Let's talk about hair loss

[john gordon]

Sore subject but it's happening to me big time. I've tried rogaine for 6 months but no luck. I guess I'll shave it off or possibly get a hair transplant while I'm in Thailand. I hear it's fairly cheap over there with some great doctors..sucks getting old.

Just deal with it with dignity, women don't mind nearly as much as guys think they do.

Just don't do the comb-over

^^^ Says the man from the land of high cheekbones. It really does depend on your jawline whether you can pull off bald.

On the other hand, after 40 you should be relying on other things besides your looks for your sense of well being because it's not going to get better.
It's not like you're 16 in the awkward phase hoping that 25 will grow on you.

Are we?!
I wasn't aware of that.

Anyways, I too got the corners and the spot already and have not felt any change in the looks I do/don't get.

But then I've always been more the nerd than the jock...

I've had a fairly high forehead all my life and some other kids used to take the piss out of me at school for it. But now I'm 47 and my hairline hasn't receded one millimeter but plenty other people my age are bald as fuck so I'm laughing. It's pretty grey though but I like that. I currently haven't shaved for a month too which is a record for me so I got some hairy beard nonsense going on, it's itchy as fuck and I keep getting food and beer in it but I look like I never looked before so I'm sticking with it for now. Sometimes i shave my knackers for the boiled egg effect and at my age my nostril and ear hair need keeping under control too

Wait, I thought all male electronic musicians were bald?

Bad genes (baldness comes from your mom's side) means I started losing my hair in my early 20's. I just said f it and shave it with the clippers once week since then. Kind of nice actually, cool in the summer, no more money on barbers, a shower means just a bar of soap, etc.

Stuff like this you have no control over, so no sense trying to waste a lot of money fighting it IMO.

My hairline has been slowly receding since I was in high school and I'm 38 now. I've gone in and out of periods shaving and growing it out mad scientist style. I was shaving my head when I still had a full head at certain points in my life. It's finally gotten to the point that I've been close shaving with a razor. I have a head that works for it though. I'm also growing a Billy Gibbons proportion beard at the moment, so that helps. (Steel-toed boots, tattoos, and a black pickup truck don't hurt either. )

People give way too much of a shit about it anyway, and by "people" I mean men. Plenty of women don't care and lots actually prefer the shaved look.

45, started thinning in my 20's. I just shave my shit weekly, all good. I treat people with integrity, respect, kindness, and all that stuff....Women pick up on that. If I were not happily married, I would not have the slightest problem meeting someone.

I see certain twerps have twerped.

I'm balding big time, I shave my head. It's fucking awful, but that is how it is.

People that don't have this issue should shut the fuck up because you didn't get help from god. You simply got lucky.

But then again, being a dick is what people that got lucky do best

Right, because that's obviously what happened here

Did you even read the other posts before you lashed out?! Everyone posting so far has mentioned that he is affected. But I guess that victim corner you see yourself in is damn comfortable, isn't it?!

64. Started thinning early but still have (some) hair...I call it the Paul Newman look You'll just have to trust me but as you age your hairline will be the least of your worries.

I shave my head with one of those headblade things. I drive it across my head in the shower making brooom brooom car noises.
I think I've actually become more sexy since going bald, I know that seems impossible but the facts can't be denied. Perhaps it because my head now subliminally resembles a giant penis, with a face on it.

In other news, if you live in a cold place I suggest buying a wig instead of a hat. I have one called "boyband" which is a bleached feather cut, and I have another which looks like Richard D. James. For scaring children during the colder months.

[beats me]

I go to the barber once a month and tell them to give me the Jesse Pinkman.

I tried that thing for a while but I found using a regular razor was easier. Although I did do the shower thing with some success, so I might try again. You have to do it every day to do it that way though and I'm often rushing when showering.

Not surprising. I definitely get more looks now that I look like a white Isaac Hayes.
