It gives me a great boost of course, but since I'm the half empty glass kind of person, I tend to doubt everything, I say maybe they are just trying to be nice. Deep down, I know my girlfriend wouldn't go out with me if I looked funny, she's into fashion ffs. My mother has a short fuse, and she would never let me go out if I looked ridiculous. But sometimes, you want to hear another person's opinion. I get the occasional... "why do you wear hats when your hair looks so good!?" to which I reply... "cause I don't like my hair/ cause my head is too small" and I take it as a compliment... but yeah, I'm the half-empty-glass kinda person.

But you're right... one life! I gotta start worrying less, at the end of the day, who should give a s*it whether I wear or not, right? I can understand where this is coming from. I mean, I wouldn't have gone to this length if I couldn't give a rat's ass whether I was balding or not, so clearly, the image is very important to me.

yes i do everything by myself... cut, maintenance etc.

density... i think this one is 65% but john can confirm for you. color, i sent in a hair sample. Wave, hmm... not sure but I think it's the second range of waves - slight wave i think.

) cheers guys, you lot are great.

My current psychology is something like this:
I like wearing hats/ beanies/ caps etc... so when I go out to party, likelihood is you'll see me wearing one. I think they suit me. But in occasions where I do not have an option (weddings, work, etc) I can do a proper hairstyle now, without being paranoid and feeling depressed. Also, if I'm wearing headwear and someone takes off my cap, I'm not paranoid now. I can even go swimming without worrying that my hair is looking like shit, and will look worse when I accidently get water in it (as the concealers would go out). At the end of the day, I'm still keeping a close look at technology, and hoping that one day I can get my own full head of hair back. But in the meantime, I have this hair system solution, which is 80-90% acceptable to me, and is making this time all the less painful.

Thanks for the support lovely people.

I can relate with that post completely mate and your hair looks good in the photo's!

BTW how do you cut your hair? Do you use scissors, machine or robocutter etc? The main thing i hate about wearing is going to a normal hairdressers. It saves alot of money but I feel slightly embaressed about it.
