Baldness

[CharlieDontSurf]

i had a friend who was in the same boat Noah but was to scared freaked out about shaving it off ala Marine/boot camp style.

He always seemed insecure about it so I finally bet him $200 bucks on a football game and if I won he had to shave his head..but he could tell everyone why he had to do it.

I won...he shaved/buzzcut his head..and has never gone back since.

I'm eventually going to go this route of the Brad Pitt type buzz cut. I have a full head of hair except its thinning big time on the two sides.

Gonna do the Rippletoe workout program thru the fall then shave it before I go home for Xmas holiday.

Thank you!

Jeez, I have posted more in the past two days than I have in the past year, it seems like!

My family (mostly women) are extremely judgemental about hair. If you've got b00bs, you have to have long, flowing, blonde hair. I finally found a good stylist though, and experiment far more with my hair now than I used to. Hair is still serious business to my family, though! Today, I have 'boy' hair in the back and I know that later, when I see my mother, she will probably make some comment about it. She'll tell my aunts, cousins and grandmother about it, and there will be no appreciation that it looks better on me as a 5 foot tall petite girl than face covering, shapeless hair.

This kind of family peer pressure really bothers me. My family tried to force me into that lifestyle, and I balked. I left the town and the state. I absolutely refuse to engage when they attempt that BS and state that they will be without my presence if they don't let me live my own life, and be who I want to be. It has sort of made me somewhat of a black sheep, but I am also very respected and my family does not cross inappropriate lines anymore with me.

Thank you for posting this. For what it's worth, I loved the Susan Powter blonde spike look you had going for a bit there. It's beautiful and looks very empowering and therefore sexy.

You're welcome, and I hope you got something out of it.

As far as the Susan Powter look, people seemed to love that on me. Go figure. I just bleached it white to hide the gray, lol. But that look has passed. I have some kind of spot on my lung (not cancer) which makes it impossible to bleach my hair anymore (can't breathe!!!). Maybe I will get better, but I don't want the spot to turn to cancer just for vanities sake, yanno!

I have some temporary color, but it won't go white, that is for sure.

great post, and i think you look great in the pics with really short hair.

im 30, started losing hair a few years ago, especially in that upper back of the head spot. i always vowed when i started losing it, just to start buzzing or shaving it. i cant believe how crazy chicks go for the shaved/buzzed head look. im sure plenty of women dont like it at all, but the ones that like it, LIKE it. i kinda look like a cross between that guy from prison break and bruce willis though, so i guess that doesnt hurt. the funny thing is i actually look younger with a shaved head than with hair.

one thing i think guys need to realize is that women dont look at us the way we look at them, especially in regards to aging

LOL, you guys are too funny (and nice). I was really posting it to try to help people, truly. I think I helped a few, or at least got them talking and not so self conscious.

I hope.

Felicia,

I repeat the sentiments in this thread. You are a truly beautiful person in and out. Your strength is an inspiration, your kindness is soothing, your beauty is obvious, and your poker playing skills are to be admired.

I still remember years ago when we'd kill the $20 sngs. That was fun.

I hope you are enjoying your time in the dry west coast.

[FeliciaLee]

Aw, you guys are so sweet. I really have no problem whatsoever with my own head (at least it's not bumpy, lol). I was writing more to try to help others who have problems with balding and self-confidence.

But I really appreciate all of the sentiment.

Yes, I remember when Dave, Jason, you and I would sit in empty rooms and chat, the play those SNG's. I remember you were the first one to attempt the $50, and we were all in awe, lol [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Those were great times.

i think you look the same as with more hair. just less hair. very pretty.

but we all have to remember that what our skin delivers to us is what we have to live with and so who cares. its never looks, its really the person inside. i say to hell with anyone that judges anything by looks.
