A Consultant’s Dilemma

As a consultant, it is important to have a presentable look. I said so because you get to meet with high profile clients such as the CEO, President of the Company or  the Top Level Management for that matter. Having said this, one condition bothers me a lot – I am slowly losing my hair! I wonder why the more I am cautious, the more I get affected. Day by day, my hairline is rising. I know it is not important but, we can never erase that fact that we, as human, are very superficial.

Going bald was never my choice and most people don’t choose to be bald either. If you are thinking of skinhead, it is totally another topic. No matter how much they say that baldness could look cute on a guy, I oppose that notion entirely. I wanted to have a presentable-looking hair! I know that it’s just me but who cares right?

Ahem, wrong.

A sudden idea popped inside my head. What about hair transplant? But I with my recent status, I don’t think I have ample time for it. For those who are still on the process of growing up, looking good is a must. Unless of course, you have the I-hate-the-world feeling. And so to cover my bald spot, I wanted to cut my hair into a semi bald look so that no one would notice. However, my hidden scar would be visible then!

So I have a great dilemma at hand. Cut my hair or rather shave my hair to the point of baldness and reveal my scar. Or I could grow it long and reveal that impending bald spot on my head. It is a no win situation for me then. I was utterly devastated. Which is the lesser evil, I wonder?

I researched.

I found out statistically that men who have scars tend to be more attractive since they become mysterious and have an interesting story to tell. I am thinking of playing it cool and tell a heroic story on how i rescued a damsel in distress. Or maybe becoming a war hero. Fighting   for the country and looking out for my brothers.

It is not my choice but what will I do. I think it runs in our family. I will just use my consultation experience to look for a better solution.
