going back to hair??

[HoodooMan]

hi guys, i'm new here with a few posts. 23 y.o. college student. this site has really given me the strength to just do what I THINK is best for me. not what everyone else thinks, for the first time in my life. whether it's hair, or other aspects of my life I've finally decided to say screw it to what other's think, and start focusing on me. but, the comments from family, and the memories of hair long gone make me think that maybe i'd like to have hair again since going sly about a month ago. trouble is, i don't have much of it thanks to mpb! i enjoy being sly, not worrying about fixing my hair and whatnot. but there's still that thought in the back of my mind that "well, maybe i could grow enough back to make it look decent for now." i also ride motorcycles alot, and that messes up all the time you spend fixing your hair so noone will notice your mpb! being sly, i don't have to worry about that! with all the freedom slyness provides, why does my mind sometimes revert back to this old way of thinking??

Sometimes you have to do things the hard way in order to put your mind at ease.

If growing your hair back is what you want to do, do it. I doubt you will "cover up" your MPB but hey, whatever floats your boat, we will still be here to support you whatever you decide (well, unless its plugs, rugs or drugs...).

hoodooman:  welcome 2 the sly fraternity.   why would U want 2 go back 2 hair when U have mpb?  unless U enjoy "fixing" your hair and hiding your mpb.  whatever... makes U happy..."go 4 it".  however... embracing your baldness & what GOD has given U is probably the best thing (but U already know that).  we'll B here 4 U because U R part of the family (hair or no hair).   in the mean time... i'm keeping my dome hair-free.

My first question is, have you given it the 30-day trial run?

[BlackJamesRackham]

after shaving my head, even if i had a full head of hair, id shave it. not having to worry about how my hair looks is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.

but like you said, you need to do what YOU want...so if growing it out is something you need to do, go for it. after all, you can always come back to sly side!

Welcome. You have to do what makes you happy whether that's remaining sly or growing it back.

You listed several advantages for remaining sly, what are the advantages of growing it back?

Hey Hoodooman,
First off, welcome.
Second, I think you should go back and read your post. I think you'll answer your own question (in a very sly way, of course  ).

i think you guys are right in saying that i've really answered my own question/quandry. i suppose that the comments from friends/family are what really get to me, although i feel better about MYSELF being sly. family doesn't really understand that, even though i've explained that fact to them. i have only been shaved for about 3 weeks and i'm going to give i the 30 day period, not much longer to reach that point. i think i'm going to keep it shaved permanently though because I do feel better this way.

in response to TheTrucker, i suppose there really are no good reasons for growing it back, other than to appease others. you guys are right!

[TheTrucker]

That's just family. I think we've all heard those kinds of comments. They'll get used to it in time.

Give it time. The Lovely Mrs. Schro hates the look on me. However, she's supportive of the fact I like it.
I'm sure your family will come around. And if they don't, oh well....it's their loss.

Just tell your family that it's not your fault that you have MPB, and this is the best way to deal with it.  You can see your future with MPB; with going sly now, you've just arrived in the future sooner, and are embracing it.
