I think a legitimate concern that needs to be addressed by any man, balding or not, is: what does my head look like?
I am in need of a haircut, and haven’t made it down to the barber yet. On some mornings, I am fully ready to just shave my head and be done with it, since my hair can have a mind of its own. Like most men, I am of the opinion that less time spent screwing with my hair is more time I can spend doing guy stuff like drinking coffee, scratching myself, and debating the pros and cons of a 1/2 inch router bit vs. a 3/4 inch bit.
However, I am also fully aware that underneath my full, flowing locks my head looks like a bowling ball that had a disagreement with a wood chipper. I don’t think I’ve had more than my share of cranium-disfiguring accidents, but I have had a few, and I don’t want to subject those around to me to what might be a disturbing sight.
I only wish that other men had the same foresight when they decide to go for the clean-shaven look. I have seen noggins that had no business seeing the light of day, either because they were scarred and battered or grotesquely misshapen. Please, if you are losing your hair (purposely or otherwise,) take the feelings of those around you into account. I don’t need to see a decaying cantaloupe. That’s what the SciFi channel is for.
