I am new to the hair wearing community and I don't actually wear hair yet. I really hope that the hear wairing experience can end up being a positive one but I remain a little hesitant. I am not so concerned about people knowing about it if it looks good. I just don't want to look like a joke when I'm out and about. The idea of regularly glueing something to my head for the rest of my life and still being able to function is overwhelming me a little bit.
I went into a club type of place the other day (not the big one) and talked to the people there. I have to say that the whole thing didn't feel right. The men that were there were mostly older and not like me at all. The man I sat down with tried to sell me laser hair therapy first. The feel of the whole thing didn't seem very professional. I'm having a hard time finding words to describe the feel of the place without sounding snobby but the whole experience left me kind of down. Isn't there a better way??
I am not going to give up. I really want to find a solution to my problem that feels comfortable for me. Toplace could possibly be the answer but I am weary to trust a forum that is moderaated by a company. I hope that doesn't offend anyone.
Are there guys like me on this forum? I am 23 and I'm a personal trainer. I value my appearance. I have an active social life. I hope to do a lot of great things in my life without constantly worrying about my hair. I am realistic and realize that wearing hair will always have it's challenges, but I hope I can get to the point where most of those challenges are taken care of in the morning and I can go out and live my life without a ton or hastling with my hair.
My main concern is over the gym. I am there everyday. In all honesty, how much does wearing hair limit you at the gym? I am not so worried about my hair coming off. I am a little worried about the hairline and it lifting. Is it possible to go a couple of active days with a good attachment at the hairline or is that a daily struggle? If you read this and you have time to only answer one question that would be the one I am most concerned about right now.
If you have time for another question: How do you find someone you are comfortable with to help you with cut ins and even occasional reattaching. In the beginning I kind of want someone to help me figure things out. Like I said, I have been looking locally and I haven't been able to find any place that feels like a real salon. So far they have all felt like greasy toupee salesman.
Thanks for letting me vent and ask questions. Any answers are helpful.
