I like Mason’s (“67 guy”) ice cream hairstyle/haircut. I thought that was called Wings but ice cream hair was new to me

Maybe a little more understated/less flare-outey but thr general form I am envious of

Very fun and elegant in its own way. Super quirky

    Nice, I’m glad it all balanced out in the end. I like when people are able to find and exploit the value in obstacles rather then be tyrannized by the things they cant control

      I’ve told a lot of people that going bald is a horrendous torture, but being bald is completely fine. If it happened all at one and you woke up bald, it would be a terrible day but then you’d adjust and be fine. Instead it happens little by little. You keep having to adjust to a new reality every week/month/year. The you that you see in the mirror doesn’t match your self image, and that’s really disconcerting. Once it levels off, and your self image matches, it’s fine.

          My dad was bald, so I knew there was a good chance it would happen to me. When I realized that as a teen, I found myself looking at bald guys and what looked good or bad. Comb-overs look bad. Bald on top with long hair looks bad. My dad wore a toupee (a good one), and it actually looked fine, but he was tied to it; he never wanted anyone to see him without it, and he had to wear the hair hat even when it was hot. The rogain type stuff was new when I was going bald, but I didn’t trust a brand new drug, and I read that you had to take it forever or you’d lose whatever gains it provided.

          In the end I decided that the only things that looked good were cutting it short or shaving it off. I tried shaving it once and didn’t think it suited me, so I’ve just kept it short. Admittedly I had a period early on where I should have cut it shorter but was still holding on to a an old look even though it wasn’t working.
