My hair never seems to look stylish or attractive. Whatever I've ever done with it it's never looked like most people's. There are always tufts that stubbornly jut out, I've got a double crown at the back of my head and generally it just doesn't look very vibrant.

That's why I've ordered a high quality wig.

Anyone else always struggled with their hair?

Why not?

Get yourself an orange hair helmet like Trump's, and soon you could become...the leader of the whole free world! :lol:

Embrace it and shave it.

I have been shaving mine for around 8 years. Seemed odd at first but you could gradually work your way there with shorter and shorter cuts so no one really notices I suppose.

Started a new job 4 years ago and someone commented recently that I must have looked odd when I had hair. That is how quickly people just get used to it.

I look ugly with no hair. It suits some men but not me. If it works for you though Biscuitman more power to you. Good for you for finding a solution.

As for Trump, if you ask me one of his few redeeming features is his hair! :lol:

Do whatever makes you feel good about your look. Just be aware that in a stiff wind, your wig may fly away!

You don’t need a wig. You look better without one.

.....unless it’s one of those judge’s wigs.

Your hair looks fine to me, quite attractive.

I would ditch the wig idea.

B19 has good sartorial awareness.

I am in the lucky position that I am only slightly receding but if it gets worse I will go for a bonehead

Fifasy also looks really familiar to me i.e someone famous but I can't think who. ( mind you I tend to do this with everyone )

I'm slightly receding, too.

I would never get a wig, no matter what.

Unless I want to be a judge in the UK and some other members of the Commonwealth.

Speaking as a lady married to an autistic man with a bald patch-you are being way too hard on yourself. I have actually caught my husband taking bald patch selfies, which is a sad thing for a man to do. He looks great and so do you!

I do understand about the head shape. Everyone is different. I suggest going to your best barber shop in town and letting them do whatever they think would best fit on your head. My husbands hair looks much fuller when they do the fade way up into the bald patch. Strange sounding, but it works. There are lots of tricks like that.

If that's your own picture - it's more than slightly.

You still look good, but I'm insisting on self-awareness accuracy.... ;)

Of the men I've seen who shave their head, maybe ten percent had an attractive head shape.

Myself, I feel that showing your remaining hair as it naturally is - no combovers - is the best choice for the 9/10 who do NOT have an attractive head shape.

If fifasy wants to wear a wig - he should! (Except in a high wind!)

If you would meet me in person, you would think that I'm only "slightly receding." In pictures, I look like the hairline is more receding than it actually is. I've had the same "bald spot" since I was in my 30s.

It's much harder to get the "right" wig----than it is to merely shave it off.

I'm not nearly to the point where I would ever shave my head.

Trump looks like a cheeto head.....as for orangey hair. That was me growing up.

Gotta luv Trump for his iconic crazy ass hair.

Bea, was that really necessary to comment on Kraftie?
