short hair really does look better....

[jeffsss]

I know it's been said before.. but i thought i'd start a thread about it..
this is from many observations and personal experience.
I work in retail, so i see A LOT of people.. people who try to hair their thinning hair or comb it over look absolutly retarded. they're not fooling anyone.
I'm starting to accept my hair loss. I did what everyone else probabaly did at first.. (grew it longer, avoided hair cuts) then i realized that it's going to look horrible and people are going to notice when it gets bad.

I decided to cut it short again. .no it's not the hairstyle i wanted (spikey) but it's nice to know that it'll be a gradual change to a buzz cut...

and this is really a serious matter if your under the age of say... 40.. you do not want a ridiculous comb over.

Yáñez says his theory explains why baldness is more common in men than in women. "Nature provides both sexes with the capacity to have long hair," he points out. And people with thick or curly hair have especially good sebum elimination: "This explains why certain ethnicities or cultures, such as Native Americans, Rastafarians, Gypsies, etc do not suffer from common baldness." Furthermore, "many people affected by common baldness have noted that they started to suffer from it during military service. The difference in hair length is the key. Military people, skinheads and others wear their hair short and therefore they can induce problems with sebum flow."

Yáñez says he is "aware that this thought-provoking theory will give rise [to] a lot of scepticism".

The reason I bring this up is because all through my teens and twenties I wore my hair long. I didn't start receding until my thirties when I started wearing a more "respectable" haircut.

Did I mention, I'm also more uptight and cynical in my thirties. Maybe that's the reason.

Maybe male pattern baldness is a condition, not neurosis or whatever else you want to attribute to it.
