Sorry about your Dad & his Wife dude.  Really am.

I got my hair cut about 4 times since I retired from the military in 2007, never shorter than just below my shoulders.  I've been steadily losing hair the whole time, on top, but keeping it tied back most of the time hid it well.  Then in the last year, wow... hair loss went into overdrive.  I tried cutting it fairly short on the sides and keeping it combed straight back for a couple months... until I caught a side view of myself with another mirror.  I looked like that dork trying to hide his bald by going around with a whisp of grey/brown smoke hanging just over his skull. 

Buzz cut it the next day.  F'it, it was meant to be.

Thanks, Tumor.

It seems like my head lost 5lbs of hair, a couple bird nests and I think a 4mm Allen wrench that I lost was in there. I went with AKIrons numbers and had them all individually cut at 2mm on the sides and 3mm up top. Feels good. It kinda looks like I'm wearing a white swimming cap. I ought to dye it black and roll with it or paint "USA waterpolo" onto it.

I'd post a photo but I haven't been able to find a filter that makes me look handsome. They all seem to think I'm a farm animal! So much for AI being smart...

That's a great thing about getting old. I don't care.

My wife has cut my hair for years. The first time she was a bit nervous. I told her it grows back and to have fun. She did a great job and now can cut it really quickly.
