7. bald is beautiful!
and between shaving my own head and not having bought shampoo in about 3 years (soap works fine, thank you very much), its cost effective.....and the lady loves it!

11. Let it grow and pull it back in a tail
Well, that's what I did, but mostly because I was too lazy and cheap to pay someone to cut something that was mostly not there. And I can't shave.

12. Keep the rest of it short (i.e. buzzed)
Combovers are a no-no.

13. How go grow instant hair
Take a 2 foot by 2 foot piece of cardboard, and cut a hole in it big just big enough so it fits over your head. Take a can of spray paint tht closest resembles your hair and spray it on the bald spot.

Eureka! You know look like you have hair.

NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SCREW UP AND HARM YOURSELF OR MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A GOON!

:P

19. Am I the only one that thinks shaved heads are vain as hell?
And, for the record, not every balding head looks good shaved. Some folk look rather grotesque shaved.

22. that's an awful broad brush there
I shave my head for medical reasons. To be honest, I wish I would go bald, but it's not likely to happen. The men in my family tend to keep their hair. My dad's approaching 65, and is just starting to thin a little.

Luckily, I do look good shaved. Why is it any more vain than any other hair cut? I haven't paid anyone to cut my hair in years, after all.

25. I don't really,

27. Whatever works for their head
and the type of balding they've got. A man whose forehead is expanding often looks fine with a ponytail. A man with male pattern baldness usually looks bizarre with long hair (often looks too much like a monk's tonsure); they often look best with their hair kept fairly short. If the balding is patchy, then shaving it might be the best solution.

What doesn't work is fakery - toupees, spray-on hair, combovers. No one is fooled and you've spent a great deal of time and money making yourself look peculiar. I have yet to meet a woman who was as concerned about her husband or boyfriend balding as he was. It's what men do instead of worrying about how they look in a bikini, I suppose.

There's no one solution that works for every balding man.

32. Anything but a rug
Ray Charles could've spotted most of those birds' nests that guys are walking around with!

Five Greasy Pieces
Bad hair is not a revenge move. That's why characters on The Sopranos generally bump off their enemies with handguns or blunt objects -- they don't make them stare for hours at men in toupees. Like your boyfriend's hair mistake-over, the toupee is proof of a common blind spot in heterosexual men: the inability to see reality, as perceived by the rest of humanity, while looking directly into the mirror. A man sporting a head-rug is under the impression he's hiding hair loss. Of course, he could be running down the street, naked and on fire, and it's the first thing anybody would see: "Mommy, Mommy, look at that man with the dead ferret where his hair should be!""
