That’s because, throughout most of my 20s (seven years, to be precise), I’ve been developing chronic lower back pain that’s gone from sporadic and mild to constant and severe.  I say that

If you’re looking for a clipper cut that’s cooler than the Fonz in a fridge, opting for a slick fade is the way to go. Fades come in an ever-expanding range of styles which means you can chop and change your style with a subtle tweak or two. But as epic as fade haircuts are,

If you’re a guy who’s receding or going a little thin on top, I feel your pain. I never thought I’d be wrangling with male pattern balding (not to this extent) in my mid to late 30s, but here I am. For a few years now, I’ve tried a mix of hairstyles for balding men—and

“Excuse me, Miss!” I gaze toward the voice bringing me to a stop as I enter the hospital. “Do you have a visitor’s pass?” This is not the first time I’ve been asked this question. “I am a patient,” I say. Two raised eyebrows emitting a look of shock respond, “You are the patient?” and
