My Impending Baldness


I am losing my hair in the good old pattern way. Give me 5 years and I will be getting it cut close all over. 10 years and I will be stock-piling scalp wax to enhance my sexy Captain Picard-like shiny dome. An aside: how cool is Patrick Stewart?

I knew it was noticeable when a hairdresser took thinning scissors to the sides without asking - she had assumed I was cool with evening the sides out to be like that top! That was a very funny moment for me.

One Greek hairdresser noted "is shame: so thick on side, but not so much on top." She then shared with me her husband's story and how he has found great relief with a shampoo that has slowed his shedding dramatically.

But you know, I can't be stuffed. I'll be doing a civic duty as "short back and sides" will take on a new, far less-taxing meaning for my hairdressers!

And at least I know that women that show interest in my will be after me personality!
