My Hair Loss Story
How I Conquered my Hair Loss Problem
My hair loss issues weren't the end of the world for me, but I've always felt a little awkward knowing that there was a two inch hole in the back of my head. Thus, my ball cap kind of became my best friend.
I had gone though quite a few options, combing the longer hair over the bald spot, wearing different hats, different hairstyles, and different hair lengths. Nowadays, I have a buzz cut with my head shaved at the #2 length. The bald spot is still visible, but now it doesn't look like I'm trying to hide it. Although I've become more accepting of it, I still wear a cap most of the time, and when I'm heading out for a social evening, I use a product that is easily applied by shaking a small container of hair fibers over my thin area. This gives the illusion that I have more hair than I really do. Sounds funny, but it really does work.
If you are balding, I encourage you to find your own solution. There are many out there, you just have to find the right one for you.
Hair Styles for Balding Men
This is where my hair style originated from
Many men who are balding are self-conscious and worry that the hair style they currently have is actually a bad hair style. If that's your thinking, you're not far off. A comb-over only emphasizes the areas where your hair is thinning out. Of course, a receding hair line and thinning hair don't offer much in the department of hair styles so this page will offer you fashionable alternatives to those bald hair styles and why they help hide your balding. Once you're done reading this, you'll embrace your thinning hair with a great new bald hair style everyone will love!
Bald Hair Style Option 1:
Short, clean cut. If you leave your hair long in the back or on the sides in the hopes that a comb-over will solve your problem, think again. It only draws more attention to the fact that you are balding. So why not go for a short, clean cut? With this hair style, you can use different products in your hair, such as muds and waxes, to create different styles any day of the week.
Bald Hair Style Option 2:
Grow facial hair. By growing a beard, goatee, or moustache, it will take attention away from your head and people will focus on your new "accessory".
Bald Hair Style Option 3:
Color your hair. It's not just women anymore! The truth is by lightening your natural color, it will reduce the contrast between the hair and the scalp which in turn makes your thinning hair much less noticeable.
(my personal favorite)
Bald Hair Style Option 4:
Shave it off! Vin Diesel does it, so does Michael Chicklis, as does Hector Elizondo. If you don't think using waxes or coloring your hair is you, then simply go bald. This way, everyone will think that you have chosen to have no hair and women find it attractive!
Some men would rather restore their hair loss instead of choosing one of the above mentioned bald hair styles. There are a number of shampoos and creams on the market for hair loss or you can seek out the help of a medical professional and get hair transplants.

- You know, I noticed at a class reunion in Cleveland that lots of my fellow male classmates were in need of a hair loss solution -- do you think something in the Lake Erie water supply? BTW, looking at your picture, you look lots like my brother!

- Hi Johnny,
I am there with not much on top. It has been many years for me and I was ok with it early in my life so I did nothing about it.
This is a great lens, 5*****
