Life is like a grapefruit
I think I’m going bald
There comes a time in most men’s lives when they look at their father’s and grandfather’s hair lines and think about when they will lose their hair. I was pleased to see that the men on my father’s side of the family maintained a strong widow’s peak, though their hairline receded. My hair started receding, and my forehead growing, since my early teens, so I felt pretty confident that I would at least keep most of my hair.
My wife and I had a deal that should I start to lose my hair, she would let me know when it was time to start shaving it off to retain some dignity. About six months ago, she started to look at my hair and quirk an eyebrow. I knew it was time for one more hairstyle before never being able to support one again. So for once I went in to a hair dresser with an idea of a hair style I wanted, and left feeling really good about my hair. A couple of months later I went in again and noticed that my hair dresser was taking a lot more effort to work my hair forward. I left feeling significantly worse.
This week, I realised that the front of my hair, what I thought would be the strong peak of my hair into old age, had become fuzzy and thin. Before it could become isolated into the dreaded unicorn style, it was time to take action.
This is the last hair style I will ever have, and I’m ok with that.

I think I have personally shaved no less than three ex-boyfriend’s heads, assisting them in taking that last inevitable step. And so it goes. (It looks good on you. Off you. You know what I mean!)

Looking good, sir!

Stand tall, head high…you’ve never made a better decision. Now you can sit back and laugh at the ‘in denial’ bald guys with everyone else.
