Bald is beautiful
Hair loss has occurred over a longer period is, and I had to do with it, and I can assure you the journey was not easy! People who lose) hair (men and women who are dealing with a profound change in their life and appearance. And do not look in the mirror every day, does make it easier!
Losing my hair was a little 'surprise to me because it was not hereditary. My father and grandfather both had a head full> Hair. If there was hair loss in my family, I expect to lose at least some of my hair, but there was no baldness in my family at all. It happened to me the hair loss for me for forty years until my mid-fifties. Month after month … changed my appearance, and I was not happy about that!
During my marriage aged nineteen, I was worried about my hair loss, but what can I do? Buy a pair of snake oil and rub into my scalp?Hair loss is really a problem with me if my ex-wife and I parted our ways! Now, I was very concerned about the influence of hair loss, and now it was a different story! He was asked all sorts of ugly questions came to mind: "would any other woman ever to me?" When a woman dancing, who would in turn? There would never be a carpet? (TIG) Get a hair bear out of the question because of the cost. How should I handle allit?
The first thing I had to answer, I always wear a wig? Perhaps the process of sewing a wig has progressed to the head, and in many cases is not known either. But even if I could afford it, I would do? I always fear of the wig falling in my soup … or worse, fall into the soup foreigners! I would have the practical joker of the world goes, etc.

Years ago I worked for an engineering company for more than tenYears, and a man named Les was the chief in our department. He was about 48 years at the time of the incident I will describe, and he became known as a bowling ball. It was the kind of person who has lost his hair early in life … in the late twenties and thirties. I knew Les for many years and I know he was … is not, so to speak!
Les one day in our laboratory, and they wore something … It 'been a carpet! (TIG) My boss and I workedthat day, and we both have a double take when we saw, Les enter the lab! Boy Boy or … I wanted to say! I do not know if Les was just joking or serious wear the wig! I knew that this would be a sensitive issue, and I should treat with care. Les has been there, waiting for a comment on his new look! Me and my boss has been there with my mouth open, and a glazed look on our faces and none of us knew what to say!
I had to say aboutsomething, and I came short for words, so I turned to my boss and asked, "Today is Halloween, Tony?" Both Les and my boss started to laugh! I thought it a bit 'of humor would help break the tension of the moment! I was still speechless, and I tried to find the right words to address the situation, but I had no problems and I could tell my boss had a problem, too!
So I have a chance of what I thought a little humor would be 'more to break the stress and said:Les: "I've never met before, sir, but you look a bit 'as the head of our development department, Les, the determination of the Opera Hall. There is a striking resemblance to you, Les!?" Les laughed and replied: "No, I never met this guy, Les All three of us had a good laugh, what was happening! But, can I still serious about this issue and how to handle it? No. This was a difficult situation!
Fortunately, Les was not long before leaving the lab after a fewMinutes. Me and my boss has been there to look like a tree full of owls, "what had just happened!" We were both speechless! I remember saying to my boss … No matter what hair I lose, I would never wear a carpet … ever! So the day had come … It was time for me to put up or shut up! How should I handle the situation of hair loss is and what should I do?

To get the answer, I had to go back to myChildhood, etc. I'm Hispanic and I grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods (barrios), close to railway facilities in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I do not speak or write English well. (not yet) The area was predominantly Spanish and at the age of fourteen, my family moved into a predominantly white area in the amount of Albuquerque. It 'was at this young age that I should take a decision on how I treat me for the rest of myLife.
One of my sisters were ashamed of being Hispanic. Dates would have to answer the front door and ran away from home … do not want to see them at home and family! And 'true … that the manner in which it was … from their families and embarrassing! She was very light complected and do not look Hispanic at all. He said he wanted White! Can you believe it? I have my sister was on the wrong track and should be proud of their race and theirFamily. Of course she would never listen to a GUMMER Bubble fourteen years old like me!
At school, kids teased me because I do not speak English well. But it would be just the time it would remedy this problem, because I had to get used to speaking English. So at a young age I had to decide if I wanted a lazy-boloney like my sister, or if I just wanted to be myself! Despite the jokes, I … I decided to just be yourself! I did not want to be white orany other color, did not want to be a different race, not yet! And so it is with the loss of hair … There is not much I can about what nature made me do, and I continue to be alone! There is no other way!

After my ex-wife and I separated, I joined a singles club of about 650 members. This would be the test for me, with regard to women have been hit! The club has a dance floor and I have always loved to dance and was "shaking my booty," asI was ten when rock and roll began. Now the decision was "proof of the pudding", like me, having to ask a woman to dance! I could do it? Rejected worried because I was doing on my appearance, what would be a big minus for me! I must say I was quite nervous when I hit the singles club for a dance for the first time
The band rocked the night, and I really want to go out on the dance floor in the worst way, I wanted … but not me! I haveask a woman to dance all night, for fear of rejection! And believe me, it was painful, because I'm usually the first on the dance floor. I liked the music and dance that night, but I was not happy that I could not get the courage to ask a woman to dance! If you've always wanted to dance again, I had to dig deep and come with the courage I needed to dance a woman to do, and that everything was there it was!
I never get to drink too muchthe "courage" needed to ask a woman to dance, so without a drink! He had the courage to come from inside me … I hope that this time would be for me later when I was used to being single. In short … I finally had the courage to ask a woman to dance and was not rejected! Hooray! I was so excited! Over the next few weeks, every woman who asked me to dance, … danced with me, boy, certainly helped increase my self-esteem and confidence! I can really say … I was sorelief!
But in the next 18 months, something happened that surprised me! Until now (2006), I still can not believe all this happened to me, and continues to happen with me! During this period, over 35 different women (all ages me) was asked to dance! And every time a woman asked me to dance, it was an honor for me … But I was shocked! Why me? These women have their eyes examined? Have mercy on me? They think I am a wallflower and need some company?These women have to shrink one? ME? These women were so lonely, she asked me to dance? During this time I was so confused that with me, and I had no idea what to think!
I must say I'm a good dancer, because I was there so long. Referring started in the mid-fifties when rock and roll. (Ger bragging again?) Women like to dance with good dancers. Do not want a 'weapon of mass destruction to dance ", the steps on your feetand broke in the process, etc. But I said, it is women that soon men. And there are women who do not want to be caught dead with a bald man! (I would not be caught dead with a bald man, either!) Sun says that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (yeah, right! Say) Needless to say, which came in the 18 months I have been in a lot of me feel better. But in 2006, I still get nervous when I dance with a woman … I am always a pink slip is on the road!
But,This article is not about dance or romance … is an attitude! How is a person who will deal with the loss of hair! What do you wear a baseball cap everywhere they go, including the shower? Wearing a wig? What will they maintain their self-esteem and confidence in? And for those who have gray hair … get a panic … The Sky Is Falling … go out and buy a 55 gallon drum of hair dyes and jump in it! I do not think he understoodPain, a person loses hair goes through … and is usually for a long time! So, if a person is their gray hair … or a different color, should enjoy … at least they have hair!
E 'was the great philosopher and comedian, Flip Wilson, one of the great comics of our time. And his character with the name "Geraldine," he said … "… What You See Is What You Get, Sucker!" I agree with your words! Attitude is everything … and my attitudelosing my hair is simple: to be myself … old and grace … Idiot!
