Hi home1212 and thanks for your input. It's not a common response but a very valid one and the reason I posted this thread.
I have considered shaving my head and accepting it. Hard to do tho. Luckily my missus said she doesn't care either way!
Being realistic, I will end up a Norwood 6/7 judging by my balding pattern and looking at my brother and father. Also I would need more than 1 surgery if I decide to go ahead. It's a case of now or never and I intend to do as much research as possible before making any decision.
Hi Melvin. It certainly is. However, being able to style my hair again would feel fantastic.
I intend on getting a full scalp analysis before making my decision.
