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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

My dad was very bald by 40. He went the high end toupe - Hair Club for Men - route. Spent tons on upkeep and new rugs as his hair color changed.

At 60-ish my forehead had crept back about halfway to the back AND I was developing a bald spot on the crown. I was nearing the awkward state of just a strip of hair separating the two bald areas. Enough.

I shaved what was left off.

When you entirely shave your head, it is INTENTIONAL. You don’t look like a poor sap that is trying to comb over what is left. You have embraced baldness and you and it are one!

It doesn’t hurt that my wife thinks a totally bald head is sexy.

1 - I save a lot on shampoo
2 - I save a lot on hair cuts
3 - Morning hair isn’t a problem
4 - sunburn can be a problem
5 - women seem to like to rub my dome
6 - There is no lower maintenance hair than no hair

I caught a bug in Vietnam (when I was 18) and the fever was so high I lost most of my hair. It grew back but by the time I was 22 I had male pattern baldness. Since I was married by then I did not let it bother me and just accepted it. Of all life’s problems, this is so minor it is not worth worrying about.

I’m in my mid 70’s and have a full head of snow white hair that seems to grow like weeds in the garden. I also hate getting haircuts, almost lost an earlobe to a drunken barber when I was about 5. So, when I do get haircuts it’s usually overdue. Every now and then I get the urge to tell my barber to just shave it all off.

I once heard a bald man say, “The Good Lord blessed some of us with perfect scalps. The rest, He gave hair.”

Gotta tell ya, that attitude rocked.

Keep it short so

It can’t be grabbed and held in a fight.
Helmets fit better

High and tight looks better

Carry on

I don’t know; but I been told, by a bald guy, you can’t have hair and brains both. Something to do with evolution; apes ain’t usually bald...I wonder if Einstein wore a rug?

I believe the major cause of hair loss on top is due to headboards, and along the sides is due to thighs.
