Are You Graying and/or Balding?

  • ernest_t_bass
    How many OC'ers suffer from male pattern baldness, or early graying? I am pretty gray, but it's all hereditary. I think I found my first gray hair when I was a freshman in HS. If I were to let my hair grow out, I'd look pretty peppered, however I keep it short for that reason. As far as balding, I've receded a little, but I think I'm pretty safe on that end.

    No graying. No balding. Not sure when I'll start going gray but the chances of going bald are pretty slim.

    I am balding, but I cut my hair pretty short anyway.

    That's apparently already happened, so...

    On my phone. Wouldn't have voted anyway.

    Hope this helps.

    Thankfully neither. I have glorious hair.

    Do you donate your hair to locks of love?

    Some gray for sure.

    I'm graying and thinning, not balding, yet. But I selected both.

    I cut my hair very short already, so it's not a big deal.

    Not that glorious.

    I have good genes regarding balding, but my dad does have a Ric Flair (happy bday) look going on right now. So I got that going for me.

    I'm bald. The ladies love it. My goatee has a lot of gray in it so I'll be gray soon too.

    Graying (slowly)......technically not balding but definitely have a receding hairline (guess that doesn't really count as balding)

    That's kind of like me. I started seeing a gray hair here or there around college or right after I think. Just for Men takes care of that shit. Way too arrogant to let any signs of aging that I can help from showing up.

    Balding...a bit with a widow's peak showing, but it's hard to tell how much. I have a larger-than-average sized head (must be the arrogance) and when I've seen pics of me in elementary school, there's a LOT of forehead showing when my hair was parted to a side. But I think it's more pronounced now.

    Gray, yes....and considering coloring. Balding, no and if anything I have more hair now than I did when I was 18. Which is why the gray hair is so embarrassing to me.

    Most guys look just fine (or even better) with salt and pepper hair. Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and Patrick Dempsey come to mind. Obviously not everyone is as good looking as those dudes, but normal people can look great with grey hair, IMO.

    I'm going gray on the sides...no sign of balding yet though (thank God). I too keep my hair short to hide it as best I can.

    Started thinning out badly when I was 24 yrs old, pretty well bald on top at this point. I bought a nice set of clippers about 5 years ago, and just cut my hair short every week.

    44 years old and receding very bad! lol I recently had a vocabulary word "recede" and yes it helped the kids remember the meaning! lol My brother is graying but has a full head of hair, mine is thin to about the middle of my head! It sucks!

    Starting to be in the same boat. Receding hairline here, although it came on pretty fast when I was 23-24 and I haven't noticed as much loss over the past couple years. But I just bought clippers and cut it down to #3 so it's even where I got it.

    The 'stache needs touching up now and then (at the wife's request), and there's a bit of gray around the temple. Not bad for mid-50's.

    No baldness at all - my Dad and both grandfathers went to their graves in the early 80's with full heads of hair.
