I'm 42. I went bald suddenly at the age of 30. It wasn't through illness. It was the familiar male pattern baldness. But I went from a reasonable head of hair to the 6x9 baldness in about 2 years.
It sucked. :thumbdown2:
For about three years I wore hats, or shaved my head. Then I decided to try a toupee. The first few I bought set me back about $3,000 and they were all hideous. I wore them in the house, and still wore a hat to go outside. That's how bad they were.
I then bought a full cap, but I wasn't happy with it. Don't get me wrong it was a good system but it was hot and sticky and my head didn't feel free.
Then I found a place that advised me to wear my system as if it were my own hair. I know that sounds odd, but what I mean is that I had been dyeing my hair to match my 100% dark black systems. I'm naturally about 50% gray, so I decided to let my own hair color show and have a perfect system to match. No hair dye jobs.
It's the best thing I did. My hair is salt and pepper color and looks really natural. Dyed toupees look awful. That's where I'd been going wrong.
