with my appearance. That is the bottom line. I see this miserable person staring back at me. My hair is still there. The frontal recession has done most of it's damage, and to be honest I've weathered it quite well. But now the slow island is forming and Im ever so slowly diffusing.
As soon as my hair grows out, I look scruffy. Especially with a beard. I look like a bum. It all looks untidy and unkempt. A fresh haircut and a beard looks passable. I look like sh*t with a shaved face though. My recession and the bags under my eyes create this dark look. I just look like sh*t.
I'm going on holiday for two weeks in August. I've been talking about buzzing my hair for ages and I haven't done it. I's time for a radical overhaul of my appearance. Just before the holiday starts I'm going to trim my head down to a bloody number 1 and then have those two weeks to get used to it. I will be able to have that time to be able to look at my appearance and also get a tan and enjoy the good weather before getting back to the office. It's f*****g time. 15th of August is my buzz day. I'm genuinely looking forward to it. Tired of keeping up the shitty hair look. Worst case scenario it will grow back, but honestly. there comes a time in a man's life when his shitty hair is making him look older then younger.
Once I kiss the hair goodbye, it's one less thing I have to try and keep up. My hairloss just makes me look so tired. Does anyone know what I mean? The recession just gives me a tired, kind of run down look. Trimmed / bald, it's a kind of fresher look at least. I know for sure that I will look younger. Will let you guys know how it looks. Still 5 weeks off buzz day but I now have a date to look forward to.
