Bald or Gray?

Whatever you do, don't buy the "hair in a can" stuff from Toppix. It doesn't work and is not worth the endless ridicule/laughter from friends and family.

 

Now you're going to have to rock it and make sure to include a pic. Need the laughter worse than you'll ever know.

My stepfather has been doing this for a long time. I've known him for only the last 30 years.

Guess that would be easier. I just know that I'm not going back to needing to march to the barber shop every 2-3 weeks. That and I'm going to celebrate the one tiny little advantage I possess in this life.

 

Sadly, when I began to go bald, I decided to go the hair transplant route.

But, because of the overall thinness of the hair on my scalp, the donor areas were quite limited.

So now, if I let my hair grow even the slightest bit, I end up with a mass of unruly curls on top of my head that smells like sea salt and vinegar potato chips.

 

This is like asking someone if he would rather be fat or ugly.

 

I know two people who use that shit, one of whom is an on-air TV guy. It really is awful, like when they spray-paint dirt patches on a football field to make it look like green grass.

What happens on a windy day, do they get a mushroom cloud of dust behind their head?

 

See, to me there's a difference. There's gray, there's silver, and there's white.

I probably do like silver better (Hello, Anderson Cooper). But gray is nice as well.

 

Hair is overrated.

I feel very lucky that at 42, my guys are hanging in there. But its weird to see the blonde go grey around the temples.

 

I'm with ijag and 21. Love grey, silver, white hair on a man. First thing I noticed about JR was his hair which was (and is!) incredibly sexy.

 

At 38, my hair is thinning and graying at the same time. I have zero issue with the gray, but the other ...

On the plus side, I own a lot of hats.

 

Would you rather be kicked in the testes or kneed?

 

No baldness anywhere in my family tree.

Which makes my only choice at age 50 . . .
