The deed is done
« on: January 13, 2009, 04:39:03 PM »
So I logged on here about 2 months ago for the first time thinking about taking the dive - the deed is now done and I could not be happier - to all those sitting on the fence, yeah you can stop now.  This was a great call on my part and I urge you to do the same.

I had diffused thinning since I was 18 and it was weighing me down confidence-wise.  I was always worried about things like "is it too windy out?" "is the light ok?" "is my hair too flat to get away with what Im TRYING to pull off?".

Its done and like I said - im really happy about it.  A few notes:

Those bumps that terrified me before I shaved down are not even blips when I look at them - I never realized just how innacurate your hands are when you feel and not see. 

The worry is going away already (still getting used to it a bit lol) - I am what I am and its now what others will see right away - so you know what?  If a girl is going to think Im cute - hey its with all that worry out the door. 

I was done lying to myself - and Im better for it.  Others should take the plunge - these guys tell the truth here.  Just go with it!

 P@^   welcome to freedom Cato.  I have suffered from hair thinning for 4 years and boy it was a relief when I shaved my head.

Congrats on finally doing it.  It's a big plunge, and takes getting used to, but is definitely worth it!

Congratulations Cato.  You made a wise decision and one you likely will not regret.

I already dont regret it - it was a big thing to finally do it - but it was time.  I have a feeling that after a few days ill see some older photos and feel that I should have done it years ago - lol.  So be it - better late to the party than never!  Ill get a pic up soon.

Grats! 

"I was done lying to myself" -- I'm working on a number of people at work, subtly, that it is time to do the same.
