penultimatestraw 473 Posted May 24, 2018 Not planning to shave it completely bald but, I'm 43, it's thinning. Not in denial there, I keep it short. Cut every 2 weeks. A couple years older than you, but I'm in the same boat. Frequent hair cuts are important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
penultimatestraw 473 Posted May 24, 2018 I still have all my hair thankfully. I cant do it for asthetic reasons. I occasionally get red bumps on my scalp. A psoriasis kind of thing. Id look awful if that happened when I was bald. Fortunately I have very thick hair. I dont see ever having a balding problem. You may be right, but don't count on it. My hair was really thick until late 30's, but didn't thin noticeably until mid-40's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
penultimatestraw 473 Posted May 24, 2018 Damn, I thought I was unique with no grey at 34 At 46 I just noticed a grey scalp hair. Beard has been greying about 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,564 Posted May 24, 2018 At 46 I just noticed a grey scalp hair. Beard has been greying about 5 years. This almost to a word. 46. Beard has been greying about five years. Only difference is I've had ~5 or so total scalp hairs go grey and never more than one at a time. Also you'd mentioned thinning, I haven't experienced any yet.

I would be totally cool with some thinning. Its too thick. Hard to make it not look crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean thouugh. When I got out of the Army I didn't cut my hair for a couple of years. It gave me fits and wouldn't go down, it just kept going out.

vuduchile 1,941 Posted May 25, 2018 54, thinning and receding in front a little, but not bald. If youre ready for a reality check, open your sunroof and take a look in the rear view mirror. Next step is the high and tight cop cut. Maybe 2-3 years away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
