Its dead cells that adorn your head, you are putting a bit too much into it. If this is your biggest worry you have an easy life. Sure the ego hit when you no longer look like you think you should stings, and for a while, but nobody else cares. It's just us against us. Your hair didnt define who you were before, why would that change?

All that said, thanks for sharing, plenty of other people struggle with this. I kbow for a short time I did. I took the shatner advice and just shaved it and got on with my life.
