I wanted to share my hair loss story and thank you

[Gusto]

My biggest regret is that I spent far too many years denying my baldness.

As a consquence, I had a silly comb-over. I must have looked a complete idiot.

I either should have cut my hair short, gained some respect - or worn a good hair system (toupee).

so did you eventually have work done?

I wore a hair system for about two months. But it didn't last long. The hair on these things don't have a constant supply of natural oils in it like natural hair.

Despite putting lotion on the hair, it still tends to dry out.

I suppose I got fed up, and cut my hair short and wore a baseball cap.

I ‘ve read your story before Zao and it always inspires me. I found the Bald Truth and Spencer Kobren a little later then I would have liked, but this past couple of years being a part of this forum and his radio show, I’ve called in and have gotten through 2 times, has helped me change my perspective on my life. Spencer if you are reading this thank you for everything you have done for all of us!

But, Artista, I haven't given up on fake hair just yet. I yearn for that full head of hair look.

Arista, Propecia worked wonders for me and I have had no side effects since I started. I’m in the process of seriously thinking about a hair transplant, but since I still have most of the hair that I had when I started Propecia, I’m a bit hesitant to pull the trigger right now. There’s no reason to be afraid of Propecia, it you have any problems just stop taking it. It works, why not give it a shot?

Im always open to a new approach to most things. So Gusto,,you haven't given up on fake hair? It IS a pain to deal with isnt it? What is the difference between that and weaves by the way?

I think weaves are woven into your existing hair (I could be wrong) and hair systems (or toppers) are just attached to the head (glued or taped).
