How many of the actors you admire have suffered from hair loss? Do you look at them and feel sorry for them? I don’t.
What we do with our hair changes our appearance. I know that seems like a “duh” comment, but think about it. Can you imagine what Captain Picard would look like with hair? How about Yul Brenner (the king in “The King and I”)? They would be totally different men and probably not placed in those roles had their hair been different (or present).
As for the women: Demi Moore looked pretty good with a buzz cut in G.I Jane. Kirstie Alley was fabulous as a Vulcan with no hair in “Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn”.
We seem to want what we have no control over. Can you control your hair loss? Is that why the loss itself is bothering you so much? How does your spouse feel about your hair loss? I happen to think my husband looks even more handsome with his hair buzzed short!
I know we need to feel good about ourselves, but did we decide if we don’t feel good about our hair loss because we don’t have any control over it, or it really looks bad. Chances are it does not look bad to anyone else. We need to stop being so critical of ourselves.
Take some time to decide why you feel why you do about your hair loss. You may find that it has nothing to do with your looks and everything to do with how out of control you are of the loss.
