Balding

Totally read the thread title as

 

[Spider-Fan83]

tho, my hair line is receding rather slowly, I have noticed into my late 20's early 30's, it receding and thining a bit (but, I had an usually low hair line when younger so, its not really noticeable to others... had that whole Dracula widows peak thing going on)

I wouldn't mind the thinning so much if it was going evenly... but, its thinner on the left side, an it goes up a little high on that side too, so, I'm more subconscious about that, then if it was all thin and higher on both sides (I was even growing my hair out for a while and kinda had a comb over going on to hide it, but, recently buzzed it short again for the summer)

but, I guess I can't complain, I got a friend whose only 25, already looks like Murr from impractical jokers

I decided to go ahead and shave it just to see what it looks like... It's okay, I don't think I have the best head shape for it, but it's decent.

But the actual feeling of just shaving it completely off was pretty liberating. It actually feels good haha!

I really don't know how others will react once they see it. I wear a hat most of the time anyways.

One great thing, like someone else mentioned before, you don't have to worry about covering the thin spot on your head anymore. It was something I was always conscious of, so that's bye-bye.

Feel like I could cosplay Lex Luthor now... or a bald Black Adam, haha.

Some people look good bald, some people don't, I don't think I would be one of them. My hair started thinning and I spent 3k to get treatment at a hair facility, it is slightly better, but I would totally get hair plugs if I had to which is a high possibility.

Just wait until you feel the autumn breeze on your head. That alone is a reason to embrace baldness.

Also, I get a lot of "you look like Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger". I can live with that.

Heck yeah man! Jeff Bridges ftw! t:

So, I posted it on facebook, just to see the reactions it would get. Seems pretty mixed. Some "I can dig it" and others "What, why??" Haha. Ah well.

The interesting thing abut hair transplants is that, there are procedures now where they don't take strips from the back of the head anymore, leaving scars (Jeremy Renner, for example). But there's a machine that it'll pluck hair fociles throughout the scalp within a wide blast radius.

The problem with hair transplants is that it's expensive and sometimes, you body may reject the new hair, leaving you with 5000 grand wasted. But even if it does work, if you're bald like a Stanley Tucci it's not worth it. If your hair is just thinning like McConaughtey's back in the 90's, then it's ideal ].

The shock value of shaving is a nice experience too. Before I shaved, I had really long hair (between the shoulder blades length) and I always said that if I ever got it cut, it was all going to go. The looks on my friends and family when they learned I was serious were priceless.

I started thinning at around 15, yea, really. I'm 31 now and I'm pretty much bald on top now with a small, uneven patch in the front. I mean, it sucks and everything but, it is what it is. I shave my head every day now too. If you're going bald, that's your best bet when it comes to holding on to your dignity. I've gone a while without cutting my hair and just letting it grow and grow as well and it just looks utterly ridiculous. Bald is good, builds character.

If you've got a spare 10K lying around you can gets some hair implants. The techniques they are using these day are producing much better results than 20-30 years ago.

I've got good genes. I'll sell them to you for a good price.

That is probably one of the reasons you've noticed it going so quickly then. Wearing hats nearly all the time damages your hair, it's one of the reasons women don't do it.

Comedian Doc Brown did some funny jokes about his receding hairline.

I used to have a forehead and now I have a five head.

My hairline is going through a bitter divorce with my face.

My brother is pretty much the same. He started around 15-16, his hairline was going and it was nearly gone by the time he hit 18. It sucks. But he's reached the point where he doesn't gripe about it anymore.


As far as wearing hats causing baldness... Everything I read said that was a myth, but I don't know.

Nah, I don't really have much cash laying around. That'd be nice tho!

 

[gwynplaine]

Massage your scalp about 200 times, once a day everyday. I've been doing it for a while (my father recommended it to me) and I saw improvement. Also I don't think wearing hats is good for the hair but I might be wrong.

 

[Greens]

No, wearing a hat does not cause you to lose more hair than usual.

 

[Mandon Knight]

My hair began to fall out heavily at 21 and so shaved it and now at 40, wear it v short on top with beard.

 

[Lasirius]

I don't think I'd look okay if I shave it off. This is usually how I feel when they cut my hair shorter than expected:

 

[Maximus One]

I actually kinda don't like how I look bald. I have a slick bald head, seriously if somebody tells me it's as smooth as a baby's bottom I feel insulted, I put too much work into this thing to have it compared to a baby's ass. And, I have a big, long beard so, I don't look really look all that great most of the time. The thing is, I don't care. Having a shaved head just feels good and not shaving my beard for months and months at a time just feels too good as well. I do miss the feeling of having hair some times, that's why every now and then I stop shaving it and let it grow out a bit but I always end up buzzing and then shaving it all again, it just looks too ridiculous. Same with the beard, when I get tired of it being so long and bushy I just shave it and go with a more traditionally *****ey chin wraparound.

 

[Maximus One]

Also, I have a really big head, like, for real. So, I think I look silly with a shaved head, I just don't care cuz it looks clean and feels good.

 

[PalmerTheThing]

I'm 20 and I can notice my hairline going back, and even parts of the front/top of my head are not full as it once was back in college.

I'm just waiting for the day I can shave my head and look like Jason Statham

 

[Enriquespy]

I´ve always had a big forehead. Turns out I´m just stereotipically smart.

Hi everyone,

when lockdown ends I’m thinking of just going full Lex Luther bald. Has anyone done it before and do you have any tips for what to ask the hairdresser and if you, like, moisturise your scalp or something?

 

[Pennywise]

Started using Rogaine a few months ago, my family noticed my hair thinning about about a year ago, but I didn’t for some reason.

 

[Silvermoth]

Did it work? I’ve heard it’s very expensive
