I suppose it's a "whatever floats your boat" subject. But this is a psych forum after all, and maybe some consideration might be given to the subject of accepting one's self as he/she is. Vanity sure can be a bottomless pit, as I see it, emotionally as well as financially. I started losing my hair in my 20s, and by 40 or so, my hair had thinned considerably on the top. At that point, I stopped parting it so not to look like a combover. Even though my dad wore a piece, and both my brothers had transplants, I chose to accept reality for what it was. Recently, I even started buzzing my hair (at home) and I find that "style" (think: Matt Lauer, Captain Picard, etc.) is really convenient - no waking up with "pillow hair", no problem with the car windows open, etc.. I've noticed that a lot of balding guys do this, and now I understand why.
Just my own experience and opinion. YMMV
