There’s No Denying it, I’m Losing Hair
Decisions will need to be made.
When I was a much younger guy, I noticed that there was a slight recession of my hairline along the flanks of my forehead. I was young and still had plenty of hair, so it was no big deal. Now that I’m in my 60s, the situation has come more to the forefront. Literally. Especially when I get out of the shower. My remaining hair seems to taunt me by falling backwards, not forwards.
Or maybe my forehead is growing an alarming rate. Either way, it’s not a development I’m thrilled about.
My wife is supportive.
I've mentioned this development to my wife, and as always, she was supportive. She mentioned I also had a small bald spot near my crown.
Thanks, dear.
It seems my follicle troops are deserting me. That’s right, when you get old your body parts turn on you, and in some cases, even leave you. What to do?
Mistakes of bald guys of yesteryear.
Guys deal with hair loss like they deal with grief. In different ways. Actually, hair loss and grief often go together. I saw one man go to extraordinary lengths to hide his hair loss. No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump.
