That's totally possible. I was amazed when my mom was in her upper 80s all the places she no longer had hair.Maybe we go out the way we came in...relatively hairless.

I've never seen anyone go completely bald. Always a few tufts or wisps left.Balding is natures way of transferring head hair to bushy eyebrows, long nose hair & keeping the inside of ears warm. Once completely bald all those areas are full of that transferred hair.
The time spent trying to hide balding by doing that dumb flip over would be better spent keeping the newly flourishing hair areas trimmed & less visible.
Now, she was not the generation that shaved everything for greater pleasure.At the risk of sounding like a weirdo, I know what you're talking about.
No, I get it...neither was my mom...whom I bathed twice a week for a few years.Now, she was not the generation that shaved everything for greater pleasure.
So you took physical care of your mom. That's admirable. I know women who have done that, but few men.No, I get it...neither was my mom...whom I bathed twice a week for a few years.
Well we (4 men) only have 1 sister. We all took turns caring for mom when she had symptoms of dementia (except our brother who lives far away). The symptoms started a few months after our dad died. Or maybe we just started noticing them then, like maybe they were more apparent with dad not there to sort of hide them, or cover for her.So you took physical care of your mom. That's admirable.

Even so, most guys I know don't do it. They might for their spouses, but not their mothers, at least not when it came to bathing her and such. Good on you.Well we (4 men) only have 1 sister.

My husband is RCAF so has the short military cut (and he is balding). I bought him what he fondly refers to as his “old man hat”... a brown felt knit hat with a pompom on top. It’s his favourite toque.In the winter I always want to knit hats for bald guys. Brrr.
