September 17, 200817 yr I didnt realize that balding effects alot of the guys in their 20's until I actually hit my 20's.I always thought it was something that happens when you turn into an old man.But a large % of the guys I know that are my age are either completely bald already or are in the process of it. I have my hair thankfully but Iam worried that I will lose my hair at a young age considering its genetic and most times skips generations.My father has all his hair at 48 but both my grandfathers lost their hair at a young age. How do you look at your best when your bald?Do you shave all your hair off?Which could be a good look for some people.Or do you just go with it?And Iam going to assume that no one on here will admit to wearing a rug on their head.
September 17, 200817 yr Isn't baldness determined by your grandfather and great grandfather on your mothers side?

September 17, 200817 yr I have a full head of slowly graying hair, minus a small thinning patch on the crown. So many guys shave their head now that it's kind of refreshing to see someone sport the Ring Of Hair.
September 17, 200817 yr I had a forehead "like a bumper from a Chevy" way back, but my hairline hasn't receded any more than that. I'm trying to get more gray, but it just ain't happening since I booted out the ex.
September 17, 200817 yr Around 30 the crown area started to become bare. (I am currently 42) For now it is maybe golf ball sized. The hair I have now is almost all gray, but when I get out of the shower, I can see where it is thinned than the rest. I can see the crown Critic talks about. I am not going to go there. When the spot gets softball sized, it all comes off. No comb-overs, no crown.

September 17, 200817 yr True story. I was so concerned of balding when I was 20, I bought rogaine on ebay. My hairline is the same 6 years later. But it did seem to change from ages 18-20. Everyone who knows about my story still gives me a hard time.
September 17, 200817 yr My hair has really, really thinned out over the last year and a half (I just turned 23 a few weeks ago). It's not just a receding hairline or a bald spot, either. It's just much thinner overall. My older brother (27) has lost significant amounts of his hair already. How do I deal with it? I cry myself to sleep. Edited September 17, 200817 yr by StrangeSox

Geeze, I wonder who one of those friends is.....what an ass u are, LOL.
September 18, 200817 yr Well around 35 my very white skin on the back of my head that was protected by thick hair started to burn on long days out. Thats when I realized that my defense shield was going away. Of course I said to my wife, god I am starting to thin back there. She replies, what do you mean starting. You have been like that for a while. Isn't that a kick in the groin. Of course, I have a relative that started to bald at 23. So the fact that I have kept the defense shield in tact for this long I consider a blessing.
September 18, 200817 yr A one-liner to use on others if they rag on you about it is, "I'd rather lose what's on the outside, that what's on the inside". and "Grass doesn't grow on a busy street".
September 18, 200817 yr I always had thin or fine hair growing up, I knew it was coming. I told myself if it got to the point where it was extremely noticeable, it is all coming off. I didnt bic my head, but I shave it with no clipper guard once every couple of weeks. I actually enjoy it better now, I dont have to worry about getting haircuts at the barber because I can do it myself, I dont have to brush my hair before leaving, etc. No complaints, I am what I am. If you dont like it, thats your problem
