So since I was around 15/16 I have been suffering from the infamous bastard known as male pattern baldness. Being a blonde with surf hair (blonde eybrows, eyelashes and arm hair as well) I am finding male pattern baldness a struggle. I am well past the stage of denial, being a Norwood 3V, I have a family history which basically has left me in a whole with no way out. My Grandfather (mums side) went bald at 19, my uncle same story, both of my brothers also went bald before 22, and on my dads side he is only just about as bald as me at age 56. I've recently found a companion at school (she doesn't know that I'm going bald) and we seem quite obsessed with each other. She's beautiful and smart and Im ugly blonde and going bald. Due to my ability to hide my MPB with my hugely long hair I have been able to place it in the back of my mind. However, now that me and my companion are becoming closer I feel as though I need to tell her about my baldness because I don't want to be anymore of an embarrassment to her especially when I'm the only bald kid (ugly as you will see in the picture) in my town. Im 17 I don't care how much she "loves" me I know that going bald will put her off. When I first got into the relationship with her I only wanted to experience what it's like to have a beautiful girlfriend, I never thought It'd go so far that I am too scared to lose her to baldness. All chemicals to fix my hair are out of the equation. I always get comments on how I "dont have eyebrows" or I have invisible eyelashes which makes going bald even worse. I want to cut my hair but still hide my baldness to try and push through until the end of school and concentrate on my studies. Help to choose a style would be appreciated. I just wanted to share my story and maybe receive some support from the great people of Bald Truth Talk. My bald brothers, I give you respect and props for your kind hearts and big shiny domes
. Sincerely, Jack.
