Losing your hair?

[Conrad]

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but doesn't get you anywhere.

What can you do about it? Toupee? Plugs? Those are worse than going bald IMO.....the best is if you have the head for it "Fire it before it quits on you"

I totally get what you're saying, wish I could be so philosophical about it. As quite a slim bloke I know the Stevey Bull look isn't for me - called the 'Bully Cut' round by me. Basically shaved off.

Also for some smug reason I find comfort in seeing people with less hair than me. Old friends, Wayne Rooney, Prince Williams etc etc

But if they can't afford to fix it then I'm fucked!

Exactly, if you are too slim it just doesn't look right. It can look pretty good on well set men. Michael Stipe is the only skinny guy I can think of that carries off the bald look well. You look at people like Rooney and Prince William and they are relatively muscular, strong looking men. Imagine a bald Jarvis Cocker and that's how I would look. Damn weird!

I'm 29 and no receding hairline or thinning hair, but have kept a shaven military look for the past 2 years or so. I guess just less maintenance as 1 of the reasons, plus I did have shoulder length hair for like 13 or 14 years so felt like a change.

I mean Beckham 1 of your cultural icons looked decent rocking a shaved head. Nothing wrong with it, just embrace it!



But if you're head is starting to look like Prince William might as well just cut off everything.


What's wrong with a shave look? Well if you don't want that then I guess pony up the 5k to 10k having hair transplants.

I'm thinning now at 38 . Started a couple of years ago.

yes we'd all love a full head of hair but 1 in 3 of us will be bald in 30s and 1 in 2 from 50 +. Fact.

Did used to bother me a lot but to be honest after starting blood pressure medication end of last year, worrying about lumps here and there and panicking at every chest pain that might just be NOT indigestion I think only having a slap head to worry about would be a fucking luxury ! Guy I work with lost his leg last year due to a DVT and has only just returned after 8 months off work - now thats a worry.

I would never try to do anything about it with all this shit that the celebs get done.

I still have other things to be thankful for eg massive cock, and as long as everything crucial in my body works then I will take that thanks.

Mate who lost his hair in 20s said best thing to happen is for it to just go completely - then you don't have any more hair loss to worry about. Kind of made sense really !

Does put it into perspective doesnt it. I'd like to see if anything over the counter works so I could have long...ish hair just once more, I think I'd be satisfied with that and then let nature take its course once more. Im not a cricketer so I wouldnt be going to advanced hair studios or owt.

Good post.

They say you spend your 30's and beyond paying for what you did to your body in your 20's and in that light hair shouldn't be such a big concern. I would still look a right old odd ball if I was bald, but of course there are far bigger things to worry about.

Actually, it always makes me laugh when I see a very obvious combover. Nothing more funny than a man that just could not let it go.
