How would you deal with hair loss?

Oh, I'm looking forward to silver. My grandfather looks badass.

Yeh, they all look good, even the baddie.

I can't remember, heh, if I directed you to look at your NY thread. If I did, this will be repetitive.

I keep mine down to stubble most of the time and the rest of the time the "clean look". In summer I quite often wear a bandana, mainly to protect against sun burn.

How would you deal with hair loss?

I would dance and sing. One of the great things about aging is that i am less oppressed by the thick pad of wool on top of my benighted pate.

Two of my sisters suffer from thinning hair. At first they bought this stuff you shake on your head - some kind of tiny fibres. It clings to your scalp, filling in the balding spots and makes your hair look fuller. Then one sister went to a hair loss place and bought a scalp massager and some of their products. She swears she has new growth. According to the company, not everyone is a candidate for this procedure. It depends on when and how you started losing hair.

I dated a lawyer (who was very vain) who did some transplants, oh, some 25 years ago. At the time, he looked ridiculous because of the pattern they used for the transplanted hair (a semi-circle). They used follicles from the back of his head. I have no idea what he looks like now. It was quite a process then, involving 3 weeks min. of recovery time, but I'm sure things have improved greatly since then, and perhaps come down in price. I say, if you're self-conscious about it, do whatever you need to.

If I were losing my hair, I'd do the transplant thing if my sister's method didn't work for me... I definitely would not want a wig to deal with.

The comb-over is the most ludicrous way to deal with a bald pate. What do a few strands of hair accomplish? Nothing! And they look ridiculous hanging down in a wind

I would color in the bald spots with a washable marker. In my case, an orange marker. On hot summer days when I sweat it would be an inconvenience to have ornage rivulets streaming, Tammy Faye style, down my face. But that's the price I would have to pay to keep looking young and ridiculously sexy most of the time.

In a more severe case, where the majority of my hair has fallen out, I would get a tattoo of a full head of hair where my real hair used to be.

Problem solved.

Agreed. I'm trying to keep up the shaving, but I'm too lazy. It's surprisingly tricky.

Even the transition phase is nice, the salt and pepper thing. Cool...
That gives me a photography idea, to gather some photos of those guys. First I'd have to remember the 'evil' mentor's name, and the publicity seeking/sort-of-thief's name. (Consider these descriptions exaggerated.) I'd end up with a display that I couldn't show online, since that would be invasive. But it might amuse me, all that great hair...

On women - I had a client in northern californa who had alopecia. I think it was tough for her, though we never got around to talking about it. Her hair was both dull and missing in some pretty good sized patches.

My own hair is thinning, but like butrflynet's, it was thick to start with. I have other friends who are dealing with elder hair loss by... yes, haircutting.

I have slightly thinning hair. I have resigned to the fact that as of right now, nothing can be down to slow it. Most of the time, I never give it a thought. But on the lowest of days, it can be a thorn in the noggin.

Being frugal, the short hair cut seems to be the most practical and the aesthetically best compromise of the options.

Short hair good, as long as you don't do that bangs forward thing.

Reyne remember Yul Brenner in the King and I? That's a great look.

Yeah. The infamous combover? That's kind of counterproductive isn't it?

Yes, agreed!

Welcome to A2K, by the way!


I think it can work for those who have a great shaped head, and don't mind the maintenance of keeping it shaved.

For me though, I find facial hair shaving a bit of a pain, and try to do it every 2nd day, if I can get away with it.

The comb-over is the most practical and the aesthetically best compromise of the options.

I do admit to being out of my mind for a balding guy once. I would start to turn red if I saw him, and I was no longer all so young or innocent then, just in tharn.

As we all could predict, we did date, but he turned out to be boring in my then opinion, and the hots just dissipated, whoosh, probably for both of us. Hair, no hair, who cares.. I don't think I was better than him or he than me, though he was at a much higher university job level. Just no there, there.

It's the there that counts.

Thank god I met my wife before I lost mine then. I was no great picture when I had a full head of hair. Now I'm downright hideous.

I remember seeing that movie as a teen and thinking that man was hot. ha.
"Etc. Etc. Etc."

If I lose my hair, I think I'll go for elaborate wigs and hats. Scarves. The more eccentric look.

Hmm, what happens in a gale force wind though? Plaster the hair down with carpenter glue?


You mean like this:

Well i'm having hair loss since 7-8 year and i leave it this way. I never heard negative things about it. Sometimes a joke from friends but thats all

.. Tip from me! try the Matthew Gardsons method ONLY! I am still hopeful I will fully recover
