Yul had it all: charisma, an exotic background, a commanding presence, and, most of all, he was bald. But he wasn’t just bald. He was proud to be bald. Playing cowboys, killer robots, and kings, Yul Brynner had the kind of personality that took over every room he entered.

And he didn’t try to cover his baldness with hairpieces or do-rags. He shoved his baldness right out there for all to see. Case in point: when Brynner was filming The Magnificent Seven, his costar Steve McQueen kept trying to steal every scene by fidgeting and talking over Yul’s lines. Brynner didn’t get mad. Instead, he told McQueen that the next time he pulled a cheap trick to try to steal attention from the other actors, Yul would take off his cowboy hat. At the time, Yul was one of two men who never covered up his baldness (Savalas was the other). It was so rare, and he wore it with such confidence, that if he took off the cowboy hat, everyone else in the scene would basically become invisible. McQueen realized Yul was just wearing the hat as a courtesy to the other actors, and behaved himself for the rest of production. That’s a bold bald man. (FOUNDING FATHER, COMMANDER)

When Star Trek TNG came out, a reporter made something of a fuss about Patrick Stewart being bald. "Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century," was the statement. Gene Roddenberry responded with, "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care." I love that story.


As far as balding.... I have hypothyroidism, and as such I shed. I don't know if I shed more than others, but I certainly notice it. I have always had a LOT of hair, so it's not an issue. But if I went bald? I don't know. I don't look good without hair. I like to think I'd be ok with it, but I know that's not true. I see the Buddhist monks here, all with shaved heads, and I can't help but be glad that I'm not a Buddhist monk.

best,
sunshine

Part of that is because it is down to my butt, and the longer your hair is the thinner it feels... but some of it is hair loss. My hair has always been my crowning glory... all golden and in the sun it looks red, but we age... it thins, it turns gray, it loses its luster. I am over 40, and I fully expect my hair will reflect this sooner or later. I would rather it be later...lol. If I went bald I would probably do something to disguise it. But if I just went thinner and thinner, probably not. My hair is also very wavy, so it will most likely retain the illusion of volume even if I do not really have it.


The older I get, the more attractive men with little hair are. I do not know if it is because I am getting older, or I am just appreciating the beauty I should have seen all along. They did a study on people as they age.... surprisingly both men and women gravitated towards people within 4 yrs either side of their own age... 4 years older or younger. I thought men would still express interest in younger women, but the study found when the question was "Who could you see yourself in a relationship", well we tend to be attracted to people our own age.... When I was young, bald men were not appealing to me because I associated that with being "old", but they have grown on me like fine wine...

Then start at the feet and go as far up as possible.
And then ... take care of possible.

I am bald. No two ways about it-- and I just shave the whole head with electric clippers a couple of times a month.  It was really devastating for me to lose my hair--I had beautiful hair (big heavy metal hair) for years....and then a big mohawk...my hair was a part of my identity, so losing it was tough.  And.... thanks to men with gorgeous hair like our Nocturnal Stalker....I felt very insecure about my sex appeal when I went bald.

Transplants are very expensive....some look incredibly artificial...and there are no guarantees they will last or look good.  So I'll stick with clippers.  I have lots of friends who swear by rogaine, but I think for me that horse left the barn a long, long time ago.

It's really nice to read that there are women who find bald men attractive. Gives me hope!

Status: offline 		I'm going to return to the OP - and answer a bit seriously about men.

Realistically, men are men. Like all people, their bodies change over time. Women's boobs fall, our asses sag, and sometimes we even lose our own hair. We wrinkle, our eyesight fails, the hair turns grey, and we get bags under our eyes and liver spots on our skin. For some men losing their hair is a part of the natural aging process.

The question really is not about how chrome-y their heads become but how shallow am I? Do I truly think that the man I love will stop being the man he is if he loses his hair? Do I think he will stop having the morals he has, the personality he has, the decency he has? Will he become a man I don't love anymore?

So, am I a person who loves in a way that would disrespect the man that I love simply because his appearance changes a bit?

That is the essence of the question as I see it. It's not about him. It's about me and my way of loving.

best,
sunshine

Status: offline 		I've had a lot of fun with my hair. I dyed it all sorts of colors in my tweens, shaved it all off when I was thirteen, then promptly grew it out until it went all the way down my back.

Unfortunately, during that early-teenage period I used to tie it back very tight in a pony-tail 99% of the time... big mistake! It resulted in my hairline retreating about a centimeter over a couple years and leaving it a little thin around the edges. That prompted me to cut it again, but thankfully no change since then.

However, most of the men in my family start to lose their hair by their late forties, early fifties and I know some day my hairline will be on the move once more. For all that - I'm not worried! Hair, especially long hair like my bf currently likes, is a pain to look after and gets sweaty and unpleasant in the heat. One thing I noticed when I was thirteen was just how great no hair felt.

I figure once my hairline moves to a place where I find it aesthetically unpleasing, I'll shave it off and wear wigs for the times my bf wants long trailing locks, and be a chrome-dome for the every-day wear of every-day life.

Having seem some really horrific surgery scars as a result of transplant attempts, I have zero interest in any of that.

Think of this " I am a Dowd".

This being, when an alien race attacked and wound up killing his Wife, destroyed ALL OF THEM. Picard said "We have no court to judge you". The character seemed to have some serious remorse and it seemed like he would have liked to submit himself to "our" justice.

Remember in Dune ? "Any one of us could destroy all of you".

All this is interesting shit, to me at least. And you know why ? If presented right is makes you realize that every answer begets more questions.

Status: offline 		My hairline has been receding for years, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Its never bothered me much, its just the way it goes. I would never consider implants or Rogaine or other treatments, money for nothing if you ask me.

As far as shaving it off, well I've done that before. I tend to let it grow for 5 or 6 years, shave it off and wear it short for a while and then stop cutting it. I've been told I actually look better bald, but I like my hair long...always have. Anyhooo, no I don't think I'd shave it in order to "cover" thinning hair, I'm just not that vain. I am the way I am, and I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks.

That said, that's highly unlikely to ever happen to me! :D

Everyone knows that for some people, balding is part of aging. If it happens to you or has happened, would you have hair transplant surgery to fix it? If not, why?


"Not". Because I will never go bald.

It's a genetic "win" that has been bequeathed to me by my grandfathers.

Thus I mock slap-heads whenever I can, with a clear conscience.

But, if the worst were to happen, I wouldn't fight it. "Bald with dignity" is slightly tragic.

"Bald and fighting it" is just laughable.
