Greetings from Brazil

• Greetings from Brazil by Aleluia on 03 Nov, 2012 08:56
• First of all, I´m from Brasil and my english isn´t very good so please forgive any gramathical error. BTW... what exactly means sly??? it´s a slang for shaved head right?
  Ok. Let´s start
  
  1-
  I´m 28 years old, and since I was 20 I started to worry a lot with hairloss. In this time I developed some enemies like wind, daylight, swimming pools, photographs, beach, rainning, girl´s hands in my hair... And since 20 years old I´m using a hairstyle that tries to hide the problem (combover), but this is like a lie to me.
  So I realized that this is not life. I´m really tired of thinking in hair all the time. I´m tired of lying to myself and trying to hide a thing all the time; I realized that life is passing and I have to accept with happiness the challenges. I really belive that the thing that turns a person beauty is the way that this person faces the life.
  Every day we get older and someday I´ll have some wrinkle (thx google translator for this word!) in my face and do not looks so young. And I realized that it doesn´t make sense to suffering for the natural things of life. I thank god for my life and health and shave my head will make me feel better about who I am for real. I´m bald... so what? this is only about hair, life is very beauthiful and is much more deep than this.

  So I decided that in my vacation (12.12.2012) I´ll shave my head. I´ve been thinking in shaving for so long and I´m ready for this. I know that i´ll exchange my "old enemies for a new one: the shaddow, and as you can see in my photo, I have a white skin with a very black hair. At least my hair isn´t so thicker. But anyway, with shaddow or not, I´ll stay shaving my head because there´s no way to stay suffering for something natural, it´s just crazy and makes no sense to me.
  I want to try the freedom that all sly guys have. And if some woman don´t like me because this, I´ll thank God to stay away from a person that only judges other person by the appearance.

  I´ll give an advice to all young guys that reads this forum. Don´t do the same error I´ve did. Don´t loose years of the youth thinking everyday in hair. This great time will never comeback. Accept yourself and be sure that hides a problem makes it became a bigger problem.

  Well. that´s it for the moment. In december I´ll come back with pics of my head shaved and i´ll be proud to put this as my avatar here.
  I want to thank you all guys for the support (and the positive vibrations), this is very important to someone who is thinking in became a sly. I´ve been reading this forum for more than a year and today i´ve done my registration. BTW I use to talk in a brazilian forum about hairloss, and most people of there is so depressive by trying to fight against their own nature and genetics... And this forum is so much more positive...people from there should learn a lot with you guys, as much like I´ve learned.

• I commend you on your decision to take control of your hair instead of letting it control your life, great choice.  Trust me man, once you shave your head you'll feel a lot better, and with your goatee/beard your gonna look badass.
