Thinning Hair. NOT Hiding It

[P. Aaron]

It happens. It's a bummer but I ain't doing no old congressman combover either. No long in back as it falls out in front.

A #2 all the way around.

It's over.

I switched to my preferred "haircut" implement ~20 years ago:

My hair might be thinning by now, but I couldn't say for sure.

Yeah, shave it, I did. Actually what I do now is take the guard off my electric clippers and go over my entire head with that. Clean and easy.

I'm going full skullet when my time comes.

My paternal grandfather had a full head of hair until his death, & my dad still has all his hair.
I will be in a pickle if I need to start shaving it off, because I have scars from a really bad motorbike accident.

Right now it's shoulder-length, but I'm a little paranoid that my hairline is receding, maybe I will measure from my nose to my hairline tonight & write it down someplace, LOL!

Guy from Deth made it work. Plus you can always play an extra in the next Rob Zombie movie. I call that a win. Oh, and... pics....

Al the men in my family, including me, went bald in their 30s. None of us try to hide it. We all just do clipper cuts or short scissor cuts. Be who you are.

53 years old and I've got more hair now than I had when I was 18.

68 and I still have all my hair! It's getting noticeably gray, but no thinning that I can detect. I inherited good hair and good teeth.

Recent photo (this week). I don’t think of it as a receding hairline, it’s defensible space for my eyebrows.

Other than my goatee, I've got no gray..... probably because I'm a redhead. Us gingers go from red hair to white hair.

I'm just happy to have hair at my age. Most of the guys I went to school with are bald now.

Tell us more about that goblet!

My hair started going gray in my twenties. I thought “at least I’m not going bald like some of my friends.” It went silver. Then it started falling out....

My dad had a full head of hair. Guess I didn’t get that gene from him....

 

[ebo]

Still got my hair. Lost all the color.

56 here, also more now than at 18.

Made a goatee my covid project but that's a slow work in progress.

Gray is fine, wouldn't care if it grew in orange with blue roots as long as it's still on my head.

I've heard many times that baldness skips generations. My paternal and maternal grandfathers were bald. My dad had a mostly full head of hair to the end. If the skipping generations part was true, i should be bald.

Not that I'm complaining.

Love the Cthulhu goblet

Mine started thinning out in the middle a couple of years ago, just where there's no way of styling around it. I had a co-worker once who maintained a ponytail despite a steadily-growing bald spot, so I already knew how sad that looks.
Being a vain git, I implemented a long-standing contingency plan: shave the lot.

It took a long time to adjust from having a plait down past my shoulderblades, but I got used to it eventually.

I recommend the Headblade - there's a reason they got design awards for that thing.

I’m done for when my hair falls out, because my head is shaped like a... really weird looking head.

hasn’t happened yet, thankfully!
