    54m here.

    Started in my early 30’s. I still have some hair on top, but it’s not much, just enough to run a comb through. Though these days I keep it so short that combing or brushing isn’t practical. From a distance I look like I’m wearing yamaka the color of my skin.

    The last thing I want is to do like my Dad did. Grow a few hairs long enough to wrap around my head. One of my brothers fancies himself “a renaissance man” (yes, he’s a fucking idiot) and has grown his hair long enough to have a pony tail… That originates from the front of his head. Yes, it looks as bad as you are imagining.

    The one thing I did luck out on, is I have almost no gray hair. The woman who has been cutting my hair for the last 17 years even asked me what hair coloring I use. It took three hair cuts for her to finally find a gray hair on my head, but she was convinced I colored my hair until that point. My beard is about 30% gray. I’m getting more gray hairs on my head now.
