Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been bald since my 20s, and I cannot tell you how many times I have had to explain my lack of hair. It's not a disease. I don't want a hair transplant or a toupe'. When people ask me when I lost my hair, I tell them I didn't lose it. I threw most of it away. It did hit me in the self-esteem when I was younger, but as I grew into my baldness, it is now just a part of who I am. And a bottle of shampoo lasts me a long time. I do, however, think I should get a discount when I get my hair cut.
