Going bald in your 20s[views:8250][posts:81]_____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:42am - arilliusbm ""] Who here started to bald in their 20s, and what was your solution? a.)shave head b.)who cares c.)rogaine I had a dream last night that as I approach 3-0, i'll be completely bald.. perhaps a haircut like Mr. Townsend. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:47am - DestroyYouAlot ""] A like a motherfucker. Started noticing it at my 24th birthday party (an event chronicled in the For The Worse song "Out Of Control," for you trivia buffs). |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:48am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i got a different haircut to cover it up. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:49am - thedeathdealer ""] Ive been going bald since the 4 grade, so right around when i was 18 I started shaving it. No way would I go for a skullet |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:50am - arilliusbm ""] I have a feeling that now that I'm growing my hair out again, this may be the last. Must enjoy it while I can |
| __________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:57am - RustyPS ""] I'm gonna buy Rogaine sooner or later, but it's fucking expensive. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 11:59am - arilliusbm ""] Somewhat off topic, but Rush's worst song has to do with this. |

| ______________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:02pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I noticed my receding hairline when I was 18 but it never really bothered me that much until now. I'm noticing my hair in general is thinner now, so I'm going to talk to my doctor as soon as my health insurance is in effect again to see what the best bet is. I hate how I look with a shaved head and I like having hair (even if I do like it short), so I'm going with option C or whatever may work better than Rogaine. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:03pm - brian_dc ""] not a single bald dude in my family, other than in-laws. lol @ youz |
| ______________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:04pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I owe my hairline to my mother's side of the family; I think I owe the rest of my head to stress. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:09pm - RustyPS ""] brian_dc said:not a single bald dude in my family, other than in-laws. lol @ youz My family is the exact opposite, my blood relatives on both sides of my family are all bald/balding....sucks EDIT: I should say that I meant all the men...none of the females are bald...lol |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:12pm - boblovesmusic ""] I've notice a bit of receding going on with me, but I'm still going keep my hair long. I'd look really ugly as a bald dude anyways haha. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:21pm - Dankill ""] The gene for male patern baldness actually travels in women. So, regardless of your dad balding or not, go home and blame mom for that one. Mark, you might have some widows peaks going on, but I don't think it's as bad as you think right now. Have you noticed it thinning in any other parts of your head? |

| _________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:23pm - xmikex ""] I'll probably never go bald, but I'm 26 and have more gray hairs than Bea Arthur's bush. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:23pm - arilliusbm ""] My hair is starting to think big time up near my bang hairline. Not so much in the back. I can't wait to become one of those comb-over dudes. Like in Kingpin, but cooler. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:25pm - Martins ""] I have too much hair. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:28pm - metal_church101 ""] Do the comb over and shave your ballz instead. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:31pm - arilliusbm ""] Good one. "My hair is starting to think" - I meant thin. That'd be cool if my hair could think though; maybe then it'd realize it's doing a mistake by thinning up. |

So, regardless of your dad balding or not, go home and blame mom for that one. i've heard that too, but i don't know the validity. my younger brother is starting to show signs of balding, but my hair is as thick as ever at 28. our dad is bald, his father is bald, and his father is bald, but my mom's father has a full head of hair. my brother takes way more from my dad's side than i do, and he is the one that is starting to show signs. my hair hasn't changed at all. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:42pm - arilliusbm ""] haha Punnet Squares. Haven't heard those since freshman year in highschool. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:43pm - Martins ""] I'll learn all about them next year. I can't wait to get my 8th grade diploma. |

Have you noticed it thinning in any other parts of your head? I have indeed sir. A lot of people also go bald because they're not getting enough protein. Something to think about. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 26,2009 12:55pm - Yeti ""] well, there are simple ways to have hot daily protein injections. |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 1:00pm - RichHorror ""] Shaving your head totally makes you look tough so it's cool. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 26,2009 1:08pm - Yeti ""] my parents were the type that until i was like 12 they would force me to have my hair cut as normal as possible, and it always looked like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber, so i grew to hate the look of hair. i shave it due to laziness, i only have to pay attention to it once every few months. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 2:11pm - dreadkill ""] my hair is thick. i'll probably never go bald, but if i did, i'd just shave it. it looks better that way. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 2:12pm - sacreligion ""] was definitely in HS when i started to notice. hoorah for clippers! |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 26,2009 2:23pm - largefreakatzero ""] I'm getting a little thin, but I still have hair. I am old, so it just figures. I'll probably shave it off if it gets worse. |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 12:13pm - Alx_Casket ""] Took a minute last night to admire how my hair is thinning on top. Bald in 3 years or less. I normally wouldn't care, but there are some massive scars on my head that I'd rather not explain every time someone asks. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 1:12pm - Mark_R ""] I love long hair but the way it's going I'll be happy to make it to 30 before I have to cut it off. 35 would be awesome but that's probably too much to ask. :( I don't want to shave my head so I will probably just get a normal-guy haircut at that point. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2011 2:00pm - ark ""] i will never ever worry about going bald. easy for me to say with my full head of hair, but i never understood men who obsess over it. getting old is brutal enough. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2011 2:01pm - ark ""] slag went bald when he was fifteen |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 2:02pm - Alx_Casket ""] My dad and brother were already bald at my age, I'll take this to mean that my body ages slower and I will outlive my grandchildren. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 2:05pm - josh_hates_you ""] Made it to 30. Still have hair. Starting to thin. Ask again when 40. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2011 2:13pm - Lamp ""] My hair is still in tact and not grey at 24. I definitely don't have the right kind of hair for growing it long though. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 2:50pm - Alx_Casket ""] lampfro? |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:01pm - Lamp ""] Hahaha well... This is a picture of me from mid-2007 and I let my hair grow for about six more months after this: [img] |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:03pm - Alx_Casket ""] Oh man, my initial reaction: [img] |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:14pm - largefreakatzero ""] Walked into band practice the other day, and my bandmates were saying how they were looking at old Life at Zero pix and saying "Wow dude, you used to have a lot more hair". Fucking dicks. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:16pm - NuclearWinter ""] If I have but one hair left on my head, it will be long. Bring on the skullet. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:31pm - saxlbeckett ""] I hear a lot of talk from people who have never had an impending skullet. |

This is a picture of me from mid-2007 and I let my hair grow for about six more months after this: [img] I think it's fine in this picture. It looks like you're in the just-starting-to-grow phase. Six additional months was probably not enough time. You likely gained about 3-4 inches in that time, right? (Unless you eat really well or something.) If you gave it a solid year you'd probably like the results. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:40pm - the_reverend ""] I'm working on that skullet @ 36. Andy's got a bandy? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:41pm - the_reverend ""] oh and I'm just starting to get some grays on top. all my hairs have been going "turn gray or fall out" and then they choose to fall out. Unfortunately, you can dye grays, but you can't dye hair back onto your head. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 16,2011 3:53pm - Lamp ""] It's not even really the length that was a big deal, I just have super thick hair and don't like it long anyway... |

This is a pretty funny story though, ha. When I was about 8 or 9, I was just becoming aware of "heavy metal" and "headbanging" and I was trying to do it while sitting in a chair at my kitchen table. I banged my head backwards too hard and the chair fell over backwards, and I conked my head on the floor. no scar though, oops. Also around this age I used to enjoy running up playground slides for whatever reason (excess energy I guess). This one had a metal crossbar across the top of it that I didn't see, and ran full speed into it. Had a huge egg on my head from it (but no scar since it wasn't an actual cut). |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 11:25am - Alx_Casket ""] I wouldn't mind if it was a 3 inch scar, but this is more WTF than "cool scar bro." It's shaped like a reverse question mark, with some extra hole-shaped scars from the hematoma drainage tubes. Shoulda been dead. [img] |

| _________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 11:34am - ThrilliVanilli ""] I have a similar scar. Looks like an upside down L. I got sick of people asking about it, and as it covers the entire right side of my head, covering it isn't an option without long hair. So my receding hair line can suck it. I look like more of a tool with a shaved head. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 12:59pm - Yeti ""] i have a bunch of scars on my head too, but the only one i remember was in 2nd grade i was on a swing, and at it's peak i jumped off and landed directly on my forehead. i stood up and blood was shooting out of a hole like a fountain. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 1:05pm - Sacreligion ""] A+ Yo! Noid reference. |
