Balding NHL players

[AustonsNostrils]

Yup.
I know lots of guys in their 60's that would hate to be this bald.
Just shave it off Double-Oh-7! You look terrible!

Is this sarcasm? I hope so, if you think that hair for a man in his 60's is 'bald' boy are you in for a surprise as you age.

A small % of men don't have some male pattern baldness as they age, the vast majority of them do.



edit - oh i went back in the thread, Bogs was being sarcastic. If that's my hair at 60 I'm gonna be happy - actually the center section of his hair is way down his forehead, more than mine, but I don't have the island effect .... yet. some guys call the sides that recede the power alleys.



Oh, and it's not just men, check out old women, they don't recede like men they just lose it all over. Many older women have thin hair.

My hair started turning grey at age 20.. I embrace it though, at least I'm not balding!

He looks a bit like Rowan Atkinson with hair.

Max pac might have something to say about this.

For all the early baldies in this thread, at least they don't look like this...

George Harris at 30-31 years old

That's way more than just hair loss though, the guy's face looks like it belongs to someone much much older. If you put your finger over the top of his head, he still looks like a 55 year old man. Poor choice of style sure doesn't help

Omg, yes. I would love to see his baby picture.

Stamkos isn't going bald per say but he's definitely losing it on the sides. I think he should just buzz it.

That looks like a fresh haircut to me..

 

[JadedLeaf]

You can't predict if a person will bald by his hair line today unless you look at his hair line as a kid. Everyone hair line matures a few cm's but any more than that is the start of MPB. Stamkos has a really high hair line but looking at his pictures as a kid, it's hard to tell if there is really that much of a difference.

my maternal grandfather passed at the age of 85 with a full head of black hair. I've been losing mine since I was 25.

You don't look at your mother's father (since she would have gotten the gene from here mother). You look at her brother(s) or her mother's brother(s).

We can talk about this but not Jeff Blashill's voice?

A life partner cares more about your bank account than your hair line
You are welcome

As the bald gene typically comes from the mothers side, people usually look at there grandfather and come to the conclusion on whether or not they'll be bald judging solely on him. Totally disregarding there grandmas side of the family. Every male on my moms dads side is bald, and lost there hair early. But my grandmas family all had very thick hair, I just turned 34 and my hair is still going strong.

 

[Marre]

You do know that blonde people do not get bald early any more often than others, don't you? Just because they often have fine and thin hair doesn't mean they would be bald when 30. Some do get bald, but many blonde pictures in this thread are totally common, not balding, blonde haired people. Most men in my family have been 'balder' than Stamkos all their life and still tend to have that same amount of hair when 60.

Anyhow, what is it with NA and male hair? How on earth can it be so important to you folks?

This thread is gold, have had quite a few giggles. Shattenkirk made me spit out some water

Here's something that has always made me wonder about male balding - i grew up in a small grimy blue collar city, lots of sleazy old fashioned hotels on the main street with beverage rooms in them, the real down n' out men drank in them. So on Saturday when you'd go downtown to shop these drunks would just loiter outside the department store, most wearing caps, but when they'd take their caps off you'd see they all had this greasy thick hair with incredible hairlines for their ages. And when I have lived in bigger cities and go past similar places where drunks are I notice the same thing.

One thing I've considered is that these guys look much older than they really are due to their lifestyle so that's why they have the thick hair. But maybe there's something to do with the alcohol addiction gene and hair loss or maybe alcohol itself has something that protects against hair loss?

Alcoholism certainly didn't help me keep my hair. It's definitely not growing back by drinking either.

My guess its cause they spend their time outside drinking and not washing their hair whit pesticides all the time like we do

No, your grandfather is important in this because your mother gets half her genetic material from him. The reason it's only the maternal grandfather for this gene is because it's passed down on the X chromosome; therefore the only way a male can get it is from the mother, but a female can get it from mother/father/both.

Chronic alcohol abuse does lower your testosterone levels, which could theoretically reduce the effect of DHT on the follicles of men who have a sensitivity to it. I don't know if this is actually the case, but if there is a link between these drunks and their hair density, that's my guess as to why it would be the case.

GOAT Bald head

 

[JetsFan815]

Laine's hair looks better this year than it did last year, maybe declarations in this thread of him "going bald" in 3 years were a bit premature?

Hahaha nice bump. Awesome stuff.

I think I'm gonna try this.

Off to the liquor store!

Brilliant bump. Making people eat crow over hairlines makes me laugh
