Soon to be....
« on: March 04, 2011, 11:42:25 AM »
Hey guys. I found this site and decided to join. I responded to a different topic, so I'll introduce myself here. Started losing hair at 19 and at 22 started wearing "hair". I actually don't think I look too bad with it but I'm 40 now, happily married for 12 years and have two awesome daughters and I believe I'm done with covering up. The discomfort, cost, worry if someone "notices" has taken its toll. I was recently laid off from my sales job (it's okay, my wife does quite well) and I knew it was coming as they told us all last month that this was coming. So that's when I started thinking, what better time to shave it all off than while I'm home looking for something new. I am in need of a new hairpiece, but I am NOT buying one! My goatee is growing in nicely, and my wife even tells me that she finds some bald men "sexy" O0! (Why didn't she say so before?!) It's so cool that you guys formed this site, I wish it were here 18 years ago! Any advise for dealing with, well, anything would be appreciated! I will keep you all posted......

Best advice I can give;

Buss the remains as short as possible, get in a hot shower, lather it up and get rid of it.
Then get on with life.

Might sound harsh but, most likely, you'll be saying the same thing to other guys in about a month.  It is SO much better, at least for me.  Mine never got to the rug point but it still bothered me, much more than I ever realized.

And WELCOME to the forum. Post some pictures when you get a chance.

A late Welcome to you. Good to hear you chose to ditch the hair hat and shave it.
It's gotta be a hell of a relief, enjoy your new found freedom!   O0

Picture added...success! Usually I have an issue with getting pictures to post..... O0. I'm still getting used to this look but I think my wife and kids are used to it already. My biggest issue is I still tend to grab the baseball cap if I'm going out.....I will get over it, just takes a little time. Thanks again, guys for all the support you give not to only me but to all who are in need of it!
