Problems of being bald

Being bald presents its own problems, first of all there is the degree of baldness. Slightly bald is the level of hairlessness most would confess to. It might be the lengthening of the forehead, the gradual thinning across the top of the head or the not so noticeable and easier to deny, spot on the back of the head. Whatever the initial attack on the once abundantly covered cranium, the outcome is usually that there is a perimeter around the head that does not seem to get the message that it is OK to vacate the premises. Thus becomes the problem that I am going to address later.

But before I get into that, let me state that I do not think the hair actually disappears I think it just packs up and moves. I have noticed that my nose seems to sprout an over abundance of hair growing out the nostrils and I actually feel that is the reasoning for snoring. In the relaxed state (such as being asleep) the mouth flops open to facilitate the unobstructed passage of air. Having done so, the incoming and the outgoing get all bollixed up together and scratching to get out or in, makes the snoring noise that is so annoying to the opposite sex (should they be in the vicinity). Luckily for me I do not have that problem. Neither do I snore, (well maybe on occasion) or dwell in the proximity of another human being while I am quiescent. I tried sleeping with a dog once (no pun intended) but soon discovered that they can be quite domineering in the overall area in which they need to recline. I will not go into that any further at this time since I am expounding on the intricacies of being bald and not the ins and outs of dog sleeping.

Other areas I feel the hair actually "reseeds" to are the ears. I have once again noticed that the edges of the ears, as well as the inside, seem to have become a favored new ground in which to abode. This causes it's own problems, those on the rim of the ear will grow quite lengthy if not taken care of. I have tried pulling, a very painful experience, clipping with scissors, equally as painful if you happen to get too close, and using the razor. Sometimes quite bloody and then you have the difficulty of stopping the bleeding and the scab afterwards. Given the choice I think the hair, even if it gets to the state one might think you are part werewolf is preferable to a scabby ear. With a little bit of expertise and some butch wax one can almost train them to lie down and give the impression of cultivation instead of disarray.
