I was born with a full head of dark, curly hair.
In my first decade, my hair grew fast and my mother used to cut my hair with a bowl on my head.
In my second decade, my favored haircuts were crewcuts and flattops.
In my third decade, I was a hippie, grew my hair long, and let my freak flag fly.
In my fourth decade, my thick, wavy hair started to thin out and my forehead got larger.
In my fifth decade, my hair started to turn gray.
In my sixth decade, my combover was suspect.
In my seventh decade, I gave up and started shaving my head.
Note: None of these photos, except the one below, is of the real Fandango.
It is a nice look that you adopted.

I’m waiting for my hair to go grey, but all it does is fall out … an all-over thinning, rather than a pattern … pah!

Nice one! I was a little confused as none of them look alike. I wondered who is the real culprit?!? Lol

I was born with no hair! I’ll probably die with no hair too. Ah well!

I luckily inherited male pattern baldness. I only notice when I use a mirror to look at the back of my head… guess what? I rarely do!!

Is there anything more tragic?

Actually, there a quite a few things more tragic. I may not have my hair, but I have my health and I live comfortably.

It’s a curse many men have to bear. But not they have the option of getting a transplant.

The first time I looked through this post, I started at the bottom and almost absentmindedly scrolled up. Laughed with the last (top) picture. (I was born with a lot of dark hair; there’s a story told that my mom was asked if it tickled.) Then, I scrolled the other way and laughed when I got to the last picture. Are we to guess which of these are really you? Of course, the one of the baby can’t be, even though the eyes are the right color.

Why did you start at the bottom? 😏

It was happenstance. I had clicked to go to your site (on my iPad), and then I got a call [answered on my phone] and was distracted. I guess I bumped the screen.

Is that a thing to shave his head? I thought at first it was a kid’s toy tractor. 😬
There are many advantages: the money saved on products and never having to visit a barber for two.

Yes, it is, indeed, a device designed for shaving one’s head, but I use an electric beard and hair trimmer for time. And yes, no hassle with barbers. But I do still shampoo my head.

I generally think balding doesn’t go well with long hair or an odd combover. But simply embracing what is [which I’m implying involves at least short hair (of what hair there is), if not shaving… which is good too… if necessary] works out fine.

My husband is going through the balding thing. He has thin (fine) hair and it won’t look good if he tries a comb over. He hasn’t been able to get to a barber because of COVID, so he’s looking a little shaggy right now. Neither he nor I care about his growing bald spot (so he says).

I KNEW those photos weren’t of you, because the eye color kept changing.. I don’t know what your actual eye color IS, but doubted that you had blue eyes as a baby, hazel eyes as a child, brown eyes as an adult hippie and then back to varying shades of blue… nah. It sounds as if you’ve done the sensible thing with the ‘bald’ look (if you truly shave your head now). It might be a bit high maintenance, but it beats the comb-over. NOBODY is fooled by that anyway. And there is something worse (IMHO) than male pattern baldness…it’s when a mature woman gets that horrid phenomenon visited on HER. I’d look really REALLY strange with a shaved head..but sometimes it’s tempting.

I see nothing wrong with a bald head. However when I had one during chemo, I did cover it to try to put others at ease. The combover fools no one. And as always your “real” photo … what a dapper Dan!
