    I'm hoping to God I have my dads hair in his late 60s. Full set of hair. I tried it buzzed and I looked like a *kitten*.

    To the OP, looks great I'm envious.

    Thanks. I have heard that you should look at your maternal grandfather as the guide for your potential hair pattern. That is where the genes most commonly come from or something.

    If that is true, I'm worried. He was balled by his late 50s. Gulp. My dad, and my grandpa from my dads side had long hair till his 70s(when he passed away.)

    Doesn't help that I have a mole on the back of my head, which is about 80% of the reason why I don't want to go bald when I'm young. Too self conscience about it. :laugh:

    So I have been aware of my hair getting pretty thin for a few years. I'm 30 now and it's receding a lot on my forehead and starting to thin at my crown. Here are a couple of photos (literally just took these):

    For a while now I've struggled to do anything with my hair that doesn't look either thinning or like I'm trying too hard to hide it. I've had a look on some forums and they suggest that a buzz cut or even shaved head might be worth a try but obviously it's a bit of a big step!
    It can look pretty great, thinking of Jason Statham, but let's be realistic here. Do you think it would suit me? Are there any ways to get an idea of the shape of your head other than just going for it?

    Buzz it. I have been in the same boat for years. It is less noticeable when buzzed. I have been waiting for it to get thin enough so I can shave it bald. Wife hates that idea so I am waiting till she can't argue the point.

    I've struggled with the same question. I am thinking a buzz is the way to go based on these comments

    Never hide it, always embrace it. Cut it short, or shave it off.

    As a cosmetologist, I must say men have come a long way! The discussions were insightful and eyeopening. My husband always likes his hair like that as does my son. I love yours short...you look more mature and it suits you. BRAVO!!

    You looked great before as you do now! The buzz cut suits you. You don't have to shave all of your hair off.

    I was here to vote buzz, so I'm glad that's the way you went. You look terrific! When a guy starts to lose his hair, the only dignified thing to do is take it short (or shaved). It's hot to be who you are with no apologies.
