I'm 68. My hair is white and has thinned a bit. Am I sensitive about my hair? I defer to the logic of Popeye: I yam what I yam. So, no. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

I would never do a combover it’s been suggested. F that! My only issue is I don’t like to wear a hat. Sunburn hurts! My spine Dr went from salt and pepper to shoe polish black between visits.

I would have been torqued that he spray painted your hair without saying so beforehand. I had my hair dyed with my wife's advice when I started greying for work viability reasons. Once I stopped working, I stopped having my hair dyed. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I still have a full head of hair, but I started to gray in my mid thirties, just like my father. I actually dyed it for a few years in my early 40s, but stopped because I realized it was ridiculous. I'm in my early 60s now and my hair is gray/white. Given a choice between thinning or gray, I'll definitely take the latter.

I'm 75.5 and still have a full head of hair, just slightly gray at the temples. But my goatee is snow white. I guess I'm just gonna stay two-toned. I prefer a short (buzzed) haircut, but the wife likes it longer, so I am growing it out simply to please her. Bob | |||

Saw a guy the other day with a toupee that was so bad it would have only been more obvious if it had a chin strap. _____________________________________________ I may be a bad person, but at least I use my turn signal. | |||

I have a scar across the top of my head from ear to ear from a brain tumor removed almost 10 years ago. Buzzcut every couple weeks to keep the mop tamed & I'm good to go. I was at the dentist & they were pushing whitening & 'fixing' my bottom teeth because I 'was an excellent candidate for success'. I ask - would that take the focus off the scar on my head?

I'd like to think it wouldn't bother me, but I take after the men on my mom's side of my family. My maternal grandfather didn't get any gray until he was in his 70s. I'm 63 and have a full head of hair with no gray in it at all. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Heck my hair was receding when I has in high school. No more mild widows peak hair line. By my mid twenties I was bald up top with a monk's ring around the back from ear to ear. Teased barbers that with only a half head of hair they should cut me a price break. Some I asked if they had carnauba wax for a buff job up top. hehehehehehehehehehe So no, never sensitive. Collected jokes about being bald. And yes, my S2000's license plate reads "BALD 1" Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

My hairline started receding in the late 90's and by 1997-1998 or so I was trying the whole George Clooney "Caesar" haircut look but around 2002 I finally said "screw this" and started shaving my head clean and have done so ever since. I look at all the guys who are trying desperately to hang onto what's left with ridiculous comb-overs with sadness and amusement. This is my mantra HAHA (but with a short beard and not just goatee): | |||

Aglifter, cool story, bro. But... if you're gonna tell, you'd might as well show.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I've always said that I would rather it turn gray than turn loose . I'm all gray now . Thinning just a little bit though . | |||

Still finding my way |
Hair's gone and beard's staring to sprout grey. I don't care and won't hide it. I earned those greys. Besides that I feel a man shouldn't be so concerned over that kind of false vanity. Hiding who you are isn't a good trait. | |||

There was a guy in my church that did a swirl. He grew it long it the back and combed it around his head counter clockwise. Lol. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I started to develop the Friar Tuck pattern years ago and said at the time that if they had the decency to stick around that the hairs could be any color they chose. Very few took me up on the offer and it just started to look like I was clinging to hopes that it might return. I shaved it about five years ago and never looked back. My goatee is silver and I'm good with it. Just about every guy on my Dad's side of the family has the same outcome to one degree or another. ___________________________ "Opinions vary" -Dalton | |||

A bald friend used to say... "I was born blond then it turned brown then it turned gray then it turned loose" No way dude should have put any crap in your hair without asking. Collecting dust. | |||

Mine is pretty gray, but I wear it in a crew cut, so I look more bald than gray. But some men are. My great grandfather apparently had a head of wavy dark hair even when he was getting well past the age most get gray. Then he got sick and went into a hospital, where he stayed until he eventually died. In the intervening four or five weeks, everyone, even my great-grandmother, was very surprised to learn that he had been having his hair dyed at the barber's for years, and he was actually quite gray.

I buzz mine once a week whether it needs it or not, half bald anyways and never really gave a shit one way or another. It’s mostly gray now anyways. Can’t believe how much money I’ve saved not giving a shit…. | |||

Pop died at 72 with a full head of light gray hair. I'm 76 and have the same.i will say it looks good when I wear a light blue shirt. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||
