Balding Solutions – The Hair Cut That Changed My Life

I’ve had hundreds of haircuts in my lifetime Most of them I
have no memory of A few are memorable because of big changes in
style or important barbershop conversations For me, however, I
had one haircut that changed my life It revealed to me a truth
that I was completely unprepared for It horrified me I was
losing my hair
I was 19 and finishing my first year in college I always kept
my hair a bit long and decided it was time for some changes A
messy breakup and life away from my parents mostly fueled this
So I went to the barber and decided to go for something short
and spikey Instead I got short and surprising At my temples,
my hairline had noticeably receded
I was embarrassed Immediately I started buying Rogaine It
didn’t seem to be making any difference I grew my hair out
again Long enough to cover my growing forehead But this didn’t
work that well Any time I went swimming or showered, I’d have
to worry about keeping the hairs in their proper position
My main concern was that I didn’t have a girlfriend And if I
didn’t get one fast, no one would want to date me But after a
year, I had enough Another fateful haircut occurred I borrowed
a friends clippers and buzzed my hair
This resulted in an increase of comments from those who had been
fooled by my balancing hair act But it felt good somehow It
felt good to stop hiding it I also stopped buying and using
Rogaine I hated the way it felt on my scalp and it was costing
me a pretty penny
Several years later, I’m still losing my hair and I’m still
keeping it nice and short so everyone can see It’s a liberating
feeling No more hiding and worrying And I don’t have to fear
becoming “that guy” with the comb over If you’re starting to
lose your hair and are trying the fancy hair cut to hide it,
trust me: just cut it short and live with it You’ll be happy
you did
And as for that girlfriend problem? I don’t have to worry about
that either I found someone incredible And the best thing is
she loves my hair So don’t worry You’ll find one too
