Gah! Panic attack!

[Adrian Foley]

I've been finding an increasing amount of gray hairs lately - two just today, actually.

I'm worried it'll all be like that by the time I'm 20!

I realize some of you are probably on the larger end of the age spectrum, but have any of you had to deal with premature color-loss (or balding for you men out there)?

Once I start going bald Im shaving it all off

Re: Gah! Panic attack!

That's kind of what I did. I'm letting it kind of grow back now, and it looks strange. I'm gonna take the razor to it again soon.

I've found gray hair here and there, too.

I feel like Old Snake. My body is rapidly aging.

I would love to have grey hair.

Like Anderson Cooper.

Yeah, I BEGAN to lose my hair sophomore year of high school, and by my first year of college, I was JUST starting a bit of a comb-over, which, not coincidentally, made me the designated alcohol-purchaser on my dorm floor. Beginning of sophomore year, I decided to shave it all off. I had never done so before, and this was back in 1990/1991 or so, before shaved heads on men became fairly commonplace, so I was very nervous doing it. I didn't have clippers, so I used a few disposable safety razors. Took me about 3 hours to do it by myself in the dorm bathroom, and I was putting the finishing touches on at about 4:30 in the morning when I heard the door open. I anxiously awaited the first person to comment on my newly shorn head, but the guy who walked in was blind. Talk about irony. I ended up wearing a baseball cap for the next few weeks, anyway.


Also, the job I had at Arby's in the mall between senior year of high school and freshman year of college, I worked with an Indian guy who was only a year older than me (I was 17 at the time), and he had a full head of gray hair.


And yeah, if you wanna see the before and after (meaning, with hair in college and now), it's in a post I made toward the end of the Beauty Contest thread.

Ohhh, I saw that!

Well that makes me feel a little less alone, except I have more than enough hair to spare me.

Re: Gah! Panic attack!

Well, so do I....just not on my head.


If I could somehow harness the follicle power on my arms and chest, and transmogrify it to my bald pate, I could come away in less than 4 months looking like a guy from a Swedish metal band.

Like Anderson Cooper.

At least he's got a full head of hair.

Re: Gah! Panic attack!

started losing hair at 19. didnt become noticable until around 24, then I shaved it all off.

it made me pretty depressed to lose my hair, because I went from having hair around a foot long to absolutely nothing.

but I still have my mighty beard.

Beards make up for everything.

Have you ever seen those contests where people grow their beards really long and then.. sculpt them?

Re: Gah! Panic attack!

I've been doing fine in the hair department. I've been told I look like Maynard a few times.....:<

Going by family jeans, my hair will either thin a bit, or I'll have a large bald spot on the crest of my head. You know the kind.

My beard can't make up for it though. It just grows in all patchy.

The only Maynard I can think of is Ferguson..

Also, do you pass these pantaloons down through the generations?

Yes. Along with stomach problems, thyroid problems and old age diabeetus.
