Eagle, dang straight genetics determine many things for us, this included! My Daddy was celtic and Mama was Cherokee. (neither of them 100%, but what I named was what they were mostly recognized & known for.) I got Daddy's lighter skin tone, even being lighter than Mama the day she died, and I got Daddy thin hair...thin two ways....lol....each strand is baby-fine and not a noticeably thick head of it.
So! at almost 60 I wear hair well-above the shoulders, and not by choice. No, not bummed about it. We all have our gifts and we all have our "lack." Life's good and I have more than my share of blessings and gifts.
Problem: Genetics. If you see my dad's hair, you'd know what I mean. My hair began falling out. I started looking hideous. I was crushed. I was finally left with an option: Keep looking like a total moron, or cut it all off. I chose the second option, especially since I didn't have money to keep buying shampoo and conditioner.
Low and behold... my mystical experiences seem to have remained steadily increasing. I can't say I'm having more now as a bald guy, but I can say that the experiences have not decreased at all between having lots of hair and having none.
Also Buddhists typically have no hair, and I know they have tons of experiences.
Not ditching the article, though, just conveying my experiences.
