Thinking of Hair Club For Men? Maybe this will change your mind...
DAVIS30:
I and many others here have been through the same thing and had similar thoughts. If you hate it, get rid of it. I got rid of it 2 and a half months ago after wanting to for years. I've never had one regret since. It isn't easy, but the fact that you came to this site and posted looking for inspiration show you are ready. Don't worry about balls and use your brain. WHy shell out all that money for something you hate. Spend that money on your 5 year old.

I know how you feel. i just released my hairpiece after 25 years. Sooner Steve is right on. I am still a little
nervous at times but think I am hooked on how smooth I want my head to be. People are still surprised by
me removing the hair. If your family is ok with removing the piece then go for it.

I like making the plan idea. But if you have any other suggestions or words of encouragement, I would appreciate it. HK48...

Here's the truth:
- You've already wasted 20 years of your life on this issue. Don't waste anymore.
- For 99% of people this will be a non-issue. They won't even comment. Heck, they probably won't notice because they're too engulfed in their own fears. For those that do notice, they will either think, "I wish I had the balls to be that bold" or will comment negatively because they realize they just got one up'd and need to make themselves feel better.
- Lastly, in a few minutes, hours, days, weeks and months most people will have forgotten that you even had hair when they met you.

I'm a 40 year old man with shattered confidence, savings and direction. I have been an HCM member for 10 years and have been working on the courage, and excuse to free myself from this horrible burden that I have put on myself and my family.
This board has achieved what no one yet has done, in that I finally can see the shared life story that I have with so many other good men that fell for the illusion of security that comes with HCM.
You have convinced me to do this!
I share the same fears and reservations about the "reveal" at work, and the experiences that ya'll have posted have shown me that it may not be anywhere near as bad as I fear, and even if it is, it will be short lived.
I can do this!
I also have a second reason for this life change (apart from the massive expense).....
My Mom is dying of cancer. It will definitely take her in the coming months. She is trying a new experimental Chemo that will cause her hair to fall out.
My grand and secret "plan" is to start growing a goatee now (something I have never made it past 3 weeks trying) and right before we visit my folks for Thanksgiving week, shave it off, go to a barber and have it done right the first time, and then surprise Mom with our "shared" new look.
I see it as a dual reward. Honoring my Mom and showing solidarity with her plight, as well as freeing myself of this burden that I have afflicted myself with.
Now.....FEED ME COURAGE!
Razor X:
You don't need us to feed you courage. Just do it to show solidarity with your mom. I'm very sorry to hear about her illness and wish you and your entire family the best.
Now, shave that head!! :x!
