Grow a goatee and wear a Fedora, go breaking bad on everybody and call it good.

Meds, trust me, it's the meds. The spouse in her infinite sense of humor quiped as another member big-john introduced himself said, Oh wow you're tall enough to look down on his bald spot [hahhah-no] If i could drive, she'd have a terrible slip n fall in the hills, hypothetically of course.

You're outgrowing your hair. :)

I don't have much hair either.

I have a LOT more hair on my cheeks and chin than I have on the old scalp.

Mine fell off the head and on to the chin . How sad there's more covering the bottom of my head than the top.

Julius Cesar was bald. Didn't seem to bother him any.

Could be worse. My wife's thyroid made her into a raving lunatic (until we got her synthroid dosage sorted out).

It's most likely due to DHT. If you happen to be taking testosterone supplementation, your DHT will elevate, and it causes hair loss. Whether on testosterone or not, you can take a DHT blocker (i.e. propecia), which will help stop hair loss, but you'll be married to it, meaning that if you stop it, the hair loss resumes, and those meds have their own side effects to consider. Talk to your doc.

Or just shave your head like me.

I am taking testosterone as well as growth hormone.

Ask your doc about the benefits/risks of finasteride or dutasteride.

Ehhhhh!
Wrong!
Your wife is a raving lunatic because she married you.

For No-Shave November, some colleagues and I shaved our beards and are having a beard growing competition. I went full-on and shaved my head too. I like the look. Don't be ashamed of the chrome! :D

The worst part is the less it grows on top, the more it grows out places you don't want.

Part your hair further south and comb over, or part it toward the rear and comb forward...............

And you can do like the old hippies, bald from the top of the ears up, the rest grown long and pulled back into a pony tail.

If you're losing your hair because of increased testosterone, just go get in the squat rack and post up some PRs.

Yeah, what's up with that? WTF do we need hair on/in our ears for?

The hair is trying to keep up with the ever growing ears/nose and overcompensates.

Men can rock the baldness. Take the rest of your hair in a buzz cut, and watch how your cool factor grows.

Unless you have moles on your head. I guess you could just use apple cider vinegar to remove them though.
