Six Things I Wish I Had Known Before I Went Bald

I have been bald for almost three years. Some people – primarily my brother – will tell you that I have actually been bald for much longer than that, but I like to count from the moment I realised it was pointless to pretend that I still had hair. The moment I stopped trying to keep it in place with chemical sprays. The moment I abandoned the comb-over. It has been almost three years since I bought an electric razor from Argos and buzzed the whole lot off.

Gawd, I started losing hair 40 years ago. Now I embrace the bald, just wear a hat when out in public(LOL).

Well at least I didn't waste money getting a toupee.

“Bald is beautiful!”......said no man with hair, ever..............

I had the opposite problem.

My hair was so thick that it needed thining out at each haircut. Then in 2021 I got Covid. Not many people know that covid can lead to hair loss.

But it happened to me. Which is OK. At age 66 my hair is still full and nearly white.

Male pattern baldness is caused by extra testosterone.

Have to take the bad with the good.

63, not going bald yet, but since I started taking the blood thinners 10 months ago, my hair is thinning out a little.

[Who is John Galt?]

Top of the list for me is "winning lotto number"...

;>)

I had a full head of hair until I was about 55. Then it suddenly got thin. So I got an electric clipper and gave myself a buzz cut.

I can't believe I waited that long.

I love it. No fuss, no muss. It looks clean and feels great.

I think a lot of men would love it because it's manly...but it takes that first step.

[laplata]

Yep, it’s a trade off. Lol

[RoosterRedux]

I buzz my hair though I have enough hair to not have been considered bald.

I love the feel of no hair.

When you cut it off you quickly realize how vain hair is on a man. Silly stuff.

What are the six things?

[Trailerpark Badass]

At my age, I’d rather have the extra hair.

[kosciusko51]

I started losing my hair at 16. I rarely was carded at bars before turning 21.

[Falcon4.0]

My hair started thinning at age 18, but a couple of years later I stopped worrying about it and my hair stopped thinning. Just saying.

[Red Badger]

We had a guy in HS was completely bald at 18. Looked just like his dad, an exact duplicate...............

[Red Badger]

When I shave I just run the electric razor over the top an mow off the fuzz that’s left now.............

[PGR88]

many years ago, a woman told me that 6’ tall, fit, blue-eyed guys, bald and with buzz-cuts were the sexiest men she could ever imagine.

so I married her.

[Disambiguator]

I started wearing my hair short in 1980 and have never looked back.

The reason was, I was riding motorcycles a lot at the time and had to deal with “helmet head” with longer hair.

[Yo-Yo]

Male pattern baldness is caused by extra testosterone. Have to take the bad with the good.

Men who go bald in front are great thinkers.

Men who go bald in back are great lovers.

Men who go bald in front and back think they are great lovers.

I really don’t think that they will ever develop a medication to regrow hair once one is bald All the advertisements of hair regrowth are all total BS. I started losing my hair during the Cuban missile crises as a college freshmen. I had to stop chasing girls but I started making the Dean’s List by attending more on academics. Still, I would have preferred to have kept my hair and wild chicks. Then came the JFK assassination but I was bald by then.
