    Anyone lost their locks at a young age? How did u come to terms with it? Its not gone yet buts its on its way. Really depressing washin your hair and find a clump of it in your hand.

    Don't let it get you down mate. Get it shaved nice and tight. Loads of young men lose all or some of their hair early and it's not an issue.

    I think hair pieces and attempts to hide baldness look dafter than a number 1 all over.

    Fortunately that hasn't happened to me.
    In fact it's quite the opposite - I used to have really blonde fine hair - but now I'm older the thicker I become.
    I'm probably thicker now than I've ever been.

    You lucky sod. Don't hide it, flaunt it.
    All that extra testosterone you've been blessed with. I recommend you get yourself a shitty stick quick to fight 'em off.

    I've been quote lucky thus far. I've got quote thick hair but I do get quite a few greys coming through.

    My uncle lost all his hair at 22. It tore him apart during losing it but once it had all fallen out he actually liked the new look. I wouldn't let it get you down pal, I'd get it shaved off.

    Research shows if you start going bald at your crown you think a lot

    If you start loosing your hair at the forehead then research shows you are good in bed


    That said if you start loosing your hair from all over your head ......THEN


    You think you are good in bed....lol


    Mind you having a full head of hair myself the wife says at 61 I'm very good in bed

    I get in and these days go straight to sleep ....

    There's only one way to come to terms with it and that's clippers. It'll look pretty smart so crack on and whatever you do, don't look back.

    Shaving your head is like ending your boxing career - it may not have lasted as long as you wanted and you may not have achieved all you wanted to do with it. Nevertheless it is the bigger man who can accept that it's over and resist the inevitably I'll-fated comeback.

    It's brilliant. I have mine cut on No. 1. My 'hair' is dry straight out of the shower and I just leave it messy :D

    Mine started going when I was 25. I tried for a few years to "manage" with it but started having the missus shave it off to keep it neat on a number 1 with the electric razor. Now 48 and last year for the first time decided to get the razor on it once a week and go completely bald. You get used to it quite quickly and find that if you miss (currently have 2 weeks growth) it feels really irritating.

    I did grow a beard to compensate though! Upside - save a fortune in shampoo/product.

    Never gone for the complete shave, but like you I now have a beard. I think it makes me look manly (old) and distinguished (decrepit) :)

    It's only the other month that are lass cut mi Bobby Charlton off (that's letting your hair grow long on one side of your head and brushing it over to the other side covering the bold bit in the middle) the old footballer Bobby Charlton used to have one. I could have killed her had it for 30 years ,needless to say im growing it back :)

    Don't miss my hair 1 little bit. No need for comb, shampoo, or having to go to the barbers. Take the clippers right over my head once a week.

    And cold days? Well this why someone invented a wooly hat.
