h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm not a pro or anything, but I'm male and wear my hair long (AND coloured), and experience (and the sight of three younger brothers losing their hair) has taught me that the more you worry about hair-loss, the faster you'll actually lose it. Besides, why worry? Baldies are fashionable now, so if you start losing your hair, just shave it all off...

I agree with keeping it short when you start to lose it. However there is no need to cut it all off. A nice smart short style is just as effective it is bald men who can't acknowledge they are bal that is the problem. The famous Bobby Charlton brush over syndrome is often taken to ridiculous extremes. Short and neat is the way to go and there is no cheap and effective way to limit loss. So live with it and find a woman (or man) who doesn't care about how much hair you have and you are too busy having a good life to worry about the amount of hair you may or may not have on your noggin.

And as FC is constantly reminding me baldness is a wonderful sign of virility. So watch this space....

But not for a few years yet.
