Wow Chris, that's cool to have a sly dad! Do you ever talk about shaving? Great way to have a common bond with a parent.My dad passed in 1975 when I was 21. I had very long hair, and he was always bugging me to get a crewcut. I'm sure he would approve of my current haircut though!
That's great, he was sly when sly wasn't cool. Well, it was cool to me.My father passed away when he was 39, me 14. He had some thinning going on, but still had his hair. His Father's side held on to their hair fairly well, but his mother's side were mostly bald, some very early. My cousins mostly still have their hair., but the ones that lost it did so early.
Almost all of the men on both sides of my family died before the age of 50. My Father had six brothers and six sisters. All of the brothers were severely thinning/bald; most sported oily comb-overs. My Father had snow white hair since birth and it was very thin and fine. He wore a comb-over until I was out of the house and then he wore God-awful (and insanely expensive) toupe's until he died but he did "live" to be over 60.All but one of the men on my mother's side died before I was even born. The photos show them all with full heads of hair; but then they died before most men of that era experienced any severe hair loss.My brother had always had hair like my father's. I always had hair like the men on my mother's side of the family - until I got sick and the drugs wiped it out. I still have a full hair line but it grew back extremely thin and wispy, (and the color of dead mouse). I miss my flattop but I look better without the "old man hair" and without the "dead mouse" colored facial hair.Since I cannot have nice hair, I don't want any hair at all. But I hate shaving and I really, really, really, wish there were a way to remove it permanently. I know from having my back and shoulders waxed repeatedly over the years that over time there is almost no hair there anymore. Over time the follicles just "give up". And, while it was painful the first few times, it became less and less painful with each succeeding wax job. I would truly like to try getting my head waxed by a pro who knows how to do small strips at a time. I have seen horror films on Youtube of "home waxing adventures" but I have also seen one Youtube where they do it correctly and the results look really good! The pro's are not allowed to do this in Illinois. Do any of you guys know where I might be able to give this a try?I have also heard of guys who have used an epilator to permanently remove head hair. Again, they say to do it in very small narrow strips at a time. Do any of you guys have experience with this?
