Yorkie..We all went through that same process, some went to more extremes than others. We all have one thing in common, we all HATED loosing our hair ! I tried shaving my hair... didnt work. Some guys look really good that way, I just wasnt one of them. It great now days you can have some affordable DIY hair that looks good and not have to pay huge $$$$ through the nose to a salon or a hair club. You have great forums like this one with helpful people who have been in your shoes and will help with any questions. Ware on !!!
