Be Bald and Be Free Day 2022
Alopecia. Baldness. Either the partial or complete absence of hair from areas of the body where it usually grows.I knew I was going bald in high school.
STILL my daddy thought it was a matter of human decency that I attend school with the contours of an onion.
Then I graduated and was able to grow my hair only to find it abandoning my scalp rapidly.
You can't win when you're required to adhere to 'the navy way'.

It is a celebration of baldness and spotlights those heads that God decided not to put hair all over.
Lots of things cause baldness. My particular affliction is called "male pattern baldness" and is due to a hormone in the follicles called DHT which causes them to go dormant.
AKA androgenetic alopecia, it is the most common type of progressive hair loss in those of the male persuasion.
It is said that half of the men have some level of hair loss by age 50. It is also said that some 70% of men will lose hair as they age.
I'm not happy with the situation and early on I did think I was going to beat it ... but aside from a couple hundred thousand dollars in hair plugs you can pretty much forget about it.
Minoxidil works marginally but when you stop that you lose both what you had gained and everything else as well.
Suffice it to say I just became exhausted from the fray and the baldness won.
Anyway, I have met women who are not averse to being around bald men. I have not, however, found any who prefer bald men.
I also think that primping with your comb in public sets a horrible example.
So anyway, seeing how a hair piece could never be for me I'm bald, I accept it, and I don't think it's going anywhere.
Happy Be Bald and Be Free Day you bald headed cooter.
