Guarantee you are the only person who notices this. Believe it or not, teh rest of the work doesn’t pay that much attention to the top of your head, or how mine slopes to one side 
Shave it off.

It’s not the 70s dude … Take advantage of the path blazed by the Bald Eagle Patriarch Bruce Willis - a path attempted with lesser success by the great Yul Brynner…
A good build, a tan, and some facial hair or stubble and you’re home free
There are many women who require a good head of hair on their man … Shit out of luck there
There are also many who don’t care, or who LOVE a man with a shaved head … A little confidence goes a long way. Hiding behind procedures, rugs, and potions isn’t going to impress anyone
Save your money for steak and supps …
I also wouldn’t fuck with drugs like propecia and the like as there have been links with testosterone decline with it (check TRT threads)
I’m starting to bald so I’ve been trimming my head with no blade for about 4 years. The best parts are that A) it takes about 10 min every 6 days or so to keep it looking good, and B) my clippers cost $10 and last 3 years or so. So $3.33 for haircuts over the course of a year.
That said, there are some interesting looking hair replacement procedures out there. I plan on letting my hair grow out again sometime soon to see if I can still do it…
It’s been said in a way already, but since it is of highest importance, consider this:
What is implied about a man who can’t accept superficial things about himself over which he has no control?
I can’t think of a response that isn’t a turn-off to women, and that is naturally the underlying concern behind this entire discussion.
I have had surgery before. I was pretty much bald by the age of 19 and at 20 I had the surgery. I went from having long thick curly locks to fack my hair…where are you going…staup!!! I am happy I got it. My hair isn’t as thick as I want it but that usually takes two surgeries for the average person. One to get the shape down which it won’t look bad after and the second for the density and fullness.
About two months after surgery is the pic. I’m the one with the jacket on.
Hair cloning is getting pretty fucking close everyone…
This is worth the read…
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) have devised a hair restoration method that can generate new human hair growth, rather than simply redistribute hair from one part of the scalp to another. The approach could significantly expand the use of hair transplantation to women with hair loss, who tend to have insufficient donor hair, as well as to men in early stages of baldness. The study was published today in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Guys like Jason Statham and Bruce Willis look good with a shaved head because it suits their facial features well and they have nice looking heads, lol. It also helps if you are black or have darker skin.[/quote]
YOU SIR ARE RACIST!!![/quote]
Haha, it ain’t racist, it’s the truth. Balding white guys are jealous of how good black guys look with shaved heads.[/quote]
Get a tan.
Or you can try this.
A buddy of mine did that bosley shit about 7yrs ago… He was bald as fuck… Now he has hair like Jesus

I’m not shaving it off just because it is thinning right now. I wouldn’t do that until I got pretty bald.

Ehh, I’m a blonde haired, blue eyed guy. I don’t see the point in tanning and exposing my fair skin to something that can harm it.

Did they require you to take propecia to stop further loss, results look good.
My hair is a bit receeded now at 23, looks like a mature hairline but I am sure it will recess further in the future so cool to know there are plenty of options now. I am not one for using drugs for myself but definitely also can’t pull off the shaved head look too much either lol

I don’t look terrible with the shaved head look but from going from a full head of hair to looking like a thirty year old man wasn’t for me. They recommend you do which I am now but after I get my second surgery I will more than likely stop. Yeah my hair thinned way out during basic training so when I tried to grow my hair after I was in shock. Shop around before you would have a procedure if you would decide to go that route. Also that one article above was rather interesting.

I know one guy that went the Bosley route and it looks 100% real. I’m worse off that what he started with so my results may vary. One other guy I know had something done maybe 20 years back, still looks like zoysia grass plugs.
I’m considering it not completely out of looks. Hair is a great cushion for the head. I managed to open a 2.5" long gash in my scalp in July which may have been avoidable if I had hair in that area.

I cut mine progressively shorter for about two years before I realised I could do it myself. In my eyes, every time it got shorter I looked radically different, even when finally progressing from no-guard to Mach-3.
So I know it’s a big step but it’s nothing to dread. I just don’t get how people can be so invested in their hair as part of who they are, but maybe my mane just wasn’t luxurious enough to become so enamoured with it.
There was a timely article from the Guardian today that kind of sums up my sentiments too:

Let’s get one thing straight, without Yul Brynner there could never have been a post-Moonlighting Bruce Willis. At the time of the Magnificent Seven a “bald guy on a horse” was just as controversial as Django. He paved the way.

Ha … I don’t disagree that Yul paved the way … Just that it didn’t resonate with the masses in the 50’s and 60’s - kinda like it didn’t really “work” for Telly in the 70’s
I’m sure the fact that both had the stones, in the appearance obsessed movie/ TV culture, to shave it off and say “F it” probably influenced Bruce … But it can’t be denied - Bruce made it mainstream for white boys.
25 and bald in the 60’s and 70’s was a pussy death sentence for the average joe

Yeah I can’t deny that I’m happy that long hair isn’t the pinnacle of fashion these days.
