Title: Have you forgotten?
Post by: Razor X on November 03, 2008, 08:16:09 PM
How many of you have been shaving for so long that you no longer know how much hair you have left or know what color it is?  I'll bet a lot of guys are a lot balder and greyer than they realize.

I have no idea how much, because I have never gone longer that 2 days between shaves.  But the shadow (or lack of) tells me that what is left is pretty gray.

I don't think I have any more grey but I definitely have less hair.

I actually grew mine in a little bit to see if I was balding or not. I use to have dark brown hair, now there's red in it! and it's showing in my beard too!

Man, that reminded me of the time I had a "growout"(possibly for my wedding, but wife liked me better bald)...and THAT was 8 years ago....

I had about 3 months growth and i was finding my hair at my hairline had changed it's consistancy totally...it was kinda curly and not performing at all...i was going for a spiky, gelled up front faux-flattop looking style...

but couldn't get close!

I'm meant to be bald I guess!  :)

That's a sign that your hairline was starting to recede.  That started happening to me when I was in college; some of the hairs near the hairline would just curl up and wouldn't grow as long as the rest of my hair. I think that's when the follicle is starting to diminish and eventually die.  It doesn't necessarily mean that you're going bald; most guys experience a little recession as they start getting a more "mature" hairline.

Being a BBC, I've still got plenty of hair.  It is turning grey pretty fast.  I can tell by my shadow, that it has receded a little on the top near my temples.

Going to stay sly though no matter what.

While my crown is not smooth-bald, it is not nearly at stubbly as my sides.  Also I see less shadow on the top and crown.  When I did grow out my hair a few years ago, photo and video showed my scalp when I saw the backside of my head.  I am assuming that my head hair is getting grey as my beard is quite grey as you all know.

Lefty,

Until about 2 years ago, I would color my facial hair when I grew a goatee and mustache.  But when the eyebrows went gray, I decided to embrace the gray!

This was taken in July of this year, I shaved in August. The sides were pretty gray then but jeeesh, when I let some stubble grow out the sides look completely white, void of all color. The stubble actually glows in certain lighting.
