Im so attached to my hair, and thats my own fault.
Plus I have a very wide and high forehead and think ill look like a lightbulb head with no hair.
The amount of support and positivity around here is really impressive.
Hi all, long time lurker. Finally thought i'd post.Based on family genetics, my hair isn't going to stick around much longer. I currently wear it longer in a short ponytail. My temples started receding at 16 and its been a verrry slow decline since then. Im currently 33.I always told myself id shave my head when it was time - and it'll be time very soon. The problem is im terrified to do so. Im so attached to my hair, and thats my own fault.Plus I have a very wide and high forehead and think ill look like a lightbulb head with no hair.Regardless, you are all a great group of people. The amount of support and positivity around here is really impressive. You are all wonderful souls. Just wanted to share that.Cheers-
Thanks everyone for the warm reception. Its nice to have encouragement. As opposed to whenever ive mentioned me shaving to family and friends and i'm predominantly met with a response of, 'nooo why would you do that?!' I know im not going to shave for anyone else but me, but sometimes I wish those who have known me for years could be a little more supportive. Especially when they know its a transition im having difficulty with. I need to re-read some of the replies in this thread and let the wisdom sink in, lol.Thanks to those who shared personal stories and advice. Its very appreciated!
