Will I Have A Nice Dome?

I’m sitting here watching the USA Men’s Beach Volleyball team of Dalhausser & Rogers at the Beijing Olympics. They’re playing against Argentina and are very close to a win. Visualize my surprise when the two TV commentators start talking about Dalhausser’s “dome” and then flash a picture of him as a teenager with a full head of hair. It turns out that “the thin beast” as he’s called, started significantly losing his hair just as he entered his twenties. According to the commentators, he was very angry and blamed his parents wondering what they had done to him to cause his hair loss. Dalhausser chose to shave his head much to the shock of his parents and friends. His big concern: Will I have a nice dome or will my head be misshapen underneath the hair.

Well, Dalhausser was blessed with a great dome. But not every young man suffering from early onset male pattern baldness can boast a perfectly shaped head! More often than not, they are like “Eric” from Episode One of Hair Loss Confidential who believed that a baseball cap could be worn with everything from his bathing suit to his tuxedo.

Do you know a man who is angry and frustrated because he’s balding way too young? If so, nominate him and let Hair Loss Confidential give him back his confidence and self-esteem.

And by-the-way, if you haven’t had an opportunity to drool over Phil Dalhausser this week in Beijing, here’s a video from 2007 as he prepared for the Olympics.

I did hear that commentators when they were talking about this . . . it was funny because he turned out to have a dome, but it does stop and make you think about the fact that it's another possible fear that blading men, women and children might have.
