Balding NHL players

[Pyrophorus]

Lots of confusion between mature hairline and baldness, a formin widows peak means nothing if the rest of your hair is thick, the signs to look for is when the hair is thinning in the temple, like shattenkirk and Kane, Matthews just have a high hairline

I can see it being AM34, Willy would be a tragedy.

Ryan Getzlaf's hair loss was just ridiculous.

Some people it goes really fast. Most of the time even for guys who start in the classic 18-28 period it’s a 10 year process at least. The general rule is the earlier it starts the worse it gets but there are some well known people who started late and went severely bald. Billy Joel and Peter Gabriel are two real good examples of that.

Luckily for both they had the necessary funicular ability to compensate for it by wearing beards.....

If Lindros can fix his hair they all can.

The second picture of Lindros looks a lot like David Denman (the actor who played Roy Anderson in The Office).

Patrick Kane needs to get ahold of Lindros and ask him how lol

Must suck for people to go bald in their 20's.

Not really. Saves thousands of dollars over a lifetime in haircuts/product and thousands of hours of grooming.

What an odd thread.

I think fans care more about players’ hair then the players themselves.

I'm sure Brock Boeser doesn't even look at his hair in the mirror. He just wakes up and it looks like this.

 

[Fixxer]

A bit creeper, but I googled Matthews hairline and found a pic of him when he was a kid. He's had the same hairline when he was a kid. He has a big forehead, but I dont think he's balding.

Exactly. I've never seen him as balding, just has a large forehead. Reminds me of a guy I know who has a similar hairline.

 

[Riddum]

By that logic just about every baseball player would be then

To be fair, he said "Old School Barber".

Balding is mostly genetics but can be caused by poor diets, drugs, stress... even so, it comes back to genetics.

For example, a dude might take steroids and speed bald, while the next dude can take the same thing and not be affected.

Laine is going to look like such a creeper with the Al Iafrate hair and that stupid Amish beard. The stuff of nightmares.

He'll look the same, just with less hair

Sammy B is definitely losing it all. That being said, it's not an exact science, my old man had a widows peak by his mid 20s and his hair line has stayed the same since. My father in law is even worst, his hair thinned to nearly bald in his early 30s and hasn't changed any in 30 years now, he's mastered the combover.

Hats and helmets? Na, I'm sure it can speed up the process, but my grandpa wore a hat everyday of his adult life, and he passed away with a full thick head of curly hair.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Looks like the OP has a thing for bald guys...creepy.

 

[karnige]

According to my very old school barber, a lot of times baldness is caused by wearing hats/helmets on a regular basis.

it speeds it up. it won't be the actual cause though. that's genetics baby.

 

[karnige]

I just don't get the players who hold onto that last piece of hair...just makes it look 100x worse. Just shave it all.

or even buzz it on the lowest setting and have some beard going. ala Jason stathom.

 

[Edmonton East]

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.

Patrick Kane debunks this myth

 

[oconnor9sean]

Tyler Seguin's days are numbered. Fortunately for him, he can wear a winter hat in Toronto when he signs for the Leafs.

 

[These Are The Days]

Add Brian Boyle to the mix. He's starting to thin at the sides just a little bit but that's honestly to be expected at the age of 33. It's doubtful he loses all his hair, just a decent amount of density by the time he's middle aged enough to where he won't need a comb over but you'll be able to see some scalp. It's likely the same will happen with Stamkos

Devin Shore is hurting pretty bad for a 23 year old

it's all genetics

 

[Majikme]

Was actually talking about this with my girlfriend yesterday. I could have swore someone posted a picture of a Stamkos before and after where he had hair transplants done, (allegedly) but for the life of me now, I can't find it.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

A lot of people posting in this thread hang out on that cesspool of a message board known as "the misc" way too much...

 

[islesfan186]

Damn I thought Getzlaf would have ran away with this thread. Did he finally start shaving that dome? He's clinging on to hope. I did the same thing up until my second deployment in 2010 (I was 24 at that point) when I finally said f*** it lol.

 

[WesMcCauley]

It doesnt speed it up, if you lose hair because of male pattern baldness its because the hair follicles dies. That happens under your skin.
Hair loss is genetic and can go from both sides and you can lose hair at 20 even if no one else in your family did so. Its still genetics but you got "unlucky".
