Erutan, welcome to SBG. There are several in here who wore some hair systems. Hopefully you will go into the archives here and find the stories of people like Andrew and Todd who both had rugs. It is better to embrace MPB than fight it. It's less expensive too!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. The first couple of days has been an adjustment going out and getting myself out there. I'm back to school tomorrow, so once that is finished it will be smooth sailing. My confidence is much higher now than when I wore the system.
Here's an unexpected pic a friend took from last week. This is me with the system on. lol
Remember the saying: ":A picture's worth a thousand words." This one could write its own novel...

Just remember, people are uncomfortable with change and don't often know the right way to react. Likely you'll get some jokes and comments that might not be kind... let it go. Trust me, it's them NOT you! Just human (childish) nature. It will pass and you'll be surprised when later the same people come back and say, "you know, I really like your look".
The whole 30 Day thing is to give everyone, including you, a chance to adjust to what is really a radical change. But after you've made that adjustment you'll be so glad you stuck it out!

Well, today was my first day back at school since shaving my head. The reaction was severe and mixed. Many of my female colleagues said it looked 'better' when it was long and that i looked younger. So then I became paranoid. But soon shrugged it off when andother female colleague saw me and said "now thats what i call a haircut. I LOVE it." That gave me a real boost of confidence. But to be honest. I'm more outgoing and confident without the rat on my head than I was with it on. Still getting used to the sly look. Especially with my suit. I like it better when I'm wearing casual clothes. Day 5 approaches!

Just remember the few nay sayers ultimately shut up, but the compliments--well they just keep coming, really.
