Proud to be bald: but if you could have all of your hair back?
« on: January 12, 2012, 09:52:02 PM »
This is a topic that has been running in my mind for some time.
One, lurking or simply reading on this magnificent forum, could assume that this is the place were people say "I'm sly and I'm proud!"
Obviously I'm not talking to the guys which like me had shaved their head despite having hair.
I'm talking to the vast majority of people here, who, because of progressive alopecia had decided to cut everything.
And it was such a liberation, becoming with time (or immediately, depending on individuals) a way of life, a sort of Manifesto, if you want.
BUT.
Have you ever considered the possibilty that, in the deep of your mind, you ACCEPTED a natural, genetic and irreversible thing (with style, that's for sure, but still a "forced adaptation") instead of really having made a free choice? Have you ever interrogated yourself regarding this?
"If I could have all of a sudden, my natural hair back? What I would do?" and more importantly: would it be a mind-changing thing?
Of course, for someone who actually STILL have his hair there is no doubt: he made a choice. He opted for a certain way of life, a certain direction. in presnting himself to the world out there (and to himself too) like that.
But the other ones?
I would like to pose this question to all of you.
Hope to have written it in an understandable way, because the question is quite phycological, and not easy to express for me, considering the fact that I usually write in a deadly, ominous, horrible english.

I thank God daily that He freed me from the tyranny of hair.

No, I would not go back to having hair.

I am MPB, but I wouldn't mind if I went to a Norwood 7 in terms of my hair loss and just have a small fringe to shave.  I am just fine being bald.  So no, I don't need it to grow back!

No way would I go back.  I wish nature would take care of the rest faster so I'd have less to shave.  I'm than glad that with every passing year, there's less hair on the dome.

Yes, but only if I could be eighteen again, too.

There are a number of things I'd do differently in that case...

Ironically, that's the vision I have on this...I remember jogging in preparation for the Navy when I was 18 and seeing my reflection in the window of a store I was passing watching my hair bounce up and down.  Thinking that this is how I would grow it out when I got out...

...never happened, but if I could have it back...I would.

Not the hair I had, thin, fine texture--made it impossible to look decent for long except with a whole lot of hair spray and then I couldn't put a hat on or it would get crushed, sweating could make me look like a drown rat--no way I want to go back to that.

Well, understandably so.
You look fantastic without hair.
