Started losing mine many moons ago and it never really bothered me - just kept it short/shaved ever since.
Anyone on here gone down the hair transplant route? Just curious how it worked out.

My mate runs this company. A more affordable route than transplant.In essence it’s a wig which is glued on for 5-6 weeks at a time0

Shave it off and embrace the freedom.If you have lost your hair and it suddenly appears again that’s just weird.
Its the same with people that had normal teeth and then brilliant ones.
and people with normal lips that suddenly look like they’ve been stung.
it’s all bollocks.
work with what you have, and improve it if you can, but don’t replace it.
Juergen Klopp, Wayne Rooney and Katie Price are all on a spectrum of weirdness.12 -
The guy who used to cut my hair went to Turkey about 5 years ago to have a hair transplant. I was really impressed with the result and it was still good for a couple of years after - he moved to Dubai so don’t know how it looked after that. He kept his hair very short, stubby, not quite shaved so it had that Bruce Willis/Die Hard (first movie) look about it so whether it would have looked ok if it had grown to any length is another matter.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Started losing mine many moons ago and it never really bothered me - just kept it short/shaved ever since.

I've just gone retro Skinhead0

Started falling out when I was 16.
Shaved it off around a year later.Even if a miracle cure was found that gave you a full perfectly manageable head of hair back I’d refuse it.
Shave it twice a week and forget about it the rest of the time.
For me, the worst attempt I have seen at a cover up is Raymond Van Barnaveld. Tattoo’d and looks like a LEGO mini figure.2 - Sponsored links:

Mullet syrup is the way to go.1

Still got a full head of hair but it's wasted on me.
I've been shaving my head for about 40 years.
So much easier than fucking about with a comb and worrying what style to have.
Skinheads rule 👊3 -

Long hair is for women, wouldn't worry about it mate0

Been going lower and lower with the grades on my clippers, been a zero for years but now bought Wahl Bald and Buzz Cut clippers, put it on the bald setting and felt unusual at first but now feels so clean. As above no need to faff around with a comb or hairbrush, gels, mousse and all the other stuff.0

Just comb it over. 70s look0

I have a carefully crafted comb over that requires an industrial amount of hair products and a team of experts to assemble.0

I wonder if that guy has ever seen this pic?SuedeAdidas said:

And if so, what did he do about it?
Shave it all off or get a stronger glue 💪0 -

Heisenburg embraced it.
I agree with the lip surgery comment. Why do women feel a need to do that? I'm not having a go or criticising what they feel about it.
I just think the pressures of looking like an essex lady doesn't really serve any kind of positive purpose.
Lips are good enough the way they are. They don't need changing.4 - Sponsored links:

I’d look like kryten off red dwarf if I shaved my head. I’m receding slightly but not enough to warrant getting rid

Started losing my hair when I was 17 (I’m 63 now)! I faffed about for several years with different cuts and styles, but ended up shaving everything off and never been happier.

I’ve got one booked for end of September in London. Mainly my crown and front. 3,000 grafts.My heads the wrong shape to be shaved.3

Definitely grey and thinning now, have shaved mine for years though0

Been grey from around 23, moved onto shorter cut years later, current standard is a number 1 on head and beard, works for me, all done at home with decent clippers0

I use hairspray to keep it in place...Chunes said:I have a carefully crafted comb over that requires an industrial amount of hair products and a team of experts to assemble.
As long as I keep it short, it doesn't become unmanageable0 -
Could just wear a hat or cap. No good indoors I guess but keeps a balding head warm in the balmy winter weather.0

I have a full head of soft, thick, shiny hair that I tend to shave off every so often because I prefer having as little hair on my head as possible. Will trade for a full, coarse, salt and pepper beard, seeing as I don't grow too much...1

I’ve got a head of dark brown hair and a very grey beard — about the only thing I’ve got going for me these days, to be honest.I do get asked two questions fairly often -1. Do you dye your hair?2. Why don’t you dye your beard?
I shaved my head for years, right up until I moved to France. Then I let it grow out for a few years — that is, until COVID hit. After that, I went back to shaving it again.When I moved back to the UK, I started going to a local barber for beard trims. He couldn’t understand why I was shaving my hair off. At the time, he told me he had clients who’d give their back teeth to have the hair I had.Funnily enough, he’s since had a hair transplant himself. It costs him £3k up Harley Street, not sure what degree he's had, but I think it looks very fluffy.0
