I Shaved My Head Due to Hair Loss | History, Thoughts & Reflections
I shaved my head May 7, 2023, due to a second hair loss I got last year, an Inflammatory alopecia. I have had female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) for 24 years since the age of 21.
I began wearing wigs 11 years ago at the age of 34.
I never expected to get a second hair loss, I never thought I'd be forced to NEED to make this choice for survival, to be able to continue to live with hair loss without it stealing any more of my life from me.
I don't love this, I don't love seeing myself with a shaved head, but it is better than the alternative, it is better than the creaturish loss that was more obvious before. In the months prior to shaving, I had reached a place I could no longer look at myself in the mirror, at all.
We have to do the things we need, to move forward, whatever those are in our life. Starting to wear wigs 11 years ago was life changing for me, and I thought I had it figured out, and I did, until I got a second hair loss that changed everything again and I was forced to adapt and evolve again.
Thank you for listening, thank you for being here.
