Shaved or Unshaved?

At a meeting today someone mentioned my gray hairs and attributed them to my being married now. I actually started getting gray hairs about 5 years ago when I was 25. Not a lot you understand, but that’s when they started appearing. I noticed the guy who made the comment is in his 40’s and has no gray hair on his head, but he does on his goatee. He must be dying it. Bad move. My dad recently made the cross from more gray hairs than brown (sorry dad, but it’s true), so I figure I still have another 25 years before that happens to me. I don’t think I will really care when it does happen.

One thing I never have to worry about is going bald. My hair is so thick, and I have so much of it, I would have to dip my head in acid for it to ever fall out. But, if I ever did start balding, I would shave my head way before it happened. James did this. He had to do it when he was around 27 because it was going fast. Are the people that try to comb their hair over in denial? There was a guy at my first job we called “Ten-hair”, because all he had left was about 10 hairs and he wore them in a ponytail. Sad. I had a teacher in Germany that combed his hair forward. He literally parted his hair from ear to ear. Everything in front of his ears was combed forward, everything else was combed back.

If your hair goes gray, let it go. If it starts falling off, shave it. No Rogaine, no hair plugs, no fancy combing techniques. Unless you’re a woman, because that would just look weird.
