35 & it's time.

[combover]

I've noticed that my hairline started receding in my early twenties. Most people told me I was forming an adult hairline, so I didn't worry about it because it wasn't that big of a deal. By my late twenties, it was getting apparent to me and those around me that I could only have certain hair styles. I've lived with that for awhile now, but it's getting so that my receding hairline is obvious no matter what hair style I wear. I consider myself lucky to have had coverage for this long. My hair has always been fine and it seems I have my fathers hairline which has been described as a mowhawk, high temples, frontal hair in the center, and coverage on the top.

Even though this has been a sensitive topic when friends would make jokes, I tried to keep in perspective that people take little things too hard and there are worse things than losing one's hair. However, now I am single again and I think my receding hairline is effecting my self-esteem and women's reactions to me. People often mistake me for being older & although I am getting older, I don't want to be perceived as older than I am. I'm hoping to get a HT this spring and I hope I will have enough money to get enough grafts to make a noticeable change. I'm hoping to see Dr. Konior as I am impressed with his work. Initially, I planned to see Dr. Wolf because he is closer to my home (Indy), but it seems he's going to be off for a year.
