Your Hair

by Ivan Appleton


Here's a tip for the "mature man".

Get your hair cut short!

Some of you may be going thin or bald in your thirties or even twenties. The number one mistake is to try and cover this fact with intricate combing of thin long hairs (ridiculed as a combover").

A combover is obvious to everyone except the man with the combover. And it looks truly awful.

Why does it look awful?

Because it is not only obvious, but it shows that you're trying to conceal the fact you're balding. It shows that you're afraid to be seen for how you really are, you're afraid of your age and you're trying to look younger than you are (but actually end up looking older than you are). It shows you haven't accepted yourself and accepted your age.

All this screams INSECURE! to women.

So get an "honest" haircut. Women value honesty and they value boldness. Be bold, be brave, reveal don't conceal your "flaws".

Don't have a floppy fringe to try to hide the wrinkles on your forehead. Don't dye away the grays. Don't grow the dark bits long over the grays. Don't grow it long over the thinning bits. Don't don't don't! Cut it short and trim. Show you've got the balls to be seen as you really are, rather than a timid guy hiding himself.

How do I know this works?

Experience. I've got a thinning spot at the back/top of my head, a furrowed brow, and grays at the sides. I had it long, then I cut it real short and gelled it down flat/forward in George Clooney style. Suddenly women started taking me seriously. It was that simple.

As an example, go to google image search and look for a French soccer player with the name of "Zidane". See how much hair he has lost (although he's young). See how he's cut it? See how handsome he looks? Now think of the last balding guy with a combover you saw.

You make the choice.

A comb-over or a shaved head isn't the only way to handle a balding head. lol. I wish you guys would stop spouting stuff. lol.

And if you could afford it, get a hair transplant..

Balding sometimes takes a huge blow to a guys self esteem..

Some guys head and face shapes don't really go well with some types of short cuts. It is important to find a good stylist to help you decide what to do with your hair.

Mmm are you certain that is not you primarily taking yourself seriously that caused the change in the reactions you will get?

I'm blessed with thinning hair. Time to get an upmarket-cut, like Style ;)

Here is an article that helped me come to terms with what i will face in the future(Baldness)my hair line is receding now so i am in the process of accepting it, i am 23 and it would be crazy to go through life feeling self concious about being bald, The Style look awaits me i hope i can deal with it when the time comes.

I only stand a 50/50 chance of losing hair later on, but I have to agree with the author of this thread.

Zidane's look is quite good and even though I'm not losing hair yet, I'm considering taking his hair style.

For the guys who are losing their hair my advice..shave it asap and get a tan.

I lost more than 5 years from my life trying all the treatments,spending day after day from morning till i got to sleep with lotions,pills,olive oil,etc etc etc it makes laugh now when i think about it the time,energy i spent in vain.

My self esteem was almost 0...even when i was with one of my best friend i used to wear a baseball cap in his house.

But one day i read a reply from tyler to aceofhearts(masf forum)and it was the turning point then.
I shaved my head,pierce my lip,changed my whole clothes and never look back.(it was hard first years-damn social conditioning(?)but it get easier as the time got by).

ps.sorry 4 my English:o

Oh, come on! Comb overs look great when they're plastered to the top and side of your head with lots of oil. Especially when the part is no more than 1/16" above your ear..........

I'm just gonna find me some of that spray on hair coverup stuff I saw on Ron Popeil's infomercial. In the meantime, I think I'll use some of that grease on my head, that's leftover from my George Foreman grill !!!

Is there a good book for hair styling if you actually still have hair?

I don't really want to shave it off even though I do have some amount of hair loss.
