As a guy who went bald young. Basically I say hide it while in early stages but when it becomes not feasible to hide either rock a very short buzz or clean shave. If you don't have strong facial features also grow a beard or wear stylish glasses.

Same here. I have been shaving my head grade 1 since my mid twenties and Bic razoring my head since my thirties. I could get away with this look until late thirties but now I'm forty two and the lack of hair puts more emphasis on my aging 40's skin. I'm at the very start of the beginning to not care what I look like anymore and finding the karmic humour in it. I'd still like to look young though.

Some advice for my fellow bald gents: Get some sun on you (balding + paleness makes you look like you're sick), sunglasses and reading glasses are a big plus (even if you don't need them), facial hair is also a big plus but keep it in check(eyebrows groomed , everything else as short as possible) and don't wear collarless, mock neck or turtle neck shirts(those make your head look like an egg on a stand).

If your hair is thinning, your hairline receding or you're getting that Friar Tuck look, don't mess around with hair paint spray or tons of "product." Just own it and rock the power bald look...and make sure to put a good shine on your head (so it almost looks wet.) My wife loves feeling on my bald head.

I have thin, hay-colored hair and receding fast from front, and also I have really light brows, almost invisible. So, that makes people really notice that there's something weird going in the upper part of my face. But I'll try some short hairstyles and maybe grow some beard to draw attention more to the bottom of the face? Not sure, it might create even more contrast and look strange. Don't want to shave it completely off either.

As a 10 year everyday shaver, if you’re scared of what people will say try to remember that aside from the people you know... everyone else you meet will think this is your look. Useful Tips: -buy good shavers. And some with the single blade on the back to clean around the years. -do it while you take a shower. After you shave throw some conditioner or a high moisturizer body wash. -don’t rush: you’ll eventually cut yourself. Most of the time it’s because you didn’t take your time. Cuts in heads are really noticeable so relax. - map out your head: make a routine of all sides of your head. Missed spots look dumb.

Good video for younger men. Under 45 you have another option and spend money to get a really good weave. Otherwise over 45 I say embrace it. Having lived in a desert all my life I don't advocate a tan because after 50 you're going to spend time and money getting rid of sun spots and patches, they're inevitable. It will also damage your skin and you'll wrinkle and crease like a prune big time. I see that a lot. If you're short on hair (hahaha) damaged skin emphasizes it. Better to keep your skin in great, clear, smooth condition and use a fade cream if you have to keep color even. If you have some hair all over your head keep it short and choose a good hair color. Fillers are useful sometimes for an event, a presentation or photos but otherwise too much trouble. If you have large bald ring either in back or front back shave it off if your head shape allows for it and facial hair if you can wear it. Keep facial hair trimmed and color if it suits your skin tone.

@thisistotallyfine 7 жыл бұрын

For people with thinning hair, using Toppik hair fibers is the best solution there is without having to go bald. A combination of using hair fibers, hairspray, and a hair dryer will surprisingly give your hair much more volume. Also trim your sides short to give the illusion that there is more hair than usual. That's because it gives off a more obvious color contrast between the sides (lighter hair color depending on how short it is) and the top of the head (darker hair color). Don't just go bald because many people don't have the facial features to pull it off (not everyone looks like Jason Statham). Try to retain what you have and keep your hair healthy. Use Aveeno baby hair shampoo (less chemicals) and Nizoral shampoo (2-3 times a week) to reduce inflammation of your skull. Take biotin to strengthen your hair. All of the above are just conservative solutions. There's more aggressive treatments like hair loss medications but I don't suggest touching that stuff. If you really have no more hair left, then just consider a hair transplant or embrace the baldness.

@GaryClutchClark 7 жыл бұрын

Yes. I use Strand Maximizer--similar to Toppik--for thinning on my crown. It's amazing. I've been caught in the rain with it in, and it's never washed out. You'd have to jump in a pool or get stuck in a monsoon. A lot of guys are skeptical at first. I also agree with you that the "just cut it off" advice doesn't apply to everyone. That's easy to say to someone with a dark(er) complexion, not so easy for those with lighter complexions.
