Baldness

All the men in my family have a history of growing old with thick heads of hair.

Not me.

I'm going through the year book tonight and I see a picture of myself. I think, "gosh. My hair was a lot longer (even though it was in a buzz) than it is now. I go in the mirror and look and sure enough, I'm losing my hair."

I'm 18 years old.

I'm losing my fucking hair.

Any other men balding out there?

Yup. Only look at the men on your Mom's side of the family. I'm pretty sure baldness comes from the X chromosome.

I was in my late twenties when I started losing my hair..or rather, when I would admit that I was becoming folically challenged.

It's not a big deal for me now (I'm 33), but the pattern of my baldness is troubling. I've always had a strong widow's peak, and the receding corners are starting to meet at the top of my head. Soon I'll have an island of hair at the top of my forehead. I keep it pretty short 'cause my wife won't let me shave it (yet).

Please guys, do not let baldness scare you. Actually, I find men very attractive that are completely bald, and lots of other women do to. I think this goes back to my younger days when I saw the bestlooking man in a movie. I remember his face so well, and I think I was around 12 when I first saw the movie. Don't worry about it guys.

This is the man and look,he has no hair. This is a gorgeous man and he is a classic. This picture is not of good quality, but he still looks good here. <img src="http://www.hollywood-north.net/yulbrenner.jpg" alt="" />

My boyfriend is starting to bald, and he'll be twenty-two in a week or so. Guess what? I don't care. He's still sexy as hell to me. My Daddy was balding by the time he was seventeen, he's the best man I've ever met.

Don't worry about it. It isn't about what you look like outside, it's all about who you are inside.

Captain Picard was a cueball by 19, it could be worse. I'll be bald eventually, too. I'm just going to pretend I'm Vic Mackey.

My friend's bald and twenty eight and he's going out with a 17-year old.

Ok...maybe that was a bad example....

I wouldn't mind it so much, but I'm afraid when all is said and done I'm going to look a lot like Curly.

Ah, don't let it get to you; I had a pretty strong indication I'd be running out of uses for a comb eventually - my maternal grandfather and uncle are both bald. I'm 29, but my hair didn't start obviously receding (to others, at least)until I was about 26-27, so I was lucky in that, at least. But right now my forehead is at about 5-1/2.

Just cut it short; first off, it looks MUCH better, it somewhat hides the fact that it's going (people just think your hair looks thin because it's short), and I think more people respect a guy who just deals - fuck Rogaine, fuck wigs, fuck all those self-indulgent boomer-driven cures. I'd rather spend my money on worthwhile stuff than on fake hair.

Not a good time to mention that my grandfather on my mother's side still has a full set of hair in his late 70's is it?

Wouldn't a runty version of Ed Norton in American History X be...Ed Norton?

Are you receeding or thinning? Receeding can look fine and so can a friar tuck bald spot, but if you're thinning, shave it all off.

All through high school I had long, headbanger hair. I dyed it red, black, shaved one side, shaved the other. I loved my hair.
Then nature kicked in.
I started losing my hair during my senior year. I'm like 18 and I'm getting a receding hairline. Fuck this, I thought. Shaved my head. No in between. Went from looking like Axl Rose to Moby in one day.
You know the thing that burns my ass? All through my teen years, I had acne. The day, the fucking DAY my face cleared up my hair started to fall out. What the hell is that shit? I had a positive self image of myself in high school for about thirty seconds, just long enough to run my fingers through my hair and come up with 10-12 strands.
My advice to ANY man losing his hair-SHAVE IT. Fuck that combover shit-it makes you look pathetic and desperate, not to mention completely clueless. Don't cut it really short, bleach it and comb it forward, either. We've all caught on.
SHAVE IT. Take that crucial step. Besides, a lot of girls dig the bald look. Grow a little chivita, get you some hoop earrings-trust me.

After all has been said, Chavez is still a major stud.
