Receding/Going grey

[madmondeo]

At what age have men begun suffering from the above?

(Well when i say suffering its not a bad thing! lol)

Many men go bald/grey very early. Phillip Schofield went white in his 20's. My Dad's hair started to recede when he was only in his mid 20's. The best comment for this "problem"? I'm not bald, it's a solar panel for a sex machine! An oldie, but goodie!

All I can say is do both gracefully (maybe if you are young, ie 20's) you could have it professionally dyed if it is grey but once you hit about 40 it would start to look a bit fake. I'd much rather see a bald man than a Donald Trump! I once knew a man who'd have a few strands neatly stuck to his head at the start of the day and by the end it was wrapped around his collar like a scarf - yuck, yuck, yuck.

There is no set answer - both are instigated by hormonal changes, and they vary from person to person.

A man can start to loose his hair in his tweties, or in extreme cases, his late teens, or he can start to thin and / or receeed in his fifties. Similarly, grey hair can start to show in the twenties, or not until the sixties.

Baldness is usually hereditary - but it does not always follow in familes - as in the Suchet brothers. Newsreader John has a full head of hair, his actor brother david is bald.

As someone who is folically challednegd, I must concur with beanebabe, there has never been a better time to be bald - get it cropped and forget about it.

The truth is, women are not so shallow as to judge a man by his hair, and a lot like a bald man.

Be what you are, and feel secretly smug at the 'Trumps' of this world.
