Thread: Going bald...

I once was told that going bald was worse than being bald.

Now that I've pretty much completed that journey, I'd have to agree.


The early stages are the worst--trying to convince yourself it's not really thinning out....


Once the hair's all gone, you just accept it as your fate.

When you're young stuff like that seems like it is the end of the world. The older you get the less it matters IME. Then again .... I ain't bald... but there is a less than there used to be.

I've never understood the stigma with loosing hair.

I have read that balding is linked to higher testosterone levels in the body. You will also notice that women generally don't go bald.

This being the case, it could be said that going bald should be a sign that you are biologically more of a man compared to those growing old with a full head of hair.

I'm in the "going" bald camp right now, but I started to just cut it short with clippers (1 guard) right away. It's as if I'm already bald and accepting of that.

My dear Seraphim — and fellow convertible:

Remember this: You no longer need a hair dryer. I know I don't. All I do is sneeze on my head and it dries.

My dad in his high school senior class picture was already thinning up front and now that iam 25 i dont have any hair until about halfway back. my mom for my 17 birthday gave me some rogaine. but im not vain i dont care about my head above my shave line. My freind just spent 2500 to get implants and now his hair looks worse than when he was balding. thats life.

Unless you're a victim of some cranial disfigurement, shave it. It gives you a bunch of new territory to obsess over.

I started thinning at about 24 and was bald on top completely by 34. I never concerned me in the least, but of course I think grey hair is good.
