To buzz or not to buzz.......

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-22-2010, 08:42 PM

So let's just say that my hair is pretty thin on top. I have the typical hair pattern where I don't have much on top, but do still have hair above the ears and around the back. Thus far I've kept the hair the same length on top as on the sides, but I think that ship may have sailed at this point.

So I'm looking for opinions on how to cut. Should I trim it down to a half inch length all around or just clean it off?

We may need pix please. Hard to call without visual evidence. Anything but the dreaded comb-over probably works.

Philliesfan980 · 11-22-2010, 08:57 PM

I'd say go with the "2" guard all around. Not quite the cue ball look, but it will be short all around, and clean looking.

Go to Bj's and get some generic rogaine for $15 for a four month supply. Don't go down without a fight!

Isn't Propecia supposed to help too? My hair has slowly started to recede and I'm thinking of hitting up my doctor about it.

I think this was a poll about whether you should get your drink on

Go for the Brad Childress look.

Just keep it short and go with dignity.

Easy for me to say, of course, since I have a LUXURIOUS MANE of hair and I'll never have to deal with confidence crusher of losing most of my hair.

Did I say confidence crusher? I meant intriguing plot twist!

Having dealt with this confidence crusher for the better part of 15 years (and that was with BOATLOADS OF CONFIDENCE TO BEGIN WITH), I say buzz it. I use the clippers with no guard, and I am happy content with the results.

As for rogaine, I tried that years ago. Too expensive, didn't do much, and left yellow stains on my pillow covers.

Go cue ball. Everyone gives those guys a little more space for looking like a bouncer.

Critch · 11-23-2010, 06:53 AM

Go cue ball, but check the results before making a long term decision. When I went cue ball my wife told me I looked like I'd escaped from a mental hospital and a random child shouted "skinhead c*nt" at me from a schoolbus.

I wish my hair would fall out. Getting a haircut is probably the least convenient thing I have to do in life.

Head over to ratemyprostitute.com and leave her a bad review. You shouldn't just put up with that.

How do you know the child was random?

That is hilarious.

What does Wade Boggs have to say about all this?

Philliesfan980 · 11-23-2010, 12:56 PM

I'd say the biggest thing about having a short hair cut/bald is really the rest of your physique.

If you're a really skinny, frail looking guy, it probably won't be the best look for you. But if you're pretty athletic, have somewhat of a tan, you can probably pull it off.

So in summary, if you're still looking to keep some of your manhood after losing your hair, start hitting the weights.
