The same woman has been cutting my hair, and my wife's, for about 30 years now. A few years ago while she was cutting my hair, she and my wife were standing behind me talking in hushed tones and trying to look like they weren't giggling. They weren't paying any attention to me, so I surprised them when I asked, "Are you two talking about my bald spot?" The look of shock on their faces was priceless. lolI went to a funeral a while back and my cousin and I sat at he back and while waiting on the service got to counting the balding men's heads ( a family trait). We could never get the same number. After several counts , non the same she looked me in the eye and ask, " you are counting yourself , aren't you ?"

Now, I don't really have a bald spot...not yet, anyway. But it's much thinner than it was when I was younger, right on the "crown" of my head (the typical "male pattern" bald spot). And it was obvious that neither of them thought I knew about it, and neither of them wanted to be the one to tell me. But, hell, I'm 53 years old, I know (a lot of guys who would say I'm lucky to still have most of my hair, and they'd be right. It's just part of getting older, and I don't see any reason to freak out about it. [huh] I've even told both of them to tell me when it gets so thin that it starts to look like I'm growing my hair long to hide it, because that's when I'll start cutting it shorter (if I haven't already).
The gray in my hair is s-l-o-w-l-y catching up to the gray in my beard, and one day I was joking with the woman who cuts my hair about the possibility of dyeing it. She told me, straight out and with all the seriousness she could muster, that if I ever walked in and asked her to dye my hair she would refuse to do it. I laughed and assured her that it would never happen, but had to ask why she was so insistent. Her response, without hesitation, was, "It just wouldn't be you." And she was right.The young female barber that cuts my hair, jokingly said she would kill me if I ever do a comb over! Fortunately, I have no plans do do such a thing.
Of course you don't, it's just that the parting gets a bit wider, that's all!Now, I don't really have a bald spot...not yet, anyway.
My hair's too much of a train wreck for me to even attempt parting it. I just comb it back to keep it off of my face, and hope for the best. lolOf course you don't, it's just that the parting gets a bit wider, that's all!
You sold the kayak?I am into sea kayaking among other things and I was joking about the first kayak I had being so tipsy that I had to part my hair down the middle to stay upright. I had no more finished the the sentence when my younger sister busted out laughing and as she walked away remarked that I had taken care of "that" problem.

As for the comb over, I'd shave my head first.

In my case, even gray facial hair looks better than what's beneath it. lolIf my moustache goes gray---the moustache goes.
Think I would rather be fifty shades of than hirsutely challenged. Just a thought on those silver threads: Does the carpet match the drapes?If my moustache goes gray---the moustache goes.

True. I would rather be gray then bald for sure.
Nothing wrong with bald.
For you not me.
