GroWell Cap Review: I Have Hair for the First Time in 15 Years

Key points

• From reviewing archival footage—scrolling back 63,979 or so photos on my iPhone camera roll—it appears I shaved my head for the first time sometime in the spring of 2011. I was 30 years old, and it seemed like a logical choice given the slow thinning of my always-thin hair and the pleasantly round shape of my head, the one physical trait I consistently receive compliments on from complete strangers.
• It didn't feel like an especially momentous decision at the time.
• Looking back after 15 years of smooth-headedness, though, shaving my hair off that first time feels like a significant milestone that I galloped past without taking appropriate notice.
• When you don't have hair on your head, everyone assumes you're bald.
• I've always been quick to correct them that I, in fact, have hair—and it's not even receding.
