Title: No warning signal
Post by: itsmyhead on August 17, 2007, 02:24:49 PM
What I have noticed is that I've been hitting my head more.  When I had hair, there was a sense that your head was getting close to something.  Now, there's no warning.  I've been lucky so far that I haven't put any dings or cuts into my scalp yet.  I guess I'll have to proceed with caution.

Hair did give a little padding too, but....then agian if you do gash the noggin, you can't put a bandaide on with hair in the way. Not to mention the hair being matted with dried blood.

This is an excellent point. I have noticed this odd experience to of having no sensation that your dome is close to an object, particulary the trunk hatch on my car  g@@4

I guess I must be extremely lucky in this area. I used to hit my head all the time when I had hair.  Now I am extremely careful and have pretty good luck staying away from low hanging objects.  And you do know that now that I have written this I am due to just walk staight into a wall or something.... :/O

When you're as tall as I am (6'6"), you don't notice a difference.  I've whacked my head on so many doorways, chandeliers, and Burger King hanging signs that I barely feel it anymore.

This summer, I rolled over in bed and smashed my head into the wall. It was like one of those old cartoons -- I had a big bump on my head for the rest of the day.

I'm 6'5" as well and I have the scars to prove it, but the hair did act like curb feelers.

It does seem worse now than before .

I hate when i'm putting clothes in my dresser and as I back out I bang my head.
Title: Re: No warning signal
Post by: nomad on December 17, 2007, 05:05:34 PM
I bang my head all the time now. We got rid of the hair, it acted like curb feelers to warn us.

My grandparents have the evil arch way in thier house, every single person has clunked thier head on it at least twice in the 60 years that they have lived there. I hold the record and stopped counting years ago...I'm talking double digits.

Same here, nomad. I am banging my head all the time now, it seems, and not in the good Quiet Riot sort of way, lol.
I hit my head getting in and out of the car, on my dresser, on the end of the vanity when I'm putting my shaving stuff away. Got a good one last month on the towel bar, ouch!. I guess when the hair was there it would help sense as you got closer to an object.

I have a half bath upstairs in my home, and the ceiling is slanted, and has a stucko-type texture to it.  If i get too close to one side, WHAM!  Happens all the time.

Well there ya go TimmJ, you can add curb feelers to your hat idea.
Or a band that emits a low sound but gets louder as you approach objects, like VORAD on trucks. You can call it Baldar  !d3@

Yesterday I was getting the RV ready for next weekend and i whacked my head three times in five minutes. Twice crawling under a cabinet to flip a valve and once going out the door. My wife said," You're going to have bumps everywhere..... what's up with that?".
My response.... ""No hair to warn me".

I'm in the same boat, 6'-4". I have always hit my head on things. :Xo!
