Going Bald: Good And Bad Grooming IdeasBy Sam Stilson [Grooming]

 Something must just snap the day that most of your hair comes out in the shower. It’s the only thing that can explain some of the counter-balding decisions made by men. Growing the remaining hair on your scalp extra long and wrapping it up in a ponytail won’t trick anyone into thinking you’re not bald. It’s totally overcompensating. “I might not be able to grow hair on the front of my head, but check out how long it is the rear, baby!” This is not sound reasoning. Modern Medicine The only hope for the balding lies in modern medicine and all the tonics and surgery options there are to get hair back on your scalp. While there is surely nothing like Homer Simpson’s miracle hair-restoring tonic from the second season of The Simpsons out there, some of these must work at least to slow the process. Every self-respecting man should explore these options the moment they notice their hair is thinning, but perhaps hair transplants may be going a bit far. Acceptance The best advice that any bald guy can receive is to just relax and accept your fate. Try to slow it down, don’t give up, but if you get to that point where you are bald and you can do nothing about it, just accept it. There are plenty of guys just like you and it’s not as if being bald is equivalent to carrying the Ebola virus. People are used to it; it’s fine. You won’t look as good as you once did and you might end up wearing hats a bit more often, but as long as you keep what’s left of your hair clean and clipped, you will look good. Scary Styling While being bald is something one can get used to, let’s not kid ourselves, male pattern baldness sucks. It’s a scary thought to think that one day the beautiful thick hair on your head may be gone forever. One can only hope that the extra inch of forehead that has appeared in the last few years is only your face growing and not the beginning of the end. |
