(In a group of blokes , all with thinning hair) "Man you're lucky you still have all your hair. Is it real?" or "Man you're lucky you still have all your hair. What's your secret?"

Sams reply: haha nah I buy my wig from the local grocery store haha. Nah actually i had thinning hair couple of years ago till i started on a med called propecia, has helped me alot though..OH! did you hear what happened to so and so!?!?

(After getting a new piece that is noticeably longer than the one you wore the day before) "Man your hair grows fast. You get extensions?"

Sams reply: hahaa no, but my cousin actually tried it once and its supposed to really hurt! Although I would be open to a transplant when i get old and bald..haha what about you guys?

(After getting a new piece that is noticeably more dense than the one you wore the day before) "Your hair looks different. WHat did you do?"

Sams reply: Oh! I bought this really cool hairspray, adds volume to dry and and brittle hair! I guess it really works, but its DAM expensive!! bloody rip offs, what is it these days with everything going up in price! Hey guys, whats your take on the current economy crisis??

(In front of my late 30's aged friends who are all going gray while I wear my full cap with no gray). "How are you thirty-nine and have no gray?"

Sams reply: yeah guys i wish!! nah my uncle actually recommend a good hair dye for those nasty grays, although i actually reckon it can look quite good on some ppl remember, Richard Gere in pretty woman..looked awesome!


Dino mate, ITS NOT ANYONE'S BUSINESS. A bit of misdirection is not going to be a sin. DO i feel any of the above is dishonest and deceptive, not in a million years. DIno mate, you gotta be smart about these things, dont be a sucker to life, (im not saying u are at all)

It's a bit like being a magician, every second word that come out of their mouth when they are doing a trick is misdirection. They have the right to protect their livelihood and their secrets, after all its no ones business how its really done! I was a professional magician for quite a few years, so I may be used to 'misdirecting', but anyone can do it, and i feel is perfectly OK, especially when its your own personal issues and privacy, and your not hurting anyone!

You know your a good person. You have suffered with hairloss, and have had the courage to do something about it for YOURSELF. You have no responsibility to your friends or most of your family to tell them about your personal stuff. Its that simple. Mate the way I see it, life is REALLY a game, of which you have no choice but to be in it. Those who play can do well, and those who dont, well... most of them get the short end of the stick.

In 17 years if thats all the questions you got, your doing well mate!!

Again, its not about 'fooling' anyone then going home and laughing at them for not knowing, its about having the right to maintain your privacy.

Be smart guy!!! dont let your minds run you into the ground PLEASE!! CONFIDENCE boys!
