[AnnieBL]

Annie, sadly all my outings still use a wig (I have two ...very similar, though one is a little longer and darker). However, I have not cut my hair in over a year now. It was very short before but is coming close to where I may soon be brave enough to try going without a wig. Thankfully, the E seems to have accelerated the rate at which it grows. It is never going to look as good as the wigs, but it will be real. :-)

I've sometimes wondered whether my massive early hair loss may have been dysphoric. It isn't hereditary, and I lost a lot of hair one suummer term at school when I was 11 and very unhappy, to the extent that I was taken to a specialist, with what conclusion I know not. It grew back again but sfarted falling at a phenomenal rate from my late teens onwards into my early twenties by which time there wasn't a lot left - just enough to train wispy strands across the top for a few more years. It may have been DHT but perhaps not. It was a great relief to all when I finally cut off the last few strands. On the other hand I haven't paid a barber for fifty years so that should pay for a few wigs . I'm sure nothing I have taken has ever sprouted a single hair on my head, and now, presumably due to very, very low T, maybe as low as yours, all my body hair has gone except for a bit at the crotch and a weak beard growth, finally putting me at an advantage over most of you.
