Hi guys: serious question. Having taken finasteride and applied minoxidil without success I am coming to the end of the road. My hair loss is now so bad that I dread going out. I would dearly love to shave my head but it is a really bad shape and this is just unthinkable for me. I am looking at hair systems, but have lots of concerns: especially as my sides are so thin; and the costs (which am not sure if I can afford long term). I am 58 and no longer work, so am wondering if an option is to simply never been seen without some for of head covering: indoors and out. Was sitting opposite a Sikh on the metro the other day and thought that for him hair loss wold be much less a matter of anxiety. And of course Muslim women cover their hair permanently in public. Does anyone live their life with permanent head coverings? And do you get used to it? Would welcome any insights.
