I guess the stress of life is getting to me

I saw a pic of me holding my baby daughter. It was taken from an above angle, and the results for my lettuce aren’t too good. I’ve always been told by barbers that I have “fine” hair, like that of a baby.

This doesn’t look fine, it looks thinning. I can see too much scalp. I’m on the market after my divorce and want to look my best for the LLot area. Without pulling a Lebron, are there any solutions other than embracing it?

There’s medication that might help, like Propecia. You’ll get a lot of “shave it” answers here too.

It's just hair.

Shave it.

I hear Nutrafol actually works, but it's all your hair, not just on your head. It all gets crazy thick.

Whatever you decide to do, please don't do the dreaded "Combover" and announce to the world you are THAT insecure about going bald.

Correct answer. Started shaving mine at 39 and haven't looked back. So fricking easy and one less thing to think about or care about. I've been told it looks much better than trying to hide thinning hair and if course that is correct.

I honestly wouldn't even want hair again if they invented a cure tomorrow...I've never been happier and I was single when I shaved and met my current wife with my bald head so there's that.....

My brother in law went to Turkey. He has hair now. It just isn't that important to me.

Buzz it off Man, seriously. I buzz mine with a 1/2 guard every 3-4 days.

I started balding young, in my late 20s. Tried propecia, made my dick not work right. Got haircuts specifically to try to hide it for awhile. After maybe 2 years of that I told Mrs. Cotten randomly one evening to buzz it off for me. Never looked back.

I look back at pictures from when I was trying to hide it and just laugh. It looked so terrible and obvious.

THIS. Even If i could have hair I would still shave it. It is so nice not having to worry about that shite anymore. I started shaving mine about four years ago and haven't looked back.

Finally just shaved mine off at 31 and I'm never going back. Everyone else loves how it looks

Don't be one of those dudes that holds on too long. Those of us in the bald community will judge those who don't have the balls to do it.

This is not my head, but it’s a good comp for where I’m at now. Mine might be a little thinner.
