Just turned 30 and I wanted to post a quick little update on my hair situation.I've been losing my hair since I was 21 but I was kind of lucky because it started off really slow and wasn't noticeable until I was 26. It used to make me very paranoid because I though i'd be ugly as a bald man and I'd never get laid again.From the ages of 27-29 I really thought it and made and honest go of the big three treatments. For whatever reason none of the treatments worked and I continued to bald at a steady rate.At 29, after a tough break up I reached a breaking point and in a moment of madness I shaved it all off. When I did I was kind of shocked and I was very much on the fence on how I felt about it. Because it was such a drastic change I ended up taking a bunch of pictures of myself, trying to make sense of this whole new look. I ended up posting one the better pictures on facebook and ended up getting a positive response, and ever since then I slowly began to build a lot of confidence about not having hair.I'll post some pictures below:my hair without shaving for a 3 weeks: https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19554074_10155595335608586_9177125408989011301_n.jpg?oh=bac1bb0e08395c32df07448f5c6f48c0&oe=59DBA5EAmy hair with toppik fibre:https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14642422_10154766469328586_1653882207957187307_n.jpg?oh=6fdd7d2af5b5087fe18cc0bf0308236a&oe=59DC4AE4Zero guard:https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14642422_10154766469328586_1653882207957187307_n.jpg?oh=6fdd7d2af5b5087fe18cc0bf0308236a&oe=59DC4AE4Shaved with a razor:https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18951000_10155523164068586_2915320138537771005_n.jpg?oh=4bb9c1060ea4df4a89e12c43c642ab56&oe=59C9BBC7At the moment I actually use the toppik in the hair as it makes me look like a fullheaded guy. When It gets thinner In a few years this will no longer be possible and I will return to shaving it all off.I prefer to have a little hair right now, but I've actually been told I look better bald by some people so I have no worries about shaving.Anyway, I hope this helps some people who are not sure whether to shave or maybe its just an interesting read to the regular sly guys.
Thanks guys!Toppik is a bit of a God send in the earlier stages as it really does hide thinning hair.I think especially for men in their 20s when its probably harder losing your hair it can provide a little short term fix.My actual only concern about the bald look is that I teach little kids in asia and I'm worried I may intimidate them a bit.I'm gentle as hell, but I understand that the tattoos, beard, and shaved head looks scary to little ones.
