age 40 (almost, in April)
got the bald spot on the top of the head and the hair line in the front is lossing ground fast (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) We (Sherryl and I) figured when I really start to get thin I'd just shave my head, but not too sure if I have the right shaped head for that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) The Bosley hair club commercial came on last night and it got me to thinking........

Mike, as a fellow father of twins.. don't bother, you're going to lose it (hair) anyway. Besides, it's not a bald spot .. it's a solar receptor for a high powered sex machine! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Don't fight it, just shave it when it is time. Those hair clubs will milk you dry with monthly fees. Look at how many famous people and athletes have shaved it off. E

Mike,
Just a little history... Monoxidyl was developed as a blood pressure treatment in the form of an oral pill. It caused some rather dramatic and dangerous drops in blood pressure and is not commonly used for that purpose. In the trials it was discovered that it caused hair growth. I think that as a topical cream it is less than completely effective in that it causes very fine hair growth that most would not be satisfied with. I am not sure I would shave your head. How does Sherryl feel about it? Nothing sexier than confidence. Be proud. Lose the hat and embrace the look. No charge for the pharmacology lecture but the self-confidence talk will cost you one set of needle bearing bushings... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

the thinner it gets the shorter it gets. no comb overs. [insert donald trump] another trick of nature is that the hair on top moves south.

Keep it short. Last summer I gave up on the barber and bought a good set of clippers. I cut my own now, most of the time with no guard, it's very short. Sometimes I take a blade to it and make it bald. It's much better looking than longer hair with spots, and I save a lot of $ at the barber. I got my clippers on the internet for $30-ish. I was spending $12+ at the barber shop every time. I cut it more often now that I do it myself, too.

I did the hair club thing, it cost me 300.00 a month. It's a nice hair piece, you have a new one made for you every 2-1/2 months. you did your own maintance every 3-4 days. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif) it gets to be a hassle. After 3 yrs I decided not to do it any more, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif) I shave what little hair I had and grew a go-tee. No hassles in the morning just shower and save and your out the door in 15 minutes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |

Hang in there. Pretty soon the hair in your ears and nose will grow fast enough to do a really radical combover. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
IMHO transplants are the only real fix, and from what I understand it's an expensive and annoying procedure. Hey, growing old ain't for sissies, so sack up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

You are lucky, my hair "went south" in my early 30s. I shaved it off and haven't gone back.
Two important points: 1) hats and sunscreen on your scalp in the sun are REQUIRED! 2) Do not let it grow too long between shaves because you will look like a Chia Pet. |

do you really want someone to sew a rug on the top of your head? HCFM will be where you get your hair cut in the future. your existing hair will continue to fall out and it will become a never ending routine. live with it and use sun block when you don't want to wear a hat. if you're still interested call and ask what the expected yearly cost will be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) .

i was told if you get a buzz cut and spike it then it will lessen the blow.
looks pretty good too. (advice given from an ex hair-cutter) then five years later go to the #2 trimmer bar . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) hey mike, don't you need help with something??? 'cuz i owe you some garage time or something... |

Men and women look at me and unconsciously tussle their hair which causes me to be a little self conscious at times. I've also had guys at work suggest that I get a transplant or whatever. But screw it, I say play the cards you're dealt. Just dont let the bod go. Paraphrasing: "Fat and bald is no way to go through life, son."

I've been balding since I was 19 (maybe even 17). I'm 32 now. I just fight fire with fire and been shaving my own head for the last 10 or 12 years. I haven't paid for a haircut in that time. I wonder how much money that adds up to?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif) man and I'm worried about getting grey hair(s) at 45... I don't notice lack of hair in others. I'd say in your case if it's okay with Sheryl then that's all that matters... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
