I started going bald at a relatively young age. I fretted about it for a while, tried different hair cuts etc, and was pretty unhappy about it. After looking in to a few different treatments, procedures and dismissing them all due to side effects and/or cost I bought a pair of clippers and started shaving my own head regularly. The first day I did it was totally liberating, now I wouldn’t go back to having hair even if I had the option. The entire idea that losing your hair is bad is socially constructed by the mass media and advertising industry to sell you these expensive crap treatments. Balding is an entirely healthy and natural human process. Embrace your baldness, stop trying to “fix” it and focus on solving the real problems in the world.
