I started losing my hair at 18. As I watched the strands fall away in my hands during showers I just said F it. I started shaving my head just after my 19th birthday and haven't paid for a haircut in 20 years. I've yet to miss a day obsessing over my hair. Everyone I know now says they can't even imagine me with hair.

It's hilarious to me watching vain men cling to something so insignificant. Out of everything I've lost in my life, the hair on the top of my head isn't anything that has consumed any part of my thought for the same 20 years.

It's all migrated south, anyways.

Some people look good bald. I know I could never pull it off. Thankfully, I don't think I have to worry about it. I am at the age where I think if it was going to happen, it would be showing by now, plus my dad had a full head of hair. I am going grey way too fast for someone my age though.

Its all because of the 5G that Bill Gates put in our chemtrails.

That seems to be the trade-off. Those who keep their hair seem to go completely grey earlier.

In my early 60's now and the front of my scalp is just now starting to thin. Difficult to tell how this will progress as my father, his brothers and his father all were bald as pool cues since their youth. My maternal grandfather had thin hair but was not bald.

If you're into your 40s and not rocking that look what are you doing?
I'm not even 40 yet, but I have become f-cking magnetic since I started getting salt and pepper in my beard and hair (though I occasionally blend out the greys in the hair still). It is unreal how women love it, I don't even get it. I'm like "Ugh, I feel like the grey makes me look older than I am". Meanwhile, women as young as 24 are like "Silver fox? YES DADDY" ... which is another thing that's kinda weird, TBH.

My wife hates it, but I'm trying to amplify the salt and pepper so that certain clients stop looking at me and give me unnecessary grief by questioning things needlessly thinking I'm too young to know #### all.

I want to looks 40s half a decade earlier and look 40s into my 50s. No idea if I can accomplish it, but I'd like to try.
