Hair Transplant Yes or No?

[ianrauk]

Alright fellow baldies.
Would any you follicular challenged chappies have a hair transplant ala Rooney if you had the money?


Myself.. no. for the reason that you probably couldn't get the glorious luscious ginger colour that I have matched up easily.
(Remembering many moons ago when I used to dye my hair with black stripes supposedly to look like a tiger

)

No, I went bald at 28 and I am comfortable with my look.

Most hair transplants look crap anyway and I would have to buy a comb.

I knew a ball headed bloke once who painted rabbits on his head.

From a distance they looked likes hares.

 

[Globalti]

Absolutely not. I had a customer in Pakistan who did this; the little tufts on his scalp looked like a yard brush and when he shaved his head for Haj the hairless scars on the back of his head looked terrible. Even funnier was when he tried to persuade me to do the same. He said: "You ought to have a plantation like me"!

 

[4F]

No, grade 1/2 for me thanks.

 

[Fnaar]

No way! It'd be like putting knobbly tyres on my road bike!

 

[mickle]

Definitely not, I think this sort of treatment is appalling. The idea that we can use technology to fix 'problems' with our bodies is utterly repellant. Sheer vanity. There are people starving in Africa. Get therapy.

i have the family hairline, my grandad has whispy white hair, my dad has none (blame the policements helmet) and mine is defo receding...
i'm going to leave it be though let it recede.
my grand plan for when i hit about 45-50 is grow it out into a pony tail, happily bald on top, full beard and small round purple glasses.
i reckon the ageing hippy look will suit me

There are always people starving in Africa, which is awful but no argument for rejecting anything other than subsistence expenditure. Why is spending cash on a transplant any more abhorrent than buying nice clothes - or a £1000 bike for that matter? Not that I'd do it myself - not least 'cos I've never seen it look anything but crap on others - but I can't see that there's anything inherently immoral about it.

Hair transplant or not, he's still a spud faced granny shagger.

That's not ageing hippy...that's sad, sad, sad. There is no excuse for a ponytail on a 50 yr old man. None.

Even Francis Rossi from Status Quo cut his off a few years ago when he finally realised he looked stupid. It just took him 30 years to work it out!

Totally agree

Besides I prefer men who grasp the nettle and go with the number 1 clippers or shave altogether once the top's gone
I realise it doesn't suit all men but those who avoid combining very short hair with 'I'm trying to look tough/young* ' clothes generally look better than those who try to cover up the inevitable.

I'd prefer to have a full head of hair but I can't say it bothers me that I don't. Hardly one of life's injustices.

... Get therapy.

I've had 'therapy', and I'd still have a transplant. I've gone all thin on top and I'd have a Rob Brydon if I had the cash. I can't stand the trend for number threes and below - basically the only hairstyle you're allowed if you're going bald - as it makes you look like a thug.
