Pretty soon the hair in your ears and nose will grow fast enough to do a really radical combover.

i can second that motion!

no hair loss yet, and i'm already past the 40 mark. (add a knock-on-wood smily here)

but the nose and ear hair growth has been really taking off in the last 2-3 years. you wouldn't believe the size of those logs ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
and most of them have turned white too, nothing like a 2" long white hair growing out of your nose ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

in fact, i was just thinking the other day, who knows how many more years i have left, full hair wise,
so i decided this summer i'm going back to my good old mohawk hairdo.

I am convinced it all starts growing south. back hair combover, ugh. I'd say just keep your hair short, less noticable than with bushy hair and a divot in the top.

It seems many of us are in the same boat. I have the Widows Peak hairline. The indentations on the widows peak have gone much farther back than desired! I had to start clipping my hair very short to avoid a lumpy look where those spots go back. (Like others I bought the clippers and haven't looked back!)

It's slowly turning into an island in front. When it actually becomes an island, the guard comes off the clippers. I refuse to have that!

I'm not worried about being bald, but watching it slowly happen bugs me.

Bald = OK
Balding = SUCKS

I'll hit 54 next week, at this point in life I have been without hair longer than with. One word: HATS! You don't want the skin cancer thing - my grandad fought it the last 30 years of his life, multiple nasty spot removals, etc. Get a couple of nice Akubra hats, you won't be sorry...

Trim it to the wood or do the flat top conversion.

I had a buddy that had the island appear up front, then it became a spider, then one day it was no more.

Be thankfull you don't live where you need the insulation on top.

If you do go the hair club route, you will need This for when you take it apart to make it better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

36 and been balding for like the last 10 years. You've seen me, it isn't pretty, but then I wasn't pretty before either.

A few years ago I went to the trimmer with no guard and thought it looked ok in the mirror but looked kinda strange in pictures. Since Christmas I've started to let it grow out a bit. I'll keep it very short but not shaved and see how that goes.

It's not a bald spot, it's a sunroof. When all the hair on top is gone you can call it a targa (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Yeah, cut it short, or scalp it off, and practice looking pissed in the mirror. My brother bic's his head. Looks like a complete bastard, has to fight the chicks off with a 2x4.

Screw it... I'd stop messing with it, and just scream at anyone who looks.

I had the chick in Supercuts tell me my hair was thinning out. Thanks a bunch!

She suggesting Rogaine. From everything I've heard it's greasy nasty stuff you have to put in your hair every day - and while it does work it's too annoying for words. Of course this is heresay.

Now - I just get a #2 buzzcut every couple of months. A friend of mine with thinner hair just shaves his. I think it's probably the best thing to do.

YMMV.

No hair does mean less aerodynamic drag.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

It's been all said. Just shave it. I started going bald when I was 22. Now you can say I've adjusted to it. Just be glad you aren't single and still cruising for chicks. LOL

Buy a trimmer and be done with it...

I'm 36, the top is thinning and the fronts are retracting
I just trim it short and when it really starts to go I'm gonna shave it all and polish it for a nice shiney look (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

And transplants? Imagine how many cool carparts you could buy instead (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

About 3 years ago I became a widower at 37 yrs. old. While I was married, I never gave a thought to my hair loss because it didn't matter much. But, after a while I knew I'd be dating again and my baldness really affected the way I thought about myself and hurt my self confidence. After some thought, I decided to have a hair transplant and I couldn't be happier with the result. The procedure cost about $5000CAN, but I now have a full head of my own hair that looks and acts completely natural. It sounds like a lot of money (and it is), but what it did for my self-image and confidence is priceless. I know it's only hair, but when women actually give you the double-take at the grocery store it makes you feel really good inside.

I'm now married again and I have no idea if the hair had anything to do with it, but it did start it.
