Yeah, I shave my head and have a beard, too. It's a very masculine look.

Still think this one is the best, despite having nothing to do with their hair

Nothing to do with hair, but this is the best
Completely bald here! I just shave off the rest till i blind others when the sun hits the top of my head just right.
Used to get real self conscious about balding when I was in my 20s, but I feel like the older you get, the more you master the art of not giving a damn. My friends tell me that it suits me, so that's a bonus.

Looks good! Same with the septum!
You know, I plan on getting my septum pierced in the near future, too. I like the idea of a piercing that no one will no about but me, so I plan on stretching it to 8g and stickin a plug up there.
Cool. It doesn't really hurt getting it pierced but stretching it hurts a lot. I had mine at 6g before, but I forced it so it hurt more than it had to. Go slow and take your time.

I was already going bald when I got married, you can see in my hairline receding already:
I think it was maybe 6 or 7 years from then that I had lost pretty much everything except the sides and back. I just shave now keep it all even.

Yah... I'm in the process of waiting for my ears to heal so I can start stretching those. One common theme people have is that taking things slow is the best thing, and that seems like a good idea to me. I'm in no rush.

Who here is either bald or going bald?
I am now bald headed and I'm 37, started going bald in my 20s
The back of my head is mostly bald but I have some hair left up front
I console myself with the notion that it's a sign of me being an alpha-male
And maybe it is?
Do you resent your baldness?
I certainly do
In my youth I had an extravagant head of hair
I miss that very much
I hide it by regularly having my remaining hair shaved off by a barber
I had a long thick head of hair all through my 20's then started loosing it in my 30's. Totally freaked out... thought my life was over... started doing that pathetic comb-over thing where I could convince myself looking in the mirror that I didn't look bald, but I wasn't fooling anyone else. Finally in my late 30'd I decided that worrying about how I'd look completely bald was making me far more miserable that actually being bald would be, so I went and shaved my head.
Took some getting used to, but it was the best thing I could have done. My life didn't end. My kids didn't run away screaming - okay, the two youngest did the very first time they saw me, but they quickly got over it. Having hair was nothing but a hassle... washing it conditioning it always making sure it looked 'okay'... it was all just about my silly ego. The truth is if they found a sure-fire cure for baldness tomorrow I wouldn't have the slightest desire to get to the treatment.

I never worried about losing my hair. But it was a challenge and a change when my wife told me to shave it all off. I didn't want to do that. But I finally did, and it was nice. So I understand not wanting the change, but also see that it isn't so bad.
I didn't really answer the OP when I replied to this thread before.Who here is either bald or going bald?

Yes, I have fairly advanced male-pattern baldness at 31. However, I've been shaving my head since 2009, so it wasn't a big deal. I do resent not really having a choice in terms of hairstyles. No growing my hair out for me, which sucks because I do like the jarhead look and I looked good with a style like that. It doesn't bother me that much. I'm just surprised how quickly the balding has advanced. Lol.
On the other hand, the hair on my head seems to just have gone to every other place on my body. I have a rug on my back, for example. Lol. Even my *** is hairy.

At least I don't have to fawn over the mirror for hours anymore in vain attempts to hide it.

I took minoxidil as soon as I noticed myself beginning to bald, minoxidil enabled me to regrow hair over my previous baldness.Who here is either bald or going bald?

I am thinning on my sides, but more on my right. I keep my hair long and in a ponytail, and I personally think it looks fairly okay. Kind of distinguished.

I knew my hairline was receding, but I didn't realize I was going bald until I was standing in the service desk line at Walmart. I looked at the camera monitor whose camera was positioned behind me. I saw a guy standing in line with a bald spot the size of a golfball. I thought to myself "that poor ******* is really losing his hair." As I turned around to see who the unfortunate soul behind me was losing his hair, the balding guy in camera turned with me.
Anyway, I now have long hair. Most have no idea I have a sizable bald spot because I pull my hair up in a messy-bun.
That said, baldness never really bothered me. It's a natural phenomenon that runs in my genes. I don't fight it. OTOH, my brother, when started going bald in his early 20s, fought it with Rogaine and hair transplants.

The measure of a man isn't whether he is bald or not.
But let's not split hairs.
God made two different types of heads, one that is beautiful and the other that is ugly, and the latter He covered with a lot of hair.

I still have all of my hair. And very little gray. Except my eyebrows and those need regular clipping.
