@tokyo 14 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hey. Last year or so my hairline has been - whats the word - receeding and getting thin on top. I think it's time to accept that I am starting to go bald. So calling all you baldies. How long did it take from the first signs to becoming bald. Do you do little silly tufts? Or even a barcode (or variation of!) Do tell! Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 just shave it off and pre-empt it....that way you can still (JUST) say that you do it for fashion, then after a few months when you've convinced yourself that you can still grow it back.....you'll see that actually you can't and you'll shave it off again. Thats how I did it Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well I still got all my hair, although it has receded a little, if I should go bald, not bothered at all, certainly I wont bother about the comb over, will just shave it off and be done with it! Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 For right now, I have a full head of hair. My dad is a bit bald I suppose, don't they say it skips a gen? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I think that is too simplistic BoC. +1s father was Friar Tuck in his early 20s. +1 only really started the backward march/thinning in his late 30s (he has chosen the close cut) But bear cub #1 is looking decidedly 'peaky' at 19, and #2 at 17 is not far behind... My father has had a gradual progression and retained probably 60-70%, similar to +1. One brother has a full and thick head of hair at 40 (next month) despite having his head shaved and cut open for brain surgery 10 years ago. Other brother has thick hair, but significantly more forehead than before at 30. Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 I just want to get an idea of timescale from 'starting to thin out' to skinhead. Not sure that skinhead will suit me actually. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Try a wig while you got some. Make sure that it looks nothing like your real hair and everyone can tell where it fits in. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure that skinhead will suit me actually. I didn't think I'd suit it either but actually its fine.....telling ya, best option is to do it when your drunk, then its done and theres no going back. You7ll try and grow it back and then you'll find that you can't so sod it!! Link to post Share on other sites
