Guys - Does/Would Severe Hairloss Bother You??

SharpshooterTom

I'm just curious about guys opinions about going bald. Some say they don't care, shave it, take it like a man etc, some prefer not to lose it so young, some prefer not to lose it althogether ever.

I say this because of the increasing number of hair transplants that are occuring amongst celebrities nowadays, namely Wayne Rooney, Mel Gibson, James Nesbitt even Louis Walsh has had one!

I guess most us have some sort of notable recession at some stage of our lives, but would it bother you if went bald like literally before the age of 30? (e.g. Prince William)

My father went close to the had some notable recession in his 20s but hasn't progressed any further and he still has that hair even at 54. And has no grey hair either. I say that because I think I have my fathers hairloss pattern, have now gotten some frontal recession too but hopefully means I'm not going bald.

Would you ever consider hair loss treatments, or even brave enough to admit it? If you ended up looking something like a cueball at an early age would it bother you??

If I lost a lot of hair I would shave it off.

Few of my mates have done this and it hasn't had a negative effect on their careers/lovelives etc

MickySticks

Well I'm 24 and my hair is thinning and falling out at a rapid rate since I was 21, it can be depressing at the start but now I don't give a fuck. There's nothing I can do about it.

TeddyTedson

Nah, I don't think so anyway.
It sort of depends though on the shape of your face and how symmetrical it is.
People with that wife beater hair loss style and comb over men need to be sent on a 3 day Fás course.

I thought it skipped a generation?

Why go bald?

Bipolar Joe

Yes. I am quite a hairy man from the neck up and it's all I got going for me.

You don't automatically inherit your fathers hair though.
I'm not even sure that skip a generation nonsense is factual.

You do if he leaves it to you in his will.

This is true. Rows over hair inheritance have led to more feuds and murders than land, cows or wimmin. Especially if it was divided between all, but he didn't grow it long.

downwithpeace

I have short hair and would like to keep it, don't think I'm in any real issue of loosing it but if it comes to that I wouldn't loose any sleep, now if I was 16-24 and it decided to disappear then that would annoy me.

LH Pathe

yes it'd be a big deal for me going from looking probably more 27 to somewhere over 40, I think though not dying my barnet could have the same effect cos the sides r goin white..

I'd be a II due to scraping back moderate length. under stress at temples. tuggage

Napper Hawkins

If I thought it would seriously affect my chances with the opposite sex then yeah, it would bother me greatly. But it hasn't.

Not that I've lost much anyway though, receding at the front a tad and slightly thinning at the crown. If it gets any worse I'll just shave it all off.

That said, wouldn't say no to a cheap miracle growth cure with no side effects if it existed.

Pottler

Auld lad was 84 when he popped it and he had hair like father Jack. I have inherited his hairy head and so has my eldest lad(youngest looks a bit thin tbh and he's 12). If I lost 50%, it would put me in the "manageable hair" category, so not too bothered. Do think its a case of "shave it off not comb it over" though, if thinning is an issue.

When I was 17 I was told that I would get bald and I replied by saying not a chance.

For a whole i noticed breakage while brushing my hair but ignored it.

Been happening over 6 yrs now plus i had a nasty habit of curly my hair or pulling it out.
anyway last summer after having full hair one morning I noticed i could see my scalp visibly.

Then it hit me I'M GOING BALD.. FFS i felt sick.

Now I'm bet and I suffer from MPB.

some guys say ah you be grand, on the outside you're okay bu on the inside could be a mental and physiological torture.

several times I've taken a camera to sap pictures of my scalp to see how worst its everyday.

Infact telling your mates that you're going bald is an issue, Since i found out I was bald i started wearing hats alot of time. so one day I told my self feck i have to accept, i removed my hat in class and a guy waled over and said man you going bald.... Sweaty armpits nervousness feck what will they say, you try putting a bold face. Fortunately they took it well. no slagging or some sort. I've even made jokes about going bald myself.


But I choose not to go bald unlike some others i was born with full hair, literally full hair very full and i intend to die with one fake or real.
Once I've got the money I will be getting a non surgical hair transplant.

but as of now i feel at peace when My hair is all shaved as no one can tell if I'm going bald or not.

The King of Moo

I've reconciled myself to my oncoming baldness.

It seems to be in the genes and my hair is now thinning a little.
I've kept it closely shaved for most of my life simply because I prefer it like that in terms of appearance and convenience, but it also happens to be good practice for going bald.

I'll keep on shaving it and hopefully by the time I'm sixty I'll be able to pull off baldness like my avatar there.
I think I've the right-shaped head for it .

TeddyTedson

This thread is a bit sexist.
Why can't the ladies have an opinion on the matter!?

Seriously? I thought it would be quite difficult getting the best women if you had a hairstyle like Bobby Charlton at 25/30??

RichieC

Maintaining the humble comb over is a dying skill.

pragmatic1

Going through it since my mid twenties. It bothers me a bit but not much I can do about it so fcuk it.

No such thing, not past sixteen eighteen, anyway.
I shaved my head as a teen and looked like I had acute terminal lukeimiea, so yes, I'd be gutted if I went bald.
Unless girls dig the 'sick' look nowadays?
Ladies?

Where To

Lost most of it when I was 19.

Haven't missed it at all, without hair I have more free time and more money

sidneykidney

I started going bald at 19-20yrs. By my mid-twenties I was pretty much bald.

Didnt bother me in the slightest, never has, never will.

thunderdog

Gradually going bald since about 20.....very gradually. Doesn't bother me, although Im almost at the stage now where I have more hair on my back and arse than on my head

You look at your ass in the mirror?

Sparklepants!

My dad was bald at 25, my grandad never had hair after he was 25-ish. I should be fine

I'd far rather be grey than bald.

Fenian Army

Started losing my hair, fretted and got very down about it, investigated all the options and took the simplest and most effective, gave myself a number 3... sorted.

Some people can pull it off, some can't, I think I am in the can't group.
I used to worry about going grey, then I realised I'll probably go bald so obviously that quickly got rid of any concerns about going grey.

Comb over forum?

The gf informed me. I found her when I had a full head of hair on my head

brummytom

I'm receding at the moment, but I've got a bit of a fringe so it's not noticeable yet; but when it does become it, yeah I won't be happy.

AlmightyCushion

My hair started thinning when I was 20/21 (Thinking back it was probably a lot earlier but I didn't realise it at the time). I'm 25 now and extremely light on top, pretty much bald as a coot. At first it did annoy me but eventually you just get over it and learn to live with it. I started cutting my hair with a number 1 blade all round a while ago. I was worried it wouldn't suit me but I think it looks good.

Sindri

Baldness is a sign of fertility.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I'm quite lucky as my hair has always been thick and full, nobody on both my parents sides lost theirs so I'd imagine I'll follow suit.

xflyer

At the age of 52 I haven't lost a hair. So no, it doesn't bother me.

K-9

Everybody is looking at my bald patch!

Much prefer to go grey, then again I haven't a grey hair on my body so what would I know!

Having a full head head of hair and not a shred of grey must be amazing! All the first worlds problems solved.

gazzer

Im 40 and thank god I have not lost any hair. A shaved head would not suit mne at all. I think I would look like Gollum if I had to shave it

seamus

Probably wouldn't bother me. I have Jackson-5 level afro hair naturally, so I've kept it short (blade 1 or 2) since I was 15. Baldness would just require shaving it tighter again.

My hairline is quite high with a widow's peak, so it's always kind of looked it's receding along the sides, but as far as I can tell there's been little or no change in the last ten years. I have seen photos of the top of my head though and it looks bizarrely like I'm half-bald. I think that's the high hairline though.

I have no idea if I ever will go bald. My Dad isn't, he's got tonnes of hair, and none of my brothers are. However, my Dad's brother is, and all of his sons are balding and they all have the same shaped hairline as me.
If it does happen, it'll probably be quite late on, into my mid-forties or fifties, at which stage a shaved head can take years off anyway

smash

What's with the age in the options? I never want to go bald.

foxyboxer

I've been bald since I was 19.

If I had a full head of hair now, I'd look weird.

sbsquarepants

Speaking as someone who is well down the road to baldytown - it's not the end of the world. I think i look better bald than i did with hair!

JohnMarston

Wouldnt want to lose the mane. I mean its not like shaving it all off would maintain the illusion i could grow it all back.

Duggy747

Not going bald but getting fairly grey at a quick pace, which I'd prefer to have any day.

Bald look suits alot of people, especially if they have tight cuts. I'd look horrific with a bald head, like Sloth. I'd probably get jailtime for crimes against humanity.

Nothingbetter2d

if its windy out i'd just do a comb over but its it fine out i'd wear a toupee.... lol god no i'd shave it all off if i went bald

Stiffler2

If my hair fell out I would be F***ing DEVASTATED.
I think I'd have to get a Rooney.

If lots of started to fall out I would shave the head to hide it ( haw haw )


Luckily I'm only going grey at the mo & bitches love grey hair.

mongdesade

I've my whole head tattooed...had to grow my hair to placate the auld employer :mad:

I'd be chuffed if I went bald :eek:

It would bother me a lot. I look like a Neo Nazi if I didn't have hair. I'd just get a realistic looking wig though.

Know me though, I would probably whip it off when I got drunk and go, "Look, it's fake!" just for a laugh.

c_man

Yes, I'd hate it. I'd be left with no option but to shave my head and I'd look even more demented than normal.

Jimmy Bottlehead

I've had shaggy curly mop-head since I was 18, I'm 25 now.

The past year or so my hairline has been receding at the front, to the point that I hated windy days as it'd blow my fringe back and (IMO) it looked like I was trying to hide the hairline (which I kinda was).

Finally bit the bullet and went and got a shorter haircut. It's done a world of good for me, hair looks much better for it.
I'm lucky enough in that it's not an extreme receding hairline - it's along the lines of Lance Armstrong:

If I was going proper bald though, I'd just shave it all off. No point fighting a battle you're obviously not winning.

CL7

I spent most of my late teens/twenties worrying about my receeding hairline. Tried everything to slow it down. The only thing I didn't try was shave it because I "knew" it wouldn't suit me.

I'm 32 now and finally a few months ago I got sick of it and just went for it. Guess what, it suits me pretty well and I have received a few compliments about it. Feel like a proper idiot for all the time I spent worrying about it but **** it it's in the past now.


Anyone going through the same thing, just shave it off. It may not suit you but at least you will know and it will grow back in no time.
