[Closed] Holy cow! I really am bald!

Karl Pilkington?

But then I took a pic of the top of my head

.. as you do...

Why have you posted a picture of Pluto?

At least he didn't take a picture of Uranus

Don't listen loddrick. I'm in the same boat.

Sun damage to scalp

Like a globe viewed directly at the pacific...

Yes baldy, you are bald indeed but consider yourself lucky coz you still have the tiny hairs to keep your head warm.

Mine is so polish clean like a mirror ... what tiny hairs? Nothing!

Having no hairs is a pain when the weather is cold or hot as both will give me massive headache.

Dammit! 😡

Edit: I hate wearing hat ...

Welcome to the club , you'll need a couple of things - factor 50 in the summer and a beanie for the winter 🙂

Factor 50 is useless in Borneo coz my head will simply melt with or without 1000 factor ... The insects will also have free meal all day long as I found out two summer ago.

I miss my thick hairs ...

Baldilocks and the three hairs!

Chrome Dome

Get down the tattoo shop and get loads of little rabbits inked all over your noggin.

From a distance they'll look like hares.......

You must have hairy areas somewhere?
Pics?
p.s. did you lie on the bed to take that pic?

It's bloody great in Bognor.

Let us rejoice that we are not baldies in the 70s.

A comb over in the 70's! You must have skull showing through by now ;O)

Is it a testicle?? 😆

Crikey, scousers really will nick [i]anything[/i]! Hope you get it back mate.

Explains why you are miserable in lots of forum threads now 😉

On the pulse side it hadn't all sodded off by 21...

Bald is one thing, but I discovered a grey hair somewhere I didn't want to the other day 🙁

My life is over . . . .

The hairdresser still seems to charge the same to do what's left.

They don't even offer to polish the bits they can't cut, either.

"Come in, sit down. My name is Madam Fortunista and I'm hear to bring you good news..

6mins later having meted out bullshite..

That'll be £65 please

😆

Don't get me wrong, I know I've been bald for a long time. Just didn't realise I had huge swathes of my scalp with no hairs whatsoever.

My kids have been calling me egg in a nest for years, I always thought they were exaggerating. Now I know they weren't.

Sun damage to scalp

Indeed. Be careful, fella. Even on overcast days you'll get a good dose of UV. Skin cancer is so easily overlooked when it comes to the top of the head... 🙂

How can you tell? Does it really look damaged? I tend to wear a hat or a helmet in summer but should I be wearing a hat all year round?

Clear the parcel shelf.

Tinfoil on head.

Im just of for a cut. I can post you some?

*is blessed with a thick mop that would put the gruffalo to shame*

Nice jacket, but why are you wearing it indoors?

It's a Mountain Equipment Citadel. I was cold. Better than putting heating on. Plus I think I was just about to go and pick kids up from school.

Going bald was the best thing I ever did.

The op has my sympathy. I recently caught sight of my "sunroof".
Good grief.
In fact every time I go to the barbers and they use the mirror to show the back of my head,I wince.

You need to get a closer shave dude, that looks patchy as F. And wear a hat in the sun.

I'm bald too, shave very close at least once a week. Hate the way it can look untidy if left too long. Don't forget the hair on your neck.

Does it really look damaged?

It looks very similar to my bonce which was highlighted by a skin expert as sun damaged.

I also wear a hat but I'm not religious about it and have been burnt on a few occasions but after recently having a lump removed from my shoulder as a suspected SCC I was informed by the nurse that she sees more skin cancer on the tops of the ears than any other part of the body. So, although delivered with his usual comedic panache, Bear's suggestion of a wide-brimmed hat matches the advice* given to me by the expert at the dermo dept.

*Her english wasn't particularly well pronounced so I thought she was suggesting I get a "tealeaf" hat. It wasn't until I got home that I realised she meant a Tilley hat**, of which I am now the proud owner. I look like a bit of a dick but it has to be better than having problems with that side of life. Before that I used to wear a baseball cap but I think I was little too late in getting there before the damage. I've been balding since I was 28 so 20 years of sun damage is going to take its toll.

** Other, cheaper cotton hats are available. I got a Tilley because they're quite nice to wear so thought it would encourage regular use.

Get yourself a Gillette and Shave it off Agassi style.

Sorted.

Welcome to the club. We had [s]t-shirts[/s] hats made.

I really want a Bowler hat. Don't know why and I'm sure i'll look a total bell end in one but I want one all the same.

I'm the same, I always thought those dots had a correlation to the cause of baldness (duh) because every bald person o saw had them.

Now I know it's sun skin damage from being bald 🙁

I wouldn't mind but I look so stupid in hats! But not stupid enough to risk skin cancer.

One of our customers has some really angry looking stuff growing on his head.
It's all the incentive you need to hat up.
My dad is heading that way. I think a lot of it down to them doing national service in Cyprus.
