I discovered I had alopecia areata in 2009 during a few months of extreme emotional stress. It sucked!
My hair is long and awesome now but i'm showing the beginnings of some male pattern baldness - unfortunately not the sexy Jason Statham kind. it's the kind where I could only excusably cover it up all the time if i converted to judaism and wore a Kippah.
What will i do when my baldness gets worse, or if my alopecia returns? I'm too young and baby-faced to be a Patrick Stewart type, or a silver-fox of any kind. Do I do the cue-ball look and start buying scalp wax? Do I tattoo my scalp? Do I wear super fluorescent shoes to distract people so they don't look at my head? Do I own a plethora of wigs to suit any occasion, or even just my mood?
Of this I am certain:
I am far too amazing to face this with anything less than pure awesomeness. So I am looking for a alopecia/baldness contingency plan. Suggestions?
