Hope for Baldness
This morning while my one daughter was practicing her hand stands - and the other daughter was bugging the one practicing her handstands I was sitting reading my Time magazine, January 17, 2011 issue. For those of you who own this addition I would like to focus on a small article on page 17 under the page heading "Briefing". Hope Against Baldness which says, "men who lose their hair may have on more option for regrowing their vanished crop: new research shows that balding areas have the same number of hair stem cells as more hirsute ones. Researchers hope to boost populations of a progenitor cell that somehow fails to develop from the stem cells."
It's sad to admit but anytime I see new development for hair loss - I'm pretty excited. Mind you by the time they actually figure everything out I'm sure I'll be in the ground already - but I can still dream. My wife says she loves me bald and would be sad to see me try and grow my hair out again. Of course she's just being a good wife :)
I started losing my hair when I was in college at age 22. I remember the moment that I figured it out as clear as yesterday. I was on the basketball team and we were watching tape from the previous game. The person who taped the games sat up high in the stands. From that angle I had a clear view of the missing patch on the top of my head. It wasn't completely gone, but in my eyes it was close enough. I started cutting my hair really short from that day on and in a matter of a few years took the next step to shaving it completely off.
Just to be clear I don't hate being bald, there are clear advantages - no more trips to the barber - people rub it for luck - get to be the subject for countless bald jokes - and of course being mistaken for Howie Mandel is nothing short of spectacular. However for this blog I decided it would be fun to see what I would look like with a current quaff. Picking some popular male actors that I'm sure the female readers (and I guess some male readers) will enjoy, the following is the outcome. They all look pretty awesome :) Which one do you like the best?
Justin Beiber Look
Zac Efron Look
Robert Pattinson Look
Owen Wilson Look
