This last weekend I decided to shave my head to see if I could live with being bald. It's definitely a lot colder without hair, but I'm pretty sure I won't have to wear a toupee...I'll just go with the close shave look. My daughter says I look like a cancer patient. :P

Lots of guys I work with go even further and go for the slick bald Kojak look of a polished cranium. I'm over 50 and have a bald spot on the back of my head about 3" in diameter. However, from the front I can't see it and to me my hair looks the same as when I was in my 30's. Out of sight...out of mind.

I'll keep it long until it disappears. Grow it while I still got it. :P

You're not bald yet, why would you voluntarily make yourself bald?

There are things that can stop or slow down hair loss - maybe you should just try one of them.

I think it looks REALLY good - with the facial hair/buzz cut you look very nice. With those blue eyes who's looking at your head any way...

you're good :thumbs:

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!!

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

Good luck out there!

Hi ,

I had very fine hair when I was growing up,

and started to go bald, when I was mid 30's.

My Mum (God Rest her soul) use to say two things,

to me regarding my retreating hairline... :secret:

# 1 " You know it's hard to Grow Grass On Cement" :oops:

# 2 " You Just Grew Too Tall For Your Hair" :oops:

I have been shaving my head since I turned 35.

I am now 45 and I prefer the shaved look myself, :dancing:

And my Wife Loves it too :luv:

So In My Opinion.. Baldness can be a good thing.

Always have a positive spin on everything in your lives.

That way you will always wake with a smile :thumbs:

Cheers

Paul

Looks good - much better than trying to fight it :) Toupees and comb-overs are SO much worse than accepting it gracefully!

Rubbish. Bald is bald. Nothing good or graceful about it.

I'm pretty sure there's a pill you can take once a day to keep your existing

hair and there's also some kind of shampoo or foam to regrow hair.

Hair transplantation is also an option if you do eventually lose it all.
