I am bald and it's OK

Let me clear up things that I get asked. I didn't shave my head to make a statement. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder known as alopecia. My hair started falling out when i was in high school. My senior year, I wore a wig the entire time. Long story short, after a few years I grew tired of it and altogether stopped wearing it and never looked back. Little more about alopecia, i have the most severe form called universalis. Which means that i no hair at all. I do have eyebrows and lashes but those are fake. Except for the fact that I hair, I'm perfectly healthy. I love life and the last is don't feel sorry for me, because I don't feel sorry for myself.

Glad that you are comfortable with your baldness. Nothing wrong with being hairless. I ran into a 7 year old girl who was likewise bald. My wife having gone through cancer had spent time hairless and she asked the girl's mom if the girl was going through chemo. The mom said no. The girl had alopecia. Her hairless condition did not stop her playing with her friends and family.
