Depends on whether or not you have a funny-looking head that wouldn't go so well with baldness.

if you have a bald patch would you just keep the rest of the hair (e.g. if you have a funny shaped head and want to hide it.. or would you shave it all and be proud?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 May 2005 12:52 (twenty-one years ago)

also, do women keep their hair for longer than men? i am always surprised to see a lady with a bald patch.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 23 May 2005 12:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I generally recommend just shaving the entire head as soon as this starts happening. Also: not flipping out over it.

erm, what's there to flip out?

I think bald men are hot hot HOT. Just dress well and if you're very thin, put on some weight/muscle. If you can do that, I promise you, you may get even more tail than you might've gotten when you had hair.

To shave or not to shave: It depends. Just keep it short as possible.

A massive, unambiguous DUD if it occurs before 30, otherwise kind of inevitable and therefore neither C nor D.

I am, needless to say, under 30 and enduring the double whammy of receding and balding hair. God I'm going to miss my fringe...

― metalmickey, Monday, 23 May 2005 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

What's a good hairstyle for a receder? I've got one of those Count Dracula style receding hairlines and I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do with. It's not really drastic enough to merit shaving my head (I wouldn't want to anyway), but I've been in fits lately because my usual long and shaggy normal cut isn't working anymore. Perhaps I should just slick it back and embrace the receder? I want to do something other than "just keep it short".

SOTD OTM
Testosterone's making that hair disappear, so it's time to jump on the macho train. Should be easy with all that manliness pumping through your veins. Long hair's for girls anyway.
GRRRRRRRR Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (see my muscles?)

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I second the suggestion of keeping one's hair short, once it thins. I further agree that attractiveness is a far larger issue than how one's hair looks. Looking fit, happy, confident and competant is a much better strategy than having lovely hair.

― Aimless (Aimless), Monday, 23 May 2005 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Hstencil would disagree

(I kid!)

i'm amused that i was supposed to be bald by now while high school friends who claimed they'd never go bald are well... pretty damned bald.

that said, yeah, i'm gonna go bald.

totally unscientific things i've tried to do to avoid baldness:

-no unnecessary hair care products. no dying. no perms. no bullshit. seriously, burning your scalp seems like a fast track to hair loss.
-keeping my hair pretty short. seems like less hair weight = less tug on your folicles. also, like cutting your chest hair... shave it down and it grows in thicker... hehe... or at least it seems thicker.

i know a couple dudes that shave their heads down to nothing. the mr. clean look.

i've thoought about keeping a ridiculous comb over just for self-deprecating laff tracks...

my heart goes out to the fake hair users tho. lee press on hair vs. lego snap on black elvis doos?

i can't wait to teach shop class.

This one kid in my film classes by in school shaved a bald spot on his head and fashioned himself a comb-over. Oddly, this was the slightest of his eccentricities.

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Monday, 23 May 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I definitely don't let my hair grow out as much as I used to, but otherwise I'm not sweating balding at all. My lovelife's been a lot better since it started thinning, though that probably is coincidental. The fact is it really doesn't matter.

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 23 May 2005 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll probably be going bald. wouldn't be quite so dud if i didn't also have a skin condition on my scalp.

five months pass...

this is terrible. i have become obsessed with my hairloss, and don't know how to let go.

don't be a mary. crop it short.

Don't fight your hair loss. All those things are dud dud dud, dude. And receding hairline is sexy, even in scrawny unfit eighteen-year-olds.
Hair loss is NO REASON to punish yourself with an exercise regime. You should CELEBRATE hair loss, with fine wine and victuals.

i'm 24 and i've got a fucking combover :( and i can't even grow a beard

How tall are you?

― CaptainLorax, Saturday, 5 June 2010 01:14 (sixteen years ago)

6'2 maybe and skinnier than most. that makes it worse i guess?

― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 5 June 2010 01:35 (sixteen years ago)

I was gonna say that height is a trade-off for hair loss

― CaptainLorax, Saturday, 5 June 2010 01:38 (sixteen years ago)

really? having a hard time thinking about good looking baldish tall guys atm

― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 5 June 2010 01:53 (sixteen years ago)

At a shade under 6 feet, I don't fully qualify I suppose. But on "baldish & good looking" I can still manage to deliver.

― Aimless, Saturday, 5 June 2010 02:02 (sixteen years ago)

I have a white guy friend who purposely shaves his head and it looks slick on him. I can't picture him without glasses or a bald head. I suppose he is a bit taller and a bit thinner than average too

― CaptainLorax, Saturday, 5 June 2010 08:53 (sixteen years ago)

it's ok to be bald

please, please, don't do a combover, the hair has to go. Had a friend who we had to actually get drunk and get my other friend to shave his hair in solidarity with him as the same time in order to stop him looking ridiculous after about five years of having long hair combed-forward over a receded hairline. He made his peace with it within a year.

The emphasis put on hair loss it by the press is ridiculous...If you happen to combine it with being fat and middle aged, you're practically on the way to going postal as you're clearly such a loser.....

from the Times today:

There is speculation that Derrick Bird, left high and dry in middle-age, fat, balding, divorced and beset by financial worries, snapped after an argument with his twin brother over who inherits the bulk of their elderly mother’s will.

Shave it, dude. Don't fight your fate.

warning: if you have a weird, squarish head and your eyes are set a little too-close together you way want to go with just a short, neat crop first. not everybody can rock the clean-shaven look.

Too scared to go fully shaven, reckon I would end up looking like

yeah i'll go fully shaven and look like the waiter from twin peaks by the time i hit 30

― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:22 (sixteen years ago)

I was having dinner with two guys in their 20's: bald white guy and balding white guy. I told the latter he shouldn't shave his head (like he said he wanted to) because his neat crop look is fine and I don't think the completely bald look would work as well with for him

― CaptainLorax, Saturday, 5 June 2010 19:42 (sixteen years ago)

Crop it crop it!! I am fully in support of the balding or mostly bald short buzz.
