“This is certainly a far cry from the days when men either reluctantly accepted baldness or threw caution, along with self-respect, to the wind and donned a toupée – an accessory guaranteed to elicit derision and terrify small children.

“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”
Great blog piece. Personally, my hair started falling out at 13 years old, so can relate to this. Did it stop me in my strides? Erm, no.
