Baldness, how do we deal with it? Some people shave their head and just get on with it, personally vanity has always been a problem for me, i'm a decent looking lad (sorry for sounding cocky), i have to say that going bald has been such a painful experience over the last 6/7 years. I am 29 now and i have been noticeably losing it for the last few years. In my early twenties i still had really cool spikey short hair, i believe my problem was i started to let mine grow due to the fear and hatred of going to the barbers. The odd comment of "ah your losing your hair" did nothing to help the situation. To say i have missed days from work because of bad hair days would not be a lie, hoping that there is no gale force winds as i am going along my merry way is a constant quandry, i have never been so interested in the weather in my life!!!! I am not completely bald far from it actually, i am losing it on my crown though and receding at the sides. The regime i have used for years is a hair dryer, people will probably hammer me for doing that but i found it the easiest way to style my hair after the shower. The problem is though i try and hide that fact from people, my mates know i use one for years and they just think there goes the vain git again. To be brutally honest though, baldness has consumed my life for the last ten years and it is not good. I have started taking propecia the last six months and i notice a difference, i do have bad days but i am taking that as the new stuff trying to get through. Try and not let it get you down though. I have lost relationships due to it, i would be moody and i would never let on why i was in a bad mood, i would'nt go on trips with my mates due to the regime i use everyday, can't be doing that with someone else in the room, constant excuses and lies as to why i can't and won't do something or go somewhere. It is getting better though. I am going to give propecia 18 months and if i am still losing alot of hair i am going to buzz and go!!! I just want to say reading some of these extracts have helped alot, at the end of the day there is more to life than hair.
