Borderline Norwood Phase 5 Want to grow again...

<< < (6/7) > >>

Razorhead:
@reddog  I let mine grow four weeks and tried doing a fade. The top is so thin in the front. Last time I had hair this long was last January. I really lost a bit of hair this year. I'm definitely a Norwood 5 in hairloss and can see the pattern forming. The other day I was sitting at my desk and noticed I was shedding hair all over my notebook. So yesterday, I went to the barber and had him clipper shave my head. Today, the razor comes out. 

reddog:
Yeah @Razorhead , I think our days of ever growing back hair is probably done. Sure, we can grow it back, but it won't look good. I'm glad we have the option of looking sharp with a shaved head! I don't see the regular group of car show guys all winter, and I thought it would be cool to show up in spring with a full head of hair. They've only known me with a shaved head, and I guess it will stay that way.

It does feel awesome to be shaved smooth again though, welcome back to the brotherhood!

Razorhead:
@reddog agreed. Our hair days are over. I think maybe I can get in one more flattop before it?s too late?.but I realize it is too late. Ha! It would be interesting to see if anyone in your car show group would notice if you grew some hair. I drift back and forth between having some fuzz and a shaved head, mostly shaved, and no one notices. They just think of me as bald.  was at party and a woman loved my shaved head and was amazed at how smooth it was. Next time that happens I will get out a pic of my former self with hair.

Razor X:
When you shave your head while you still have at least some coverage on top, there is a tendency to think that you can always return to that look anytime you want. We forget that the hair continues to thin while it is shaved.  I learned that lesson fairly early on when I tried to grow mine back after about 9 months of daily shaving.  The hair on the sides and back of my head quickly returned but the top did not. There was some peach fuzz left that might have eventually developed into some cosmetically acceptable hair, but I knew that it would take a very long time to reach that point and that the final result would be very sparse, at best.  I haven?t tried since then to grow it back.  We reach a point where we have to accept that staying bald is the only option.

DoberDaddy:
That happened to me.

Shaved first when I was barely thinning in front (almost 30 years ago). Regrew, and started shaving again a couple of years later.

Grew my hair back due to personal trauma about 8 years ago... I was 49, and was a total N6!

Had no idea.
