I was talking to a friend of mine who had hair transplants a few years ago and he suggested that I get them too.When I told him I was too chicken to get cut he told me that if there are procedures like transplants out there to make you look your best,why not take advantage of them.
So I told him that I wear my hairpiece on certain occasions and most of the time I keep my own hair cut close. He asked me how do I tell a possible significant other that I wear a piece.So I told him that I don't wear it in a social situation because if I do meet somebody at least they will see the real me.This guy also said that he would get a face lift when the time came just to look young.
When I told him that you have to have personality also he sort of side stepped that.When I told him that there are a lot of good looking bald men out there he said again that if there are things out there like hair transplants to have hair again why not take advantage of it.
He says it makes him feel better about himself but yet he says that he feels nervous that people are always judgeing him.Sounds contradictory.This guy is also in the theater so maybe that's why he's so vain.At any rate he made me feel that he didn't think I was looking the best I could just because I wouldn't go for those scary hair transplants.Please,if I ever needed words of encouragement I need them now.

sounds like HE is the one with the problem. as long as YOU are comfortable with yourself, then why should his opinion matter? confidence goes a loooooong way with people, not just potential mates, be comfortable with yourself and let him waste his money on stuff to make him feel better. i plan to just let nature take it's course and grow old gracefully. but that is just me. you have to do what makes YOU feel good about yourself.

First thing that comes to my mind, don, is that what shines around here with the SBG bruthas is much more than our shiny noggins...
It's personality PLUS, man...because of the confidence and liberation we EXUDE from embracing baldness rather than fighting it. I've often wondered why this group is so dynamic and attractive...and I'm convinced that it has to do with this confidence and liberation.
I'm bald by choice so I'm not the most empathetic in relating to transplant, hair piece, Rogain and all that.
But in my opinion, I think the days of fighting MPB with these things are slowly going by the wayside in favor of embracing baldness rather than fighting it. (and frankly I believe it is scaring the sh** out of the restoration and coverup business)
I personally think that you guyz with the horse shoe thing have better looking bald noggins because more of it is tan or tan's much more easily and there's way less pale shadow to mitigate.
When I was a lot younger, my stache and goatee did not connect down the sides of my mouth....and I was so insecure about looking like one of the Three Muskateers, that I would draw in the connection with my sister's eyebrow pencil.
Then I was all insecure that someone would notice the false whiskers....so I never really accomplished anything as far as confidence. So finally I just shaved it off and sported the bic'd look.
Now that's a weak comparison...but it seems to me that it's a similar situation with transplants and/or wearing a piece.....while ya sorta mitigate one aspect of insecurity....it sorta creates another.
Don't know how encouraging that is....just my 2 cents.
-
Don, stay bald my brother. I'm telling you that he may have confidence now, but as soon as he starts losing his hair in the places that he didn't get transplants, he's going to start feeling like a jackass. Just imagine him losing his hair on the side of his head and then having "thick" hair on top. People will then really start to laugh at him or he'll have to pay more to get even more transplants.
Just remember, the long term benefits are in your favor. Confidence and personality are the key, just like you said.

I refuse to be told what is or is not universally attractive.
I will instead determine for myself what I will look like and seek out others who will accept, appreciate and love me, as me, for me.
I refuse to be SOLD attractiveness.
I will instead choose the products and services that suit my purposes and work well for me.
I refuse to be shamed or guilted by the media into changing my looks.
I will instead find the body, hair, clothing style that best suits me and makes me most comfortable.
I refuse to cling to or chase my inevitably fading youth.
I will instead embrace my age and enjoy the wisdom each year brings.
I refuse to be made uncomfortable by other people.
I will instead luxuriate in the comfort I find within my own skin and will enjoy and draw confidence from the frustration my comfort causes those who would change me.
I refuse to let the superficial judgments of others affect me.
I will instead instead draw confidence from my knowledge of myself and show that to others.
I refuse to accept the labels of society and the individuals that live within it.
I will instead set my own standards for myself and choose who's opinions I will listen to based on my respect for them.
This is my line in the sand. I am an individual. I am my own person.

Vash - Bravo! Bravo!! Forget what I said...listen to Vash.
-
t as soon as he starts losing his hair in the places that he didn't get transplants, he's going to start feeling like a jackass.
mark these words because it will happen...just because you get transplants to fill in the balding areas..doesnt mean the rest of your hair will not fall out..at that point you'll be paying more and having to get transplants again...its a vicious cycle.....i had a horse shoe for 12 yrs..thick at first...eventually the sides thinned out too!!...remember.. misery loves company and guys that pay thousands for transplants will end up miserable in the end because nature wont stop no matter what the hair club for men says....
also like robmiester said.. the days of fighting MPB is over...there is an explosion of men shaving their head these days and i dont see an end to it...in 2 to 5 years its gonna be hard to find a guy with a horseshoe...they'll be sly and liberated!
-
I agree with EVERYTHING that Vash said. If I get up in the morning and don't like what I'm lookin at in the mirror, then no one will like what they see. Forget the labels, forget the media storm and "Hollyweird" telling you how you should look. I've always said, "This is who I am, if you don't like it then tough, you can just keep on walking"
I used to have a sticker on the bumper of one of my trucks that said "Freedom of expression, if you don't like it, don't look"
I'm all about that
-
Don,
All these guys made extremely valid points. It's all about how YOU feel about YOURSELF. I had been dealing with MPB since high school and was ribbed a lot by friends growing up. As I got older, I used to joke with people when I said "I look good from the neck down" (I'm into running and keep myself in pretty good shape). As I got older, I still kept myself in good shape but really didn't think I was as worried about my hair loss. However, I guess I was subconsciously bothered by it. I was always wearing a hat (even in the house). I try to keep my skin in good shape and am very religious about wearing sunscreen. Since I shaved my head on New Year's Day 2007, I now love going outside and zipping around town without a hat. I even go golfing without a hat (SPF30 is a must). I have gotten many. many, many compliments on my shaved head and how much younger I look. But more importantly, I FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. On a sidenote, I suffered from a bad scalp condition which is completely gone since I shaved my head, which is enough of a reason to keep the SLY look.
You need to do what is best for you. However, even though I was concerned about my MPB, I never considered hair plugs or restoration procedures. Like you, I know I would have been concerned with the fact everyone would have known I got it.
Hope that helps,
Schro

Right on Brother! You said a mouthful there.
Don, if your friend feels that way about himself then that is the way he is going to be. The cool thing though is you don't have to be like that. Go with your heart man. If you don't want to do the transplant thing then that's your call. If he is worried he is being judged by others yet judges you for not following his same path then that problem is his not yours.
My favorite movie is "Braveheart" (duh) and one of the best lines in the movie, a little more obscure than some, comes when William Wallace rides back from "picking a fight" with the English at the Battle of Sterling Bridge. The Irish character asks "What do we do now?"....Wallace looks at him with a sly grin and says " Just be yourselves".
Dude, Just be yourself bro! Whatever you want to be.
Or if you want to be really cool, be like me! ha ha ha ha...
-
Just listen to what the other Sly bros. have said Don. Just have confidence in yourself and everything will be okay. Don't worry about what other think about you. You have to like you for you or you will never be a truly happy person. Then you will never make others happy around you. Stay bald brother and while you're at it try the sly look out and forget the hair piece. O0
-
Don, very little to add to what the others have said so well. As the words of the old song say, "You can't please everyone, so you have to please yourself" and know that there are a whole bunch of great guys and gals here to support you being you.
-
You are beautiful just the way you are!!!! It sounds like he's the insecure one going through all these surgeries, because he isn't comfortable in his own skin!

AMEN Brother Vash! That was brilliant. I think that needs to be made into it's own topic, made sticky, and be in the rules of the board that everyone reads it. That was just inspiring.. and I didn't even need any inspiration! You have my utmost respect.
-
I want to thank you all so much for your support. It's just that he made me feel so inferior because of my hair loss. But I notice even with his hair transplant he still has a bit of a bald spot and when the wind blows you could see right through to his bald scalp.I have to fight this weakness of mine in letting him make me feel bad.
-
"he said again that if there are things out there like hair transplants to have hair again why not take advantage of it"
My suggestion would be to respond ... "Hair transplant shmare transplant! I look great and I feel great!! Bald is beautiful brother!!!" O0
Just be who you are! If he needs a hair piece fine just don't let him tell you that you need one! It's YOU that decides what you do or don't need, it's your head!
Being bald is great, just take a look at the gallery. See anyone frowning? Even the blue alien guy looks pleased enough!

Thanks.. I just got a little worked up by the thread. I don't want to sound too militant about individuality, but is SO important... and the idea of someone belittling someone they call a "friend" over hair loss..or choosing NOT to have cosmetic surgery (which is what it is), just plain pisses me off.
Anyway, it all just sorta came outta me and I typed it down. I'm glad somebody else finds truth in it.
-
Vash for President!..dude..thats some awesome wordsmithing there...it should be like the SBG motto or something O0
-
Who says having hair makes someone look their best? I feel a lot better about myself without hair than I ever did with it. Not only that, but to try and strong arm a friend into a decision they aren't wanting to make is not being a "friend."
I'm sorry, but being bald is just another style. I don't see people flipping out because molly over here added red streaks to her blonde hair. Or went from hair to her waist to a short bob. Etc.
Plus, you know what, you are winning the battle, your "friend" is losing it. He has shelled out all that money for transplants because he has been conditioned by society to think only having hair is acceptable. So in reality, he isn't in control of his situation at all. He has let society dictate how he should look. While the man who shaves his head either by choice, or to beat baldness is in control. Because while you may have lost your hair, you just don't care anymore and don't let it affect your demeanor/daily life.
Think of it like this: By shaving your head by choice, you are just expressing your individuality(like me). However, shaving your head to beat baldness is like you are telling baldness you can't run my life anymore. Instead of trying to hide it to the world and hope people don't notice, you are saying I don't care and take ME for ME.
The bottom line is the man who shaves is showing everyone he oozes confidence. The man who tries to cover up is showing everyone his insecurities.
-
Vash, I am a 46 year old woman with 3 sons and 1 daughter. To instil your attitude into my children and myself (because peer pressure can affect all ages) is the most precious thing that can be taught. I have printed out your words and they are on our family noticeboard. Thanks from Lesley Brown

Vash bro, that was freaking awesome. Very well put. I'm also printing this out just to have because that was greatly written. I concur with the others....Vash for President!!! O0 O0
-
How about the SBG Mission Statement?
-
Vash, like several others here I am printing out your words. In this case however I intend to post them in my high school classroom. Adolescence is an awkward time for all teens, but for those with disabilities it is even worse. The pressure to fit into high school society when you have a situation that makes you different is horrible. Being the only teacher in a staff of 100 who shaves his head (and several with MPB really should) I have tried to become a model for difference being celebrated. Just thought you should know that those well chosen words were going to motivate others than your original audience. Thanks
-
Vash... Kudos to you! Awesome words of encouragement for any and everyone! O0
Don, I can only agree with everyone else here... the bottom line is not what society thinks (or promotes), but what YOU think about yourself. When the day is done, can you sleep comfortably and restfully at night with who you are.
-
You've got my vote Vash! That should be the new "Sly Guy Creed"! O0
-
Guys, seriously, thank you... I really appreciate that you all like my little rant there. Really, I don;t know what to say... I'm happy to have come up with something that people can identify with and find something worthwhile in.
I hope Don found what he needed to find in the thread, and thanks to him for inspiring me to write that rant that you guys have found so inspiring in turn.
PAUL: You can tell the kids in your class that it was written by a bald guy who wears kilts every day and makes his living playing music thats hundreds of years old, on a drum that most people have never heard of... talk about "fringe".. geez, I freak me out sometimes.
Anyway, thanks again guys, I am really, really flattered.
-
;D O0 Vash, I just got into this thread after an involved week at the college. What you wrote to that misguided young man, what you call--humbly--a rant, is classic: The Declaration of Rights of people who shave. As the mother said, it shoud be drilled into kids' heads for the protection of their individuality and self-determination. The guys in the toupees and "relocated" hair (not to mention cranial scars when they eventually have to shave) will be left holding the bag when the aesthetic of male attractiveness changes, which it is aready doing. "Replacement systems" will then seems as pathetic and quaint as fin-mobiles and retro kitchen furniture. Well done! Glad to call you Bro. Professor Melon
-
:D Dear Don. Sorry for the late response. Vash and the bros. all had it right. Your "friend" is not your friend and he does not give sound advice. So brace up man, and see the truth. This guy is ruled by narcissism and the fear of growing old. He lives in an illusion of himself, clinging to the vain hope that people accept the illusion as a reality. His argument--why not use a technique that it ready at hand?--is specious since transplants do not stop further balding and the "donor" area eventually fails to provide sufficient hair to cover the newly bald areas. He is also not kind--just looking for another sucker to bolster his unvoiced/denied suspicion that he has not made the right decision. Chronic fear and denial do not lead to happiness or confidence; embracing the truth does. Tell him kindly but firmly, that plating make-believe is not YOUR thing. If he really is a friend, he will acknowledge the wisdom of your self-determination. Professor Melon

[..in 2 to 5 years its gonna be hard to find a guy with a horseshoe
It already is hard to find a guy with a horseshoe, especially among the under-40 crowd. Shaving off the horseshoe has become the rule, rather than the exception.
-
not to mention cranial scars when they eventually have to shave)
The Professor speaks the truth. I saw a guy on the street a few months back, whose shaved head was covered with scars. Obviously he'd had a transplant and was not happy with the results and ended up shaving anyway. I give the guy a lot of credit for having the guts to shave and show those scars to the world. But I'll bet he wishes he'd never had that procedure done. Let me tell you, the scars were not pretty!!
To anyone who's thinking of getting a transplant -- shave your head first and keep it that way for six months. By the time the six months are up, it's highly unlikely that you'll want the transplant. If you still want it, then go for it. At least that way you'll know that you didn't like having a shaved head. The hair will grow back, so you've got nothing to lose. Better than getting the transplant, regretting it and wondering if you should have tried shaving first.
-
Vash....that is stellar, man

Another good piece of advice
-
Thanks so much again guys. But no matter how logical I talk to this guy he still thinks he's right.It's like talking to a brick wall. He has such a mid life crisis that it's pathetic.He is a very shallow person.He's so delusional thinking he looks young when I could see how ridiculous he looks.
-
Well Don, in that case, I'd say just let him have his delusion...sooner or later it will wear off, or be too obvious for him to ignore any longer.
Just don't let it rub off on you, and don't let anyone ever talk you into anything you don't want to do. Be yourself, for yourself first.
The fact that you are able to see how "pathetic" his self-delusion is says a lot about you. It's important that you recognize that fact within yourself. Draw pride and strength from within yourself. You are more than your haircut, your clothes, your car, whatever. You are a whole person and you are just as valid as any other whole person, with equal rights to your opinion and choices.
Never sacrifice your own choice for what someone else tells you, you should do.
We were born with spines for a reason, use it.
-
Thank you Vash for the pep talk.I really could use it.

It doesn't matter what he thinks. All that matters is what YOU think. I think we all do this sort of thing when we're thinking about taking the plunge. I found myself thinking about all sorts of people -- some of whom I hadn't seen in years -- who wouldn't approve if I shaved my head. People whose opinions should have been of no consequence. I didn't even like some of these people!!
There's a tendency to come up with excuses not to do it. You have to accept that there are some people out there who aren't going to like it. So what? There are probably people out there who don't like the way you wear your hair now, the way you dress, any number of things. The truth of the matter is, nobody is stopping you from doing this, except YOU.
I first started to seriously consider shaving my head in 1998. I didn't actually do it until 2002. Looking back, that was a ridiculous amount of time to put off doing something that I really wanted to do -- something as insignificant as getting a haircut. I literally became obsessed with the idea of shaving my head, and finally realized that it was just something I HAD to do. The only way to get over the obsession was to just do it.
If other people want to disfigure themselves with expensive surgery, so be it. Just don't let anyone who exercises such poor judgment dictate what YOU should do.
That first swipe across the scalp with the razor is the hardest. After that, it's a done deal and it gets much easier. Trust me.
-
Wow, great thread guys. Vash & Don, I can only reiterate what everyone else has said. So consider it reiterated. ;)
BTW, I am also going to print out your rant Vash. My teenage daughter occasionally needs to be reminded that she is an individual.
Thanks for that bro.

Don, after rereading your original thread and the great advice from the brothers here, one thing comes to mind. You called this individual a "friend" While my friends gave a little good natured ribbing when I first shaved, they have never tried to dissuade me in any way. In fact they have been extremely supportive of the fact that I am really comfortable with being sly. A true friend would be there with you in whatever decision was important to you. Should you really be worrying about this "friend" if he can't let you be the person you want to be? Maybe he needs to read these threads sometime. Be yourself man, seems like you have a lot going for you.

Don honestly do you care about this person? If he is a close friend then he shouldn't be telling you what to do with your head he should be suporting your decisions. If he is just some dude off the street, or a mild aquantince then to hell with him. Do what makes you feel good about yourself. I know when My friends and family seen me bald for the first time they will love me and respect me for who I am, and to hell with what the person on the street thinks.
Sorry if I sound a little abrupt but I just got home from work and I am still in Military mode from today.

You guys are too funny.Thanks so much for all the support.This guy is not as close a friend as he used to be.I think I just gave him too much of the benefit of the doubt.I know better now.As long as I'm doing what makes me happy,that's all that counts.The hell with him.He also criticizes me by saying that I should work out more because my arms are not built up enough.He wants me to be just like him. He also told me that I'm bowlegged {which I'm not} I'm just slightly pigeon toed on one side.I'm just tired of all his negativity.

The dude's definitely got issues :/O
He's got to be reminded that when he points the finger at you or someone else, he's got THREE fingers pointing back at him.
or as the Bible says [paraphrased] "Don't go trying to get the speck out of someone else's eye when you have a TWO-BY-FOUR jutting out of your own eye."

Don.....that man is NO FRIEND....sounds to me like he has all this hair and all these muscles and he looks over at you and sees that you are happy with just being you and he can't stand it!!! I think there is some jealousy in a lot of what he tells you.....like I said, he's not happy with himself. You can have all the hair and muscles in the world, but if you don't love yourself then none of it is worth it!!!

Hey guys & gals...
Some of you expressed an interest in me reposting the "I refuse" mantra that I posted earlier in this thread, as it's own thread (still with me?... good.).
I'd be interested in posting it as it's own thread, so you all can add your own stuff to it.. to help it grow. Just post a reply in the same format:
I refuse to _______________________________
I will instead _____________________________
I'd like to see how far these kind of affirmations can go.
Here's the thing....
Where the heck do you post a thread like that? Under what heading/subheading?
Ideas? Opinions? Thoughts?
Whaddayathink?

Hey Vash,
Post it in the "To Be or Not Be Bald" board and I'll make it a sticky.

Thanks Tyler, done and done.... I posted it in To Be or Not Be Bald titled
"SLY Affirmations (An Individuals Manifesto)"
Lets see where this thing goes folks O0
