Life without the "system"
« on: April 13, 2007, 09:46:59 PM »
First night out as a bald guy.....am so jazzed. Ditched the hairpiece "system" after 13 years today. For those of you who have decided to stop wearing a piece, how has your life changed?
Just tonight it was so great to feel the wind on my head and not worry about the rug coming off.

mike..congrats on the liberation! it looks sly! while i never wore a system or did combovers..i did sport a horsehoe hairdoo for 12 yrs....and i can sorta relate to the fear of the rug flying off on a windy day....for me ..my rug was my baseball cap...and i was always embarassed when it would fly off unexpectedly...even if i was with people that KNEW i was bald lol  :/O it was worst when around people i didnt know.....never again!!

my life has changed in many ways.....some of the best things are no more worrying about how my hair looks,no more grey hair!.....i now ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS while driving! i dont fear the WIND and enjoy a windy breeze on the head....walking in the rain is NO problem!..i havent been swimming yet but i know that will rock also.......head rubs... >:D nough said....

Other than "don" I'm not sure we have active posters who have worn a piece....I think he still wears his....maybe coming from a recovered, reformed and liberated former rugmeister...he'll have some empathetic encouragement to embrace the liberation you've discovered. O0

 :D :D :D Free at last, free at last, thank God a-mighty, you're free at last, Mike! I never wore a system and only flirted with the idea of plugs, but I can appreciate the anxiety you've suffered. I do not know how much money I wasted on follicle-stimulating pills and hairspray to glue my thinning hair in place. I nearly murdered an inconsiderate friend who rolled down the top of his convertible, while I squirmed in embarrasement. Now I am honest with myself and the world, have become a smoothness perfectionist, and more often than not choose Headlube glossy before setting out. As many bros on this site can attest, you're probably wondering what took you so long. Welcome aboard, Professor Melon
