6.08 /// Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Send us a text

The monitor blinks, the gratitude flows, and then I says the quiet worry out loud: my hair is thinning, and it’s starting to change how I see myself. What follows is a candid, funny, and surprisingly tender journey through style, identity, and the choices we make when time and genetics nudge us into a new chapter.

I revisit the wild history: bleached school days inspired by footballers, loud reds and deepest blacks, split colours and blue streaks, even a beard to match. There’s the legendary Download Festival handprint cut that turned heads and sparked countless photos, and the Royal British Legion poppy design that raised awareness for veterans while landing me in the paper. Hair wasn’t just decoration—it was story, confidence and a way to do some good. That’s why the recent shift feels so personal: less about vanity, more about the loss of a favourite way to express who I am.

I open up about family genetics and the odds, small efforts with natural oils and scalp care, and the realistic path ahead. I also weigh the tough questions with humour: shave early and own the look, try to preserve what’s left, or embrace wigs as a new palette for creativity. 

I talk practicality, and explores the social side—how stigma is fading and why transparency can feel freeing. Most of all, I invites you into the decision-making: where confidence comes from, how to keep your style playful, and what it means to stay yourself even as the mirror changes.
