Hmmm…

Matt has worked at DQ for a few months.
-
Matt’s hair is dropping out.
Query: is there a connection?
Sorry dude, been there done that.
Whatever you do, a comb over is the dumbest looking device in the history of human kind. Don’t kid yourself.
Hey, matt, it’s no thang. Really!
Mr. Silky started losing hair (lots of it) before he was twenty years old. He was completely bald on top (he had what he referred to as "the Bozo 'do) before he was thirty. Way before.
Several months ago he said to hell with it and went for the razor. [sub]No, not to his throat…his scalp![/sub]
He looks really great and insists he gets flirted with five times more than he ever did before. Only griping he does now is having to shave his head to give it that shiny, baby-butt-slick gleam that he craves.
No pain, no gain. 
Yup. Worried about that. Will see the doctor.
I’ll send you my hair. I hate my hair and would love it if it would start falling out. The only reason I don’t shave it all off is because it would grow back. Unfortunately there is no history of baldness in my family, so I’ll be stuck with this crap for all my life, I fear.
The vice principal of my middle school had the most horrific combover I have ever seen in my life. Three big chunks across his head. shudder Please please please please please, men, don’t ever even THINK about doing a combover. Ewwww.
I’ll echo: bald can be sexy. My mom has a huge thing for Patrick Stewart. I must admit, he’s not bad. He looks better bald than with hair.
I wonder if stress had anything to do with his hair falling out. Lord knows the jerks at my school provided enough of it for the administration…
I meant the vice principal’s hair, not Patrick Stewart’s, of course.
I think if matt was to go for the bald thing with a little scruffy beard, like Moby, that would be cute. I love Moby. That crazy guy. Or you could go completely hairless and make your complexion really pale and be Billy Corgan. Keeping up with the musician trend, you could grow what hair you have left really long like Michael Bolton (“I’m not bald, I swear! Look at the long, luxurious locks I have!” he seems to say.)
My best friend Hamish tells me that my hair isn’t thinning and I’m just being paranoid. It’s entirely possible. anyway, i hope he’s right.
Take a look at your mothers father’s hair. That should give you a clue as to what to expect, I guess, right?
I guess I don’t understand the trauma of men losing their hair. It’s just hair… My husband frets all the time about it, and I know he’s losing it and soon he’ll look like his dad. Honestly, I don’t care - it’s just hair!! I really don’t get it…
And another vote against comb-overs. I sang in a choir whose leader had a terrible, stiff, unconvincing comb-over. When he was conducting a particularly enthusiastic piece and he was really energetic about it, that hunk of hair would flop up and down. It’s so difficult to sing sacred music while suppressing giggles…
Just remember, matt, we all love you for more than you hairline!
Life sucks, then you die. And, if you believe in reincarnation, then life sucks again.
I have a moderate amount of sympathy for you. My hair started to go gray at twenty. My father’s hair started to go gray at sixteen. His mother’s hair was completely white at eighteen. Granted, you may prefer to have white hair than no hair.
In any case, tell anyone who asks that high levels of testosterone cause baldness. It’s not true, but it’s plausible enough to cause others to shave their heads and apply makeup to hide the stubble
I think thinning hair in front can turn out looking cool with the right combination of elements: First of all you need a perfectly shaped forehead. Comb hair directly back to set off the forehead in its best light. A devilish pair of Gypsy eyes will complement this forehead. Practice a silent, slightly menacing look with a knowing gleam in the eye. Then add a Fu Manchu mustache, perhaps a goatee or beard very neatly trimmed.
This look worked for British adventurer Richard Francis Burton, Russian mystic artist Nicholas Roerich, and Russian dictator Lenin. Not to speak of Fu Manchu himself. Also the one Hun in Mulan who wasn’t big and burly, the slightly built one who was the scariest of all. Projecting that dangerous, mysterious aura can be very sexy.
Well, at least I’m making the best out of my thinning hair and that’s the look I’m aiming at, cultivating my mustache just so. Except that I’m too much of a nice guy to make it convincing. I’d never make it as a Hun.
My maternal grandfather had a full head of hair when he died at 60. I’m getting pretty bald at 29.
So that’s all bollocks then…
“I disagree. I say life sucks, then you get cancer. Then you go into chemotherapy, you lose all your hair and you feel bad about yourself. Then all of a sudden, the cancer goes into remission, you come out, you look good, you feel good, you’re going great. All of a sudden, you have a stroke… you can’t move your right side. And one day you step off the curb at 68th by Lincoln Center and bang! you get hit by a bus, and then - maybe - you die.”

WAAAAHHHHH!
It’s no fun when you see your hair going in your mid-twenties. But I have accepted it-- I think. The counterpart is that it’s really easy to build muscle. Or at least MrsB lies convincingly about my weight-lifting efforts.
FairyChatMom– Would you be happy if you lost your hair? Or your nose? Or something else that you’ve spent all your life getting used to, that’s an integral part of your self-image, and it’s slowly going away?
Oh wait, you’ll eventually have to go through menopause 
Going bald is like an official sign from evolution that I’m no longer even allowed to notice girls that may or may not be of age because I’m too old.
[sub]Not that I would be noticing anyways, but there’s always that dream fantasy unreality, y’know?[/sub]
Happy, no, but I don’t think I’d obsess. About the hair, I mean. I don’t think a nose is in the same category.
As for “the change” - been there, done that, surgically in 1989… HRT is a wonderful thing… 
I have to agree with many others… shave it, man!
I have really thick hair that shows NO sign of thinning ever (Not bragging, just letting you know where I’m coming from… ) and if it DID start thinning, I’d get the razor!
I’d shave my head now (I think it looks cool!), but AG would kill me… she wants me to have LONG hair… but I like it short!! She’s still bit pissed at me after my last haircut a few weeks ago (I made them cut it short!)…
Anyways, shave it, man! For me!
:eek: Shave it??? Have you seen how cute matt looks???
Matt - You need a multi-level approach.

Rogaine[sup]TM[/sup] Industrial Strength - four times a day.

For stress reduction, try killing your boss at DQ.

If you blow-dry your hair, stop doing it.

Ignore the second bullet item.
Hi Matt, I know what you’re going through. Although 26, I definitely start to grow bald. It’s not overly visible yet, but it’s there nonetheless. I started a thread about this a few months ago to ask what, if any, there could be done about it. Several people came with excellent suggestions, including some possible medications. I’ve been trying them out for about four or five weeks now. I started using Rogaine and Propecia and although I still don’t have a full bush of hair yet, I do notice some slight fur coming back. I really hope it will turn out to s full scalp again, but it’s still to early to tell.
Check this thread out, maybe you can use it too.
