I have to say Baldrich that I respect your point of view, but its not one I share entirely.
When I was young and was losing my hair, I think I would have agreed with you 100% about how it feels.
But for me that has long since passed and I now see hairwearing as just an optional enhancement and not a cure for an affliction.
I think this attitude is becoming (slowly) more prevalent amongst the young who have grown up in a society that has embraced self improvement.

As for a mother never being able to fully understand, again that wasn't my experience.
We had several long discussions and my mother was able to fully understand my distress.
She even offered to donate some of her own hair follicles (thinking that might be possible) when I went for my transplants..
I don't think you can get more understanding than that!
