Thy name is vanity, a phrase co-opting from Shakespeare's Hamlet may be considered by some the distillation of all that it is to be human.

Male-pattern baldness baldness as it is designated officially, the bane both men and woman, an insidious scarlet letter of sorts, nature's cruel usurpation of seeming youth, beauty, denier of dignity, self-esteem having humbled the great and the mighty without prejudice or distinction.

The man who seems to have everything that is the fairy-taled existence of Prince William, future King of England, his reality having seemingly been conjured up by the first of three wishes granted by magical gnome set free, nevertheless not being spared by life's predilection for impishness as cosmic practical joker, having added the proclivity of extreme hair-loss to the otherwise glorious life of future king, I suppose as way of keeping his ego on terra firma, his humility always on his mind with one mere glance in the mirror.

He should shave it right down and go the full Jason Statham. Comb-overs are self-delusional.

Maybe he just needs to put a warm wet compress
on it?? If you catch my meaning, if you get my drift...

Poor guy. He just has to live with it. I just don’t think an HRH can go with the shaved-head look.

He can shave his head, grow a goatee and wear dark sunglasses just like every other idiot in Wal-Mart.

What I dont get is why rich people like him don’t get Hair transplants?

My boss has been getting them since he was in his mid 30s and now that he is nearing 50, you cant even tell he got them.

He got the individual transplants (and not plugs). You have to do them more consistently (and it costs more) but his hair looks good

He is constantly harrassing my friend and me both to get them before we get ANY visible hair loss (yes, I know it sounds contradictory and odd). He keeps telling us that the time to get “natural plugs” is when you HAVE NOT lost your hair. Then you can do small chunks at a time and no one notices.

It sounded like a great idea till he told us the price. About 3-4 grand everytime you go!! Wowza! That basically killed the deal for us.

But if I was a gazillionare and vanity was my name, I would do it.

(Also, apparently it hurts like a summabitch!)

And what’s really cruel is that his brother seems to have avoided the baldness gene. Funny how genetics works.

this is a little silly - especially for a newspaper that claims to be the newspaper of record. as a woman i can say with authority that his character, personality and sense of humour would rank way far ahead of his hairline in making him attractive to the opposite sex!

He’s 28, but his hair is 58.

I ultimately decided to shave it all off, and everyone loves it that way.

In fact, I met my wife after shaving it off, and she doesn’t want me to let it grow back.

It saves me on haircuts and I enjoy the extra couple minutes in the warm shower with my Schick Titanium blade and a bit of liquid soap.

Call me an incurable romantic if you like, but I just know women fall in love and marry for things other than physical appearance.

I mean, this guy managed to hook up with a girl who looks beyond surface attributes to see the beauty of the inner being. I'm sure the Prince will be equally fortunate.

I have always found bald men to be appealing. I know a number of women who share my view. No comb-overs, please!

Stupid article.

Do you really think the future King of England is going to have a hard time finding a girl? I don’t care if his hair looks like Kosmo Cramer.

So they are saying that he wants to marry a woman who wants him for his hair? These writers at the NYT are pretty juvenile.
