There have been lots of discussions about other people's reaction when you first went bald, but what was your reaction?

Thirteen years ago I wanted to try a really short haircut. I had been trimming my own hair, so one morning I decided to give myself a buzzcut. I did about 1/4 inch all over, didn't like it , so went down to a #2, didn't like it, so I used the 0000 blade. Nothing but stubble was left, and with my white hair, I pretty much looked bald. So I got in the shower with a razor and for the first time I had a shaved head!

My significant other, who was totally against a buzzcut, was in shock. I wasn't sure about being bald, and figured I would grow my hair back. Later that day my SO asked what I thought about having a shaved head, so I asked her what she thought, and she rubbed my head and said she loved it and I should keep it!

After a few days, I was hooked, and 13 years later, still love it.

It was thinning.  I'm scheduled for six appointments, but I might get eight or nine.  Having light skin and dark hair, I am a prime candidate for lasering.  I'd recommend it.  Do it before you go gray.  You won't regret it if you truly want baldness.

How many treatments did they tell you it would take?  Also, did you have a full head of hair or had male pattern baldness already started for you?

Pic 1, the closer the shave the better.  Since your hair is dark, you have shadow if it is not as close as possible.  When you are older and your hair turns gray (assuming it does), you will be able to be shadow free with any of them.  And I will add, with the shaved head, the more facial hair the better IMO.
