Hey (I was never a good writer)
« on: August 08, 2010, 05:44:40 PM »
I joined the SLY online community several weeks ago and figured it was about time I made my new start official by posting an intro!!

I'm 22 and started noticing a generally thinning of my hair (especially in front) about two years ago. At first, I dismissed it as a symptom of stress from college etc., but the following summer I buzzed my head and so began my struggle with MPB.

Intially, I was upset and immediatly began researching hairloss remedies. That only made me feel worse when I saw the unflatering ways we (males suffering from MPB) were portayed in commercial campaigns for these "cures". The past year I spent my time basically obsessing over my hair loss promoting understandable feelings of insecurity.

Recently I began contemplating shaving my head based solely on the fact that I am a fit/muscular guy. That's when I found this site and I have to say, all the testimonies of you guys helped me come to terms with my hair. I recently shaved my head again (no guard, so practically no hair) and feel great!! I still have my struggles but this site is great resource and has helped through the first couple of weeks. I know eventually I'll be as SLY as the rest of you!! Thanks again!

Welcome, Eagle.....yep, you came to the right place!!  I know my struggles coming to terms with hair loss were devestating!!  Spent a lot of time worried about something "that don't add up to nothing" as Tom Petty says.  You will find fantastic advice and support on this site.  Great dudes on here.  Happy you are with us and hope you find the happiness I have found since going SLY!!  Welcome, brother.

I also started with no guard while I was thinning for about a year before I went sly. Try the 30 days and feel your control of your life comin back.

Welcome Eagle, good to have you join us. You made the right decision regardless; buzz with guard, no guard, either way it's better than a combover, rug, plugs or drugs!

When you're ready, give a blade shave a shot. I am sure you will love it.    O0
