Like many a man out there, I have gone largely bald. It started when I was in my late twenties and early thirties, and was pretty well established by my mid-thirties. I seem to recall that it was traumatic at first, with at least one period of attempting to use a 'special style hair cut' (aka a funny comb-over), with which to hide the issue.

But fairly quickly I resigned myself to my fate, and bought a set of
hair clippers, turned them to blades only, and gave myself what
colloquially is known as a 'number one' all over my head. Do you
know what? Such was my false conceit that everyone was looking at me,
that I expected comments and embarrassment all day. However no one said
anything at all until well past lunchtime, and even then they were
unsure why I looked 'different', and one girl even complimented for my new 'nice clean look'.
