Anyway, I'm way too vain to take a pic of my actual barren scalp so instead, I'll show you the closest thing I could find:
Now I'm using this Man shampoo that's supposed to boost hair follicle growth at the scalp and strengthen the existing shaft. Does that mean I'll grow a penis too?
Already, I foresee 2 problems with this treatment:
1) It smells like athlete's foot powder (don't ask how I know that too)
and
2) I need to wash my hair daily.
Sorry but daily hair washing does not fit into the whore's bath category. Then Tom flat out tells me that he's not a fan of this new regime and thinks if I get any shampoo on my skin I'll sprout hairs all over my body (and I quote) "[he] did not marry a wooly mammoth!"
This should be interesting.
While I'm writing this now Tom's in bed next to me and Chumley jumps up to lay on his chest. Before he lays down he stands on his chest for a few seconds just getting his bearings and Tom says all serious, "Chumley, you know I don't like asses in my face." Good to know. Who says after 12 years you don't learn something new everyday?
Ok I just sprayed myself with the scalp treatment and the side of my head feels all crackly like it's shriveling up. Weird. It's tingly then crackly again when I raise my eyebrows. I feel like I have rice krispies in my brain.

I'm on the Nioxin boat with you. I lost a lot of hair after giving birth to Will. I have my bangs that I purposely cut and then another layer of "bang" that is about 3/4 an inch that's growing back. It's lovely.
Make sure you're taking a great multi-vitamin... and plenty of protein. Oh... and Nioxin won't give you arm hair :).
When I saw your facebook status "I'm going bald"... I almost replied "Brazilian?" It's the esthetician in me!
Awww .. Welcome to the club sweetie. I too have a bit of receeding hairline around my temple area. This and a 'growing' swath of greys that I get fed up with and color now and then. Age or genes, I can't decide which. Little consolation but there are many women, as young as their 20s even, that can develop this condition. Scary.
I'm there with you re. washing your hair not so often. Less washing is actually better for your hair.
Considering the source of the hairdo comments, maybe you should seek a second opinion from a salon where, even if they have to give you bad news, they will make you feel good while they're delivering it. BTW - I have never thought your hair looked thin. YOU are thin, but not your hair. =)
OMG Karen, I will show you next time I See you. You've seen my explosive gut, so this can't be any worse. If I have enough wine tonight, I might just take a pic and post it. It's really, really bad. And I'm noticing big ass clumps when I shower again. Tom calls it, "my bush" cuz I leave tufts of hair all over the shower walls.
Karen makes a good point. Sometimes budget cutters can get it wrong and can be so infuriatingly matter of fact about things. One told me once that I definitely had split ends?!? Which I knew wasn't the case. Crazy thing is she was so matter of fact. It was a bit comical.
