Saturday will be almost two weeks of being sly for me. Just yesterday, I was looking at all the people around me that had hair, and I noticed just how much UGLY hair there is out there, even people with full heads. Probably 90 percent of it was just terrible.
Anyone else noticed this?
-
Yes. Hair is overrated.
-
I suppose some people would argue the other way that there a really ugly bald men. It's preference, however baldness is not seen how it used to be. The prouder you are to be bald the better it works. The days of comb overs seem silly now
-
What I find ugly is the desperation evidenced by the clutching onto a dying mop--less and less these days, but each guy I see who could be free and hasn't recognised the benefits is almost fustrating.

I was behind a man today with one of the worst combovers I have seen and I had to stop myself from tapping him on the shoulder and saying 'shave it off'.

I've seen worse. I work in a very large clothing store, and there's this man, who aside from having gone bald, has the sides shaved down with whatever little hair he has remaining practically lacquered on. Ridiculous is not the word.
-
I have notice the same thing and actually have suggested to some men to shave their hair off completely and they will feel a lot better about themselves if they do don't know if they every do though I just can't help when I see someone who does something stupid to hide their baldness and except it for who they are ::)
-
There's a young guy in one of my classes that I assistant teach at the university who is doing the whole combover thing. Looks absolutely awful. He just needs to grow a beard and shave that noggin.
There's another older man I know that has a pretty small fringe left on the sides (Still dark hair), and it grows in all kinds of crazy directions toward the top of it. Looks totally ridiculous... He would look way better sly.
-
This just my opinion but I would tell them to think about going sly and at least try it

It's unusual to see a younger guy with a combover these days.
-
Yes it is but they are out there even though they look older when they do it
-
I see guys everyday who would greatly improve their looks by shaving off their remaining hair rather than trying to disguise their hair-loss with a combover or under a hat or by just wearing a fringe. Unless they ask, my policy is to leave them alone; I think in most cases its best to just set a good example and let my head shine. If I notice someone obviously staring at my head, I might try to start up a conversation about head-shaving with that person especially if he seems like he is interested in shaving.

I couldn't agree more.

Congratulation on the 2 weeks Doc X!
I have a full head of hair and I admit I was running out of ideas to style it (it always had its own will), went sly and I like it better.
Regarding the comb-overs and other strange solutions I think it all depends on the person and how prepared is he to face the truth.

Agree - think of it this way: are you waiting for someone to come up and tell you you'd look better if you changed something about yourself (the way you were dressed, your beard, etc.)? I don't think so.
-
This slyette for one is so very glad that comb over's aren't as popular add they once were. Whew!
-
Yes. Hair is overrated.
Agreed!

Agreed indeed!

I sure do notice. I never say anything, but I want to!
-
I prefer a bald head.. I am way more critical of bad hair now... whether the guy is balding or has a full head of hair.
Also, it has gotten a lot harder for me to understand why a balding guy wouldn't want to improve his look by getting rid of it, or buzzing it way down.
-
I guess I can't be to critical, I did sport one of the worlds worst hair dos! (Pony tail and bald on top!) But it does sometimes amaze me how people can be...
There are some very dodgy haircuts around, but there's more and more sly guys around too... And we know we look sooooo cool! 8)
-
I have had a couple of my friends that are also bald and mention people's bad hair but as I had what I classed as a hair disaster for while I try not to be too critical of other people's 'style'. Not everyone is brave enough to be bald.
-
I've noticed that in the last few years there are more shaved heads. I see guys with bald spots who would be good candidates for shaving their heads.

What gets me (apart from the comb overs) is guys with long hair but are bald on top. I have an acquaintance that I see daily who has this style. He is totally bald on top but has long (past shoulder length) dead straight and very greasy hair, no exaggeration.
I really strive to have an "each to their own" attitude but seeing him frustrates me, I would love him to at least clip it
EDIT: whoops sorry Arty Chris, nothing insulting intended at all. I was only on page one when i wrote my post and didn't see yours till now.
Before I went sly I had a Mohawk but was going bald at the crown eek
-
Couldn't agree more. I'm only a month and a half sly. Whenever I consider having hair again I just have to look at other guys' hair. Most of it is so badly cut or styled that I don't want to look like any of them. I find myself thinking they'd look better shaved. I know I do.
-
When I was a younger lad, I had hair that would go all over the place. People mentioned it looked like I combed it with an egg-beater. That was pretty bad, but at least I started wising up and getting buzz cuts.
I have seen other bad 'dos out there, I think that the worst though would be someone who grows a ponytail just so it is long enough to comb over the entire balding area! Yikes. Scary.
I hope you weren't eating lunch/dinner when you read that! :D
