Exposed heads

Hair provides a natural protection of the head. This means when you bang your head against a low garage door or something hard, you get an almighty whack, a shocking pain that really takes your breath away.

One can argue that any bang to the head is unpleasant, but consider it without a layer of protection, the hair.

It's probably like hurting your hands without gloves on. 

So once again being bald, has a little downside that is not known. Alopecia leaves your scalp exposed and as such an impact to the head can be more serious and possibly providin more damage.

The workaround is clearly simple.  When in the garden or out and about, wear a sturdy hat. This applies equally to balding men as well as us alopecians. 

Protect your head always. It's kind of useful to have one. 

Happy hat wearing.
