Hair loss affects men of all races and ethnicities. One commonly held belief amongst some is that it’s easier for black men to deal with baldness because it’s more socially acceptable for a black man to have a shaved head.
While this may be true for some men, columnist Mike Seate, a staff writer for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in Pittsburgh, PA provides a more introspective insight into the subject of “balding while black”.
“My intention was to be sporting a mane of long, black dreadlocks, hoping to imbue my writing with what the late reggae singer Bob Marley called “the wisdom and authority of the dreadhead.” Mother Nature, however, had other plans.
After 20 years of shaving my head, I tried to grow hair again — only to find that my scalp has gone all dust bowl on me. This leaves my plans for an exotic, Rastafarian hairstyle as unfulfilled as my career as an Afro-Sheen model.”
Read Mike’s column to find out how he has dealt with the dilemma facing balding men across America.
