Thanks for all the kind words gentlemen.
Let me tell you like Anabolichalo, this was one of my greatest insecurities. It started at age 35. I'll be 45 in 2 months. It was just the crown thinning and it wasn't too bad. My dad has a thinning crown but a solid hairline. I grew locks and one reason was to hide the thinning. They were cool but I always had to wear them a certain way. That bothered me. I didn't like that I was hiding. I shaved the locs 2 years ago and had cornrows. My braider had to use extensions and her talents to hide the crown and by this time, the thinning in the front advanced and bad. It was inevitable. I used hair fibers it covered it but wtf. Fuck that.
I look at all the great bald men in history in sports, politics, business etc. And I thought wtf? I at least had it till 40 and I've seen videos and heard testimonies of guys who lost their hair in their 20s.
This morning I took out the cornrows and looked in the mirror and saw the pic attached but add a bald crown.(btw, that's Jaime Fox, not me for some that have trouble telling us apart.
)
I actually shed a tear and told myself it's time and I got my clippers and took care of business. I'm finally gonna own this shit and not let it own me cause it certainly did.
