Journey of Baldness, Stage Five: Grief

A man in the clutches of Stage Five feels he is in hell. This is the dark night of the bald guy. He becomes lethargic and loses his zest for life. He takes no pleasure in food or television. Some turn to booze. Many spend an unhealthy amount of time sleeping. His concern for general hygiene may lapse as he cannot bear looking at himself in a mirror.

Our work at The Bald Guy Project has shown that Stage Five bald guys respond positively to both images of role models who are also bald or balding, and what we've come to call Bald Affirmations. We call these role models "Heroes of Baldness", and they’ve helped us through some pretty rough times. Taken alone, or with the Affirmations pictured below, they're enough to bring the suffering Bald Guy into Stage Six, the Promised Land.
