Re: Balding in your 50s
Hey FlattopDan, I am or, should I say I was in the same situation, but I'm in my very early 60's. I had my flattop for the better part of the last 25 years. I noticed that the front had thinned significantly and had receded so much that I had rather severe widows peak. Three weeks ago today, I buzzed it down to a #2, didn't like it so I buzzed it to a #1 and still didn't like it. I buzzed it with no attachment but left the blade open, if I'm using the terminology correctly, it's the longest the clippers will cut without an attachment. I liked it and didn't get any negative comments for the week at work. So that brings us to two weeks ago today. My son is a coach for one of the local high school football teams and my wife and I went to his game. The guy that I sat next to had a bald head as did quite a few other guys and they were, for the most part, younger than me. After getting home from the game, I got the clippers out and buzzed my head again, but this time I closed the blade, leaving my head nearly bald. When I got up the next morning, I lathered my head and shaved it. I had the entire next week off work to kind of get used to it. Again, this week at work, there were no negative comments. I did get a few "It looks good" comments. This isn't the first time I've shaved my head, but I've committed to keep it for a year. The longest I've kept it in the past has been a couple of months. So, I figure if I keep it for a year, I'll probably keep it forever. Anyway, as much as I loved my flattop, it got to the point that it didn't look good anymore and it's getting pretty expensive to keep it looking good. I was getting mine cut every 3 weeks, but would have preferred every two weeks. $25 plus tip adds up quick. It doesn't sound like your hairline has receded too much, so enjoy it while you can. What were you thinking of doing if the time comes that you don't think it looks good anymore?  Previous Message
Hello guys,
I’ve recently noticed my hair thinning out at the front and some receding at the temples. Is this normal in your 50s? Not sure what to do about it, any suggestions? Like to keep a flat but it’ll start getting difficult soon

BuzzLife Rules:
This board is designed to be a destination to discuss male haircuts, from buzzcuts, flattops, bald, and more!
By using this, you accept all liability for your posts and their contents. BuzzLife administration and Boardhost accept no liability whatsoever by posts, ideas, opinions, links to external sources, videos, to name a few among the vast amount of content that could be contained in said posts. Therefore, you post it, whatever it may be, you’re responsible for it. Enough said.
Photos, videos, and other content posted should involve men who appear to be of age. Any link/poster that sends images, videos, etc. of those who appear to be below acceptable age will be removed. This results in an instant ban for life
This is designed for male haircutting, and males should be the subject of the haircut. Females should not be the subject of the haircut in posts, photos, and discussions, however, females are free to join and discuss our common interests.
No sexual posts allowed. No political posts allowed.
In terms of common sense, do not post replies to such videos or photos saying things like “sexy handsome man without hair” or “better ####ing shave it next time” or any other suggestive or inappropriate comments. This only does many things. It makes the user remove the video due to being “creeped out” by said comments, look to see where the user found their video (and can see terms searched, such as headshaving, male haircut, and even links from this board). It only brings out a negative view of our community and makes us more noticeable, rather than keeping it quiet. Keeping it quiet is best, it allows us to continue sharing content without people starting to think “will I get creepy people send me stuff”. To sum it up, don’t be a creep on other people’s videos. Saying you look good such as “nice haircut” is acceptable; saying “you look sexy handsome with that new haircut :-*” is unacceptable. I cannot control what you post on other websites, but please keep your true comments to yourself, or as we often see, “This video has been removed by the user” will pop up. Please use proper judgment to keep the videos posted public for all to see and enjoy.
In addition, please try to do your best to provide reference to what content is being presented. The internet is wide, I understand that. But if you are going to post a YouTube link, write a quick thing next to the link (moptop shorn) or reference where you got an image from (i.e., post a link and the image) so we can see it easier if there is problem. Only goes to help us out more!
Be civil on the board. We’re all grown mature (hopefully) men. Let’s keep it mature and civil on here.
Be smart about what you post! If you use proper judgment, it will generally be fine. Just consider these rules before posting.
Any problems and questions, e-mail me at buzzlifeboard@gmail.com
I tried to make these rules fair and understanding. They are only here to make the best for the continuation of our community. Any comments or problems or suggestions, please message me or post here.
