Thanks guys. But there is also one other element that I neglected to mention.
The HEAD RUB!
But another thing to consider as well. I was chatting with my friend Melissa where I work and can be quite candid with her. And she can be quite blunt with me.
I told her I was considering getting the HCM "system" and asked her bluntly if I would have looked more silly wearing a rug, or shaving it clean.
She outright told me that getting a piece would have been very obvious and I would have been the butt of many jokes. ("Look at this guy, receding hairline yesterday, full head of hair today"). Melissa loves the new sly look.
Remember if you're thinking of getting a "piece", it will be quite obvious. Everybody will see it. Sure, your own "confidence" may raise a bit, but you will never know the "in jokes" that will follow. People will not think two thoughts in a few days if you go sly. Wear a rug, and you're branded as "Toupee Away" forever.
One woman who used to work where I do had a piece on. But she couldn't help it. She was a cancer paciant and temporarily lost her natural hair. As much as she was attractive, the fake piece stood out. She's doing fine now, but the fake piece she had to wear was obvious.
Don't kid yourselves potential HCM clients. It DOES stand out, but not in the way you want.
You come into work Sly, and you gain respect. Come into work with a carpet on your head when just yesterday you had a big bald spot, and you gain scoff.
Just remember YOUR in control! Don't let some obviously fake hairpiece control you.
So if I could give advise to someone thinking of becoming "Sly", it's a no brainer. Just do it.
Realistically, if you want to boost your own self-confidence level, the best way is control your life and thinking. Having a rug superglued to your scalp (at the tune of thousands of dollars) will never replace the confidence one achieves by being in control of themselves. Regardless of if you shave it off or not, once you become the master of yourself, the world will see a brighter picture. And you will love it!
Now get that HeadBlade, HeadSlick, and start enjoying life again!
