Maybe I should pose that question in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I started going bald from the front when I was still in my teens, like coastal erosion my hair line was slowly creeping backwards. Luckily I'm an extremely handsome guy who could get away with having a Bobby Charlton comb over if I wanted, however if just been shaving my head since my mid 20s.

Almost got the height right, 5ft 10, slim (apart from my belly), as already stated shaved head, and usually clean shaven, never more than 3 days growth. I can't grow a beard or moustache so just keep it clean. My impression of you is 6ft, average build with a slight belly, dark hair swept back and a roll up always in your mouth, but never actually lit.

Think I’ve heard that somewhere before. I've heard the same and my best mate went bald in his 20s and his father, who is 82, still has a decent head of hair. But I had a look on the web and here is a quote from a website - "Myth: Hair loss is passed down from your mother's side. Not entirely true. While the primary baldness gene is on the X chromosome, which men get only from their mothers, other factors are also in play. The hereditary factor is slightly more dominant on the woman's side, but research suggests that men who have a bald father are more likely to develop male pattern baldness than those who don't." And to add injury to insult baldness increases your chance of heart disease fivefold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been cutting it with a bare beard trimmer for 4 years but if I leave it more then a week between cuts half my head just goes fluffy and looks like a baby ducks arse.
