Subject: Balding

Sup, older members of the Flood, how do you cope with balding in its early stages? I got a good look behind me and I'm starting to bald. I never asked for this.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Once you get to the George Costanza point (or the boss from Dilbert, or Larry from the 3 Stooges) it's time to shave it.

My signature is rather loopy and elegant... I don't see a way to replicate this in text form. Do italics work? Yes, they do

How old are you exactly?

Not that old, 19.

I'm not balding on top, but more receding on my hair line. I really don't care to be honest, you're obviously not the only guy this happens to. Why does it honestly matter? It's not like your balding is connected to chemo therapy, is it?

Think who's got it worse for a moment then reconsider how bad your balding really is.

Mine started at around 22.

Hopefully you have a dome that looks good uncovered. Lumpy heads on bald guys is a bad combo.

I lost my mind once and bic'd my head with a regular razor, flawlessly. But how well do the rollers work?

Well, cancer always sucks(actually, an old teacher of mine is going back to check to see if her cancer is still in remission today), with or without chemo. This is more of a matter of genetics, it just really stinks having a once thick head of hair to having it recede slowly... in front of your eyes.... everyday.

Honestly, I don't use them myself, I use a facial razor and just "keep going". But I am told that the headblades are very friendly for folks who are uncomfortable using a handled razor on their head or the back of their head.

I'm 26 and my hair is as thick as ever. I may have crazy body hair that requires constant upkeep but that I can deal with. So thanks, Italian genes.

  • 01.04.2013 12:22 PM PDT

Now let's get down to business, I don't got no time to play around, what is this?

I'm pretty sure there's some shampoo or lotion type stuff you can use that makes the hair grow back, or makes the hair you do have thicker to hide the patch. 19 is young to be going bald, damn.

Do most men bald completely? Or do some guys only lose hair to a certain point? My dad started to lose his hair around 35. He's 52 now and he's about at the same point (a little bald spot on the crown)

Eh, I go down south like that so it's no big deal on the top of my head. Ain't my first rodeo.

Yeah, I know. I have to move my hair around in a particular way otherwise it looks off... I've already been born with fair hair that thinning out, it's less about "Why me?" and more about just learning to accept what it is that comprises you.

Growing my beard out I learned I'm Irish, as I have red hairs in my facial hair. Life's not fair, but it's silly to let that get the best of you.

Naturally, it just hit me hard today because someone got a photo with the back of my head visible, didn't really help I haven't had a haircut in awhile. The world goes on I guess, right?

shave it all off and get a sharp black suit and a red tie

And get a barcode tattooed on the back of your neck.

Oh, this is your realization then. Certainly, the world goes on and you grow older and change. Don't be afraid to, it's unfortunate when people like staying where they are out of fear.

Funny thing is that I have all these things, and I'm getting fit...

  • 01.04.2013 12:33 PM PDT

Honestly, I would pay tons of money to have a doctor pull out all of my ass hairs and place them on my head before going bald.

After I wash my ass, of course...

My tats look better on me now than they did some weight ago. Just don't be entirely pale if you are bald, sunlight is a glorious thing.

I have awesome skin tone. Not too tan and not too pale. Sort of took a break from bnet and many other places and got myself into a better state of health. Not stopping now or never, my friend.
