If you're a man over 50, here's a photo you'll recognise. The back of your own head, taken by someone else, showing more scalp than you remembered. That photo is what did it for me. I'm 54. For about two years I'd been quietly managing it. Combing it a certain way. Picking where I stood in group shots. Keeping a cap in the car. I told myself nobody noticed. Then my daughter sent me a picture from a family lunch, taken from behind, and I could see straight through to my scalp. I didn't say anything, but it stayed with me for weeks. So I looked into the proper fixes. A transplant was four to eight thousand pounds and months of healing, for something I wasn't even certain about. The tablets and sprays felt like a routine for the rest of my life. I didn't want a project. I just wanted to look like myself in a photo. What actually solved it was almost embarrassingly simple. Cosmetic hair fibres. You shake them over the thin areas, pat them in for about thirty seconds, and they grip onto the hair you've still got. The gaps just disappear. In photos you honestly cannot tell. They hold through sweat and rain, and wash straight out with shampoo at night. Nothing permanent. Nothing medical. I'm not trying to look 25 again. I just wanted to stop dreading the camera. The first morning I used these, that feeling was gone. If that photo looked a bit too familiar, give this thirty seconds and a mirror. Match it to your colour and see for yourself.
