For more than a decade I've had no
need for combs or shampoo. I don't have hair on my head, and at this
point honestly, I'm over it.
But lately I've been wondering how
far the technology has come since I first noticed my growing bald spot
all those years ago. I found out when we paid a visit to the Hair Loss
Clinic in Alexandria.
Trichologist, or hair loss expert, Bobby Spence showed
off everything from his low level laser therapy to some new versions of
old favorites like Minoxidil or Rogaine.
They also have some pretty realistic looking hair pieces
that glue on to your scalp and won't embarrass you, if you're willing to
plop down $500 or more to have one.
Spence even looked at my head under magnification and
said my hair follicles are still alive, so that if I had the desire, I could likely have a
significant portion of my own hair back again.
I'd have to continue the treatments basically for as long
as I wanted to keep the hair, but doing this story did accomplish one
very important thing: You see, when I lost my hair it felt like I didn't
have any say in the matter. Mother Nature had let me down. Now, I could
perhaps change all that, but the the reality is that now... I'm over it.
