    which sort of means it's not too great, or else you wouldn't know. Even the idea of a man wearing a wig is ridiculous. Just.shave.it.off. Or do a Shane Warne/Rooney - get the lawn re-seeded, which, maybe just to me, is more comical than even a wig. But then I'm easily amused. Comb-overs are comedy gold, as is dyeing it. I just crack up. I'm sorry, but I do.
    I didnt know until someone told me....

    Whats the consensus on having hair at the sides and back but none on top, shave it all off or keep a bit like Patrick stewart?

    If you just buzz it all off, and keep it like that then you needn't constantly worry about it gradually receding more.

    More hair on your face, than head even if just stubble can aid masculinity and I am led to believe that women like that.

    It's the equivalent of a woman's tits falling off.
    is it hell,we dont all like our tits,if anything its men that like them more,evolution is a disgrace for sticking those on us.
    certainly woudnt mind if mine fell off,havent got any attachment to them;other than the skin and flesh maybe.

    hair is pointless,it only ever had a reason for existing in the days people wore less clothes, evolution will have it all gone completely within a number of generations to come,just shave it all off now and get used to it,its great having it shaved,less fuss.

    Personally anywhere from skin smooth to zero blade tight (ie: use no guide on the trimmer) stubble. That's said I'm pretty lazy and if I don't have to go on a big night out or interview or something I can leave it and get some thick dark 'Camp Krusty' side and back going before it annoys me.

    When its that short you need to be at it every 2nd say.

    Head... I am not here to plug wigs, and don't bother combing through the suggestions they are over-rated if you just shave it off then is just the tonic.

    Bald heads are sexy.

    Shave it!

    Try Propecia while you still can. It stops the DHT (strong testosterone) from affecting your hair follicles.
    The side effects are exaggerated but just make sure children/women don't get anywhere near it.
    The very worst is that you will keep what you have. It is expensive and if you were to research every possible side effect you would probably be put off.
    My 2 cents is to avoid the trauma and go for it.

    I'm 25 and going bald now to the point where a lot of people and students have said it.. Luckily I did an impulse blade 3 all over about a year and a half ago and I've a normal head suited to it. But I still looked better with a full head of hair.

    Gonna go completely bald or blade 3 again in the next few days I think and that'll be my hair like that for good.

    Based on the 'official information' I would suggest the side effects are understated.

    Never used the product but it seems like an expensive risk. Results are varied and the side effects can be pretty awful.

    When I noticed I was going light on top I was undecided what to do, I wasn't losing any at the front but for me growing the hair longer and trying to cover up the bare bit on top wasn't the way to go so I keep it to number 1 level now.

    Being honest it's not my ideal hairstyle and if circumstances were different I would have it longer but it's happened and there is nothing I can do about it.

    I really envy men who never go bald.

    I don't mind going bald, but I do have to look after myself better now.

    When was overweight there couple years ago face looked worse with little hair.

    Know friend who since went bald gets hundred times more attention from opposite sex.

    Some lads can pull it off.

    Hence as I'm not that bothered I often leave until I have somewhere special to go or It starts to look goofy. 2 or 3 times a week is too fiddly for my likings. Ideally the ultra sort / light stubble would be the look for me tho.

    In my experience I have also I've looked a better baldy after losing the fair bit of weight. Yet of course Mack has naught to worry on that stake.

    Thing is you can have as much hair on your head as you want and still be one ugly goofy looking mofo that gives women the shivers. The hair ain't gonna help. Or worse again you could be a short arse.

    If your fat, you can lose the weight. Balding? Shave it all off or get a hair transplant.

    Ugly? You fcuked sucka! Hair or no hair.

    Of course its all about the beauty within isn't it. .../stifled sniggering

    One thing you absolutely do not want is a skullet I mean saw a guy at a show recently, and no way was he letting go of what he had left and with nothing on top it just appeared wrong.

    If he was older, then maybe and he certainly appeared that older guy from behind, but from the front it just didn't fit the profile.
