Fair enough OP, if that is your decision and you are comfortable with it then go ahead. In my observation, I think there are 3 perspectives with hair loss:
1) Those who moan and complain about it but won't do anything about it
2) Those who fully embrace it by either shaving all their hair off or still keeping the hair they have but accepting the hair loss and don't try and hide it (e.g. think of someone like Phil Collins, who was always balding/receding but never hid it).
3) Those who actively do something about their hair loss, either by taking meds, using thickening shampoos, changing diet etc, or by using hair loss concealers, getting a hair transplant or wearing a hair system.
Obviously you don't want to be in category 1). I do kinda admire people who are in category 2), who can fully 'own' their hair loss and display it to the world and still be confident and secure in themselves, however it's not for everyone.
I am in category 3). I know I do not look good with a shaved head or a head of hair with bald patches. I look infinitely more attractive as well as younger by having a full head of hair. Plus I'm a rock musician and I need to maintain a certain look, so I wear a hair system and I'm very comfortable with my decision.
I don't think it displays a lack of confidence to wear hair. There's nothing wrong with wanting to maximise your looks, and let's face it we all feel better when we like the way we look too. And like it or not, looks DO play a part if you're still in the dating/hook up game or if you're in a business where you're on display all the time (like being a musician, model, actor, celebrity etc).
I think a hair system simply allows me to be the real me, to look the way I want to look without the cruelness of hair loss preventing me from having the look I want.
If anyone feels it's fake to wear hair - well, we're all bald underneath our bio hair anyway, and we're all naked underneath our clothes! Yet we don't complain about that. A hair system is just another way of making yourself look better, and life is too short not to do that in my opinion.
But equally, if the OP is someone who can 'own' shaving his hair off, then more power to him! Some people do actually look great, if not better, with a shaved head. I am not one of those people, though.
