Why I Don’t Mind Losing My Hair…

Even with all the men on both sides of my family being bald, I knew that I never really stood a chance. Many young men face this realisation when they look at their fathers, uncles and grandfathers; but that didn’t stop it being a huge surprise when I started to thin on top at the tender age of 14. I knew that hair loss would come to me eventually, but I knew it was either stress or a poor diet that had accelerated the process.

Was I that bothered about losing my hair so early? Why should I be? Yes, it’s not an ideal situation, but it’s something that roughly two thirds of men have to endure and the fact is, some of histories greatest men of achievement and honour had very little on top. And if it didn’t stop them, so why should it stop me!
