A new study suggests that balding men should just go ahead and Bic it all off: society sees men with shaved heads being more "manly."

Hi all,

Need some help and advice. I have alopecia totalis, i was diagnosed in june and now have no hair at all on the top of my head. I always said i would never shave it as iwanted to keep any hair that i had left...well it's now got too much and I thought, how about I do a sponsered shave? I want to shave my head and donate the money to some sort of alopecia charity but dont know how to go about it...any advice?

Thanks xxx

What a year its been so far. Unbelievable and Im totally gobsmacked. Im grateful and humbled that all that has transpired in the last 7 months. Curious as to what the rest of the year will bring.

Lets start this with the article that was written about me and voyages to the gym, which was issued in my local newspaper in late April. This was after I approached the marketing director of the gym I go to, about the possibility of raising some awareness about alopecia. I had been approached…

As luck would have it my mother owns a beauty supply that specializes in wigs and hairgoods in Orlando, FL. Ever since I can remember I have been around hair salons, beauty supplies and hair goods.

I have seen many cases of hair loss among men and women. So when I saw a bald spot in the back of my scalp 2 weeks ago, I knew exactly what it was. I was bewildered to the why I had alopecia areata suddenly, since I am in my 50's and have no family history of it. However as far as my immune…

I first felt an ich on the back of my head reach back to scratch it and felt the all to familiar - SMOOTH PATCH. Oh, Crap not again.

Yep, after some looking I have found two bald spots on the back of my head, about the size of silver dollars. Didn't even realize I was loosing it again until I felt the spot. It's not bad just makes me self concous when i'm walking outside and the wind is blowing. UGGHH, This is not what i really need right now, but such is life.

It's not fair or…

Its February 2012. At the end of February 2011 I realized after seeing a photo of myself, that my alopecia was beyond repair; not enough hair on my head to "cover" the spots as I had been doing the past 18 years. I went to my hairdresser, who was instrumental in fixing what hair I had left throughout the years to shave off what was left of my hair.

That happened on March 5th. Its almost a whole year. I've grown a great deal. I have had many realizations, some good, some horrible.…

Have you guys heard of alopeciapalooza? Anyone going or considering going?...we are going again this year*last year was our first year* and it was soooo awesome! I really hope to see more of your smiling faces there in August!!!

THERE was once a bald man who sat down after work on a hot summer's day. A fly came up and kept buzzing about his bald pate, and stinging him from time to time. The man aimed a blow at his little enemy, but — whack — his palm came on his head instead. Again the fly tormented him, but this time the man was wiser and said:

Made a new wig video recently. Still maintaining my Youtube channel, obsessing over 'insight' and grooming my playlists. Some playlists are so old that some of the videos are gone, deleted or user account closed. I get a decent number of views. I hope my videos and essays help people with the shock of being diagnosed with alopecia, or the dread of realizing that it IS going to progress to Totalis or Universalis from Areata. I want to reach both those women (and men) who choose to go natural…

Recently, a Redditor wrote Valve Software Company to inquire about the bald guy in the Valve logo pictured here. The Redditor got this really cool response from Ray Ueno:

I worked with Gabe and team to develop the "guy in the logo" back when we first named the company, Valve (circa 1995/6), and…
