About

Although I began ImGoingBald.com with the optimistic intention of maybe hitting on some kind of miracle cure, it’s gradually become less than that, and more than that.

Condensed, here’s my story:

  • Upon discovering my hairline was receding in my late teens, I worried a little.

  • Upon discovering it receding a bit more in my early 20’s, I worried a little more.

  • Upon discovering it receding much more in my mid 20’s I worried further.

  • Upon discovering my crown thinning shortly after and feeling pretty sick about it, I began treatment.

  • I began buzzing my head and although I continue treatment which now appears to be re-growing some of my hair thus allowing my the option of growing it in a longer style, I tend to keep it buzzed. It’s nice having the option, and that’s about as far as it goes for me, now.

It’s become less than the original goals because I personally no longer feel the burning desire to combat my hair loss with daily research and testing and hoping. If science with huge incentives, and thousands of men obsessing with every treatment under the sun can’t crack it, I’ve no chance.

The best I can do is relate my own experiences and simple methods, which currently appear to be working.

It’s become more in another sense because I now feel I have enough experience in going bald to realize accepting and moving with the change is the best cure for baldness. Yes, it’s nice to have hair. Yes, I’d prefer to have a full head of hair again. Yes, I’m still interested in new treatments – and will report on them – but I no longer feel as if my life depends on it, yet, it may have gone the other way if I hadn’t snapped out of it.

I feel my attitude is the most valuable asset I posses, and hope those reading my blog heed my advice, which is simple:

  • Buzz
  • Familiarize
  • Accept
  • Embrace

Sure, you can keep treating as I do to keep the option open for longer hairstyles, and sure, do as I do and keep up to date once in a while with new treatments. But don’t let it ruin your life. Life is change, after all, so make the best of it.
