For the morons who think that NW0 looks strange on older men...

[Notcoolanymore]

For me, I hate the thought of losing hair because I like being able to style my hair. I like having hair cuts etc.

If you are balding significantly, you lose a lot of styling options (as hair is missing). If you are receeding, again styling options become limited, as the hairline frames your face. At least if you have hair, you have the choice to go bald.

balding sucks, whatever way you look at it.

Those guys who pay top dollar to get a combover is a bit stupid as well. (Hair transplants)

I agree. Once you reach NW2 the only decent options you have are what, maybe a caesar, messy bangs??

[yeahyeahyeah]

Hair loss makes you look older all the way up through the NW scale. I think that is really the biggest downside to MPB and why most men care. I can tell you from experience its the case the majority of the time. A NW 0 makes you look unusually young just because most men do bald as they get older, while balding unusually fast at young age makes you look unusually old.
I think NW 0 looks unusually good its just such a rare sight. How can having too much hair honestly be bad? what are you smoking to think that.

Are hair transplants worth doing.

If you continue to bald, they seem to at best be a short term fix.

We have a patient who is now 60 that's been coming to Dr. Cole since 1998. He had small hair transplant sessions every few years. In 1998 he was a Norwood 5. Now at 60, he appears to have a full head of hair. He had minor hair loss in the back. Men bound toward the Norwood 6 category can get natural looking results in the front that usually hang in there pretty well into moderate old age. Men do experience thinning of transplanted hair in their 60s + but at that age a little hair is better than none IMO. People who care about how they look when they are young, generally do care about how they look when they get older.

When I was 14, I first noticed I had some minor recession. I looked at things a lot different back then. For instance my family watched a popular TV show, The Fugitive, starring David Janssen. As a teenager, he looked bald to me. Some people thought he wore a hairpiece but he didn't.

Jansens hair looks good for a 50 year old. I went for a little more hair than that but I the concept is the same.

I wouldnt want to be a NW 0 if it really exists. I take it women , boys and girls are NW 0 .

I had my transplants to give me back my NW2 . Achieving that goal is good enough. I even had a slight recede on both sides built in just to give it a mature flavor.

Once the density fills in I will be satisfied and move on with my life.

BE RIGHT BACK, just going to watch eraserhead right now.

I made the mistake of seeing that when I was in my twenties. I thought it was a comedy. My friend walked out of the theater about half way through. There's something toxic and disturbing about that film.

I agree!!! Some claim that one of his films can cause some psychological damage.

Tbf David Lynch is one of the strangest directors in Hollywood with or without his hair.

And yes, what BigThinker said.

I would love to have Ronald Reagans juvenile hairline any day of the week.

In my view - a solid head of hair is a +2 to any mans appearance out of ten.

I reckon I scrape a 7.5 at best outta 10 WITH a full head of hair.

Thanks to losing hair, I place myself about a 5-6. I pull off the shaved look to some extent - but I'm just another space monkey then.

Only black men pull of bald in my view. The rest of us end up looking like fugitives, convicts and leukemia patients - unless we dish out on the tan and try to compensate with the muscles/meathead physique route.

Nothing wrong with that, but it's not something I personally have time to invest in. It's also a look not congruent with my ideal vision of myself. I want to be a suave James Bond type, not a gruff bruiser type.

So yeah, if I had Ronald Reagan's hair as a seventy year old, I would be very happy. Do I acknowledge it probably means less when you're that age.

Most likely.

at least Reagen if he really wanted to had the choice of going slick bald by shaving it.
