I decided to post on this thread as my situation in some part the same as the original poster.

I started losing in my later 20's, I started to grow my hair out and then used concealers all looked good apart from not having a fashionable haircut.

There was only 1 person who actually said something about me losing hair, fortunately it was someone in my family I rarely ever see, infact I havent spoke to him in years the rest of our family are close.

The problem is I may see him in the next couple of years at a family occassion.

I know he'll mention my hair (well 90% sure)..

I should point out I wear a really small piece its only a small strip for the hairline the rest is my own hair and I mix my own hair in with it so theres no chance anyone could ever know. Its a perfect match and its so tiny that I would place a bet no-one on here wears a smaller piece its tiny, so I'm never anxious about wearing or anything like that.

Now I've been doing this for many years so the rest of my family dont know any different, but as I havent seen this relative for a long time I know he'll say something...what do I say?...its not the fact he'll say something to me, its the fact I'll probably be with other family members who would be surprised he brought it up because they would have no memory of me losing hair.

On a one to one basis I could handle it no problem but its the idea of his comment planting some doubt in other peoples minds that worries me.

I thought about the 100 different things I could say to respond to any comment he might make, but I think the best way is just to deny I lost any hair....and because he is bald maybe throw it back in his face like ....'dont be jealous I'll give you a bit the next time I have it cut'......make a joke of it and dismiss it.

what do people think?

I know in the whole scheme of things its hardly something to be too concerned with, family, friends poke fun about others all the time its harmless fun and I can give and take it no problem, but this particular possible situation does worry me a little...theres plenty of terrible things happening in the world and a silly comment by a relative is insignificant but i would jut like to get peoples opinions.

thanks.
