    The only reason my hairstyle has changed over the years is because of thinning hair.

    I used to have such thick, soft hair, people would joke that I was actually growing fur. Everyone loved to scruff my hair and I got compliments all the time.

    But now I’m in my 40s and the family balding curse has caught up with me. My hairline is receding, a bald spot is starting to show, and I needed to change up my style to avoid looking 20+ years older than I actually am. Eventually, I’ll just give up and let it do its own thing, but I need to experience my midlife crisis first. 😉

      My brother had a similar thing, and decided to just start shaving off everything and embracing the baldness. He’s been rockin’ the bald look ever since quite happily.

        I considered that, but I apparently have a really lumpy, scrotum-looking scalp. I do NOT look good bald. So… I gotta put up with what’s left of my hair as long as I can.
