Receding hair or going bald. Either way it sucks

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

I'm talking everywhere

Lol! I didn't know hair could grow in some of the places it does these days. It's your body letting you know the end times are near.

Same here, and it saves you the haircut money. I used to get called Conan the Barbarian when I had long hair, now it's usually Stone Cold Steve Austin...which is better than Poindexter.

It’s much cheaper as well. I have barbers clippers and use the .25” clip. About 10 mins and done.

That's the way to do it. I paid a barber the first couple of times I went shaved and then wondered WTH I was doing paying for that. What I have left grows out pretty quick so I have to stay on it or I turn into Jack Nicholson.

Hey, at least you made it to your 40s. I started losing my hair when I was about 25. Unfortunately, I don't think any of those products or home remedies do a damn thing. Like others have said, just shave off what's left. You'll freak yourself out the first few times you look in the mirror but you get used to it. Plus side is you don't spend a dime on haircuts and shampoo / conditioner lasts a lot longer. If you do go the shaved head route, beware of the sun. Your bald head will burn easily.

I don't know, my head never burned. One piece of advice though; If you're going to do it, wait until your tan has faded, or you'll look ridiculous with a tan face and white scalp

I would say start wearing hats ..it will give you a style

I hear the Hair Club does good work. I haven't tried them myself, but their before and after pictures look impressive. Probably cost a pretty penny though.

Have you noticed a lot of male Hollywood stars keep full heads of hair no matter how old they get? Most of them don't have super DNA. Most of them use some kind of hair replacement like the Hair Club.

I've looked like Kojak for the last 20 years. I had thin receding hair in my early twenties. I took it off and haven't ever missed a strand of it.

The thought of going bald crossed my mind when I was 21 or 22 years old. Just popped into my mind out of nowhere. My father was not going bald. What I remembered of my grandfathers and their hair did not give me any reason to think I would eventually go bald.

It kept nagging me to the point where I asked myself if I had a phobia about baldness. I was not having any of that nonsense. So! I started shaving my head a couple times a week. Did it for five or six years straight before I finally stopped. Going bald has not bothered me for decades since.

When I was younger I had such a full head of hair my nickname was "Bush". I had friends who didn't know my real name as they always knew me by my nickname. I used to joke I would go bald by the time I was 25. I was in my late 30's when I really started losing my hair. I still combed my hair the same way I had done for years. One day, someone told me I wasn't fooling anybody by the way I was combing my hair to "cover" my impending baldness. I wasn't doing that at all. It was just the way I had always combed my hair.

I decided that day to buy some clippers and give myself a buzz-cut. When I went to work the next day and walked into the conference room you could hear everybody's jaw drop when they saw me. It took some time for me to get used to it, but I did like it.

My wife doesn't like me to have a buzz cut, even though she meet and fell in love with me with my hair that way. I grow my side hair out as she loves the curls I have. If I don't comb the hair it gets all crazy and it looks like Albert Einstein's bad hair day. It's why I'm usually wearing a hat of some sort whenever I leave the house.

My grandfather and uncle from my mom's side were completly bald at a young age, so I knew it was probably in my cards to lose my hair. I'm in my late 50's and I still have some hair on top, but not enough to ever fool anyone that I'm not bald on top.

Easy enough to go the full Brian Ulracher or Deion method. Just need some cashies!

I believe baldness is generally hereditary from your mother's side, starting with her father and skipping every generation...but I could be full of crap.

I chuckle when I see the "comb-over" -- Just celebrate your baldness with big sideburns and the like.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

When you start noticing it at an abnormal age you should have your doctor check your thyroid levels. I didn't notice mine until it looked like a ink blot test on top of my head. Turned out I have something called hashimoto's disease.

Hair is for the ladies to worry about. Lord knows my wife spent enough money and time on hers, there was none left over for me. My hair or the lack of it just didn't seem to be a thing.

I cut all of my remaining wisps off and went a onesy on my Norelco trimmer with the cool little vacuum that I can't find a new one of because I love it and they stop making things I like. All of them, not just Norelco. Every time I stand in front of the mirror shearing my head, I think of the money and time I am saving spending time with a barber that would not enjoy the jokes I am telling myself, whilst shearing, near as much as me. Granted, I don't get all of them any better than he would but they are precious to me for they are mine, all mine.

However, those foxes on the TV commercials with those guys that a full head of hair is wasted on make me want to grow my hair back out. But I think I might get arrested because they wouldn't get me just having fun and a few laughs. And I do not want a con in Cellblock 6 named Bruno cutting my hair and asking me what I am doing after the movie.

Have you tried eBay? They often have items that are no longer being manufactured.

I'm 52 and have hair past the middle of my back.
People say I look like the twin brother of Iron Maiden bass player Steve Harris.
I think being one third Cherokee helps. Native Americans dont go bald at any age.

And fart a lot

Did you at least let Bruno watch the movie with ya?

This is true and also really interesting.
