SCIENCE AND MEDICINE
When I started losing my hair at the age of 31, I researched all the various options for hair loss treatment science and medicine had provided in modern times. I looked up special shampoos, prescription drugs, and even the best method of shaving your head or how to best wear a hat. In the end, I decided that I just wouldn’t lose all my hair. Or, rather, I’d make everyone else think that I hadn’t lost any of my hair. Yes, I’m not exactly proud of it, but I went and got myself fitted for a wig. No one knows since they fit these things to your thing so closely and strongly these days that a hurricane couldn’t whip it off. I might tell my wife, if I ever get married, one day about this, but never our children. They need a strong and proper role model and not a balding one. No one else needs to know. I take this secret with me to my deathbed. It wouldn’t hurt anyone else in any way not to know about this and it enriches my life. I feel like me again! And I’ll never stop feeling like me again so long as I have beautiful, black hair! It might be an act of desperation, but it’s one I’ll always treasure.
