two words.. buzz cutt.
honest, simple, low maintenance, plus that whole "i don't give a *beep*" vibe is cool |

Mercifully baldness does not run in my family...but all sympathies.
However i have noticed grey hairs appearing now at the age of 32! Ultimately I may face the hair-dye conundrum. Which is worse- silver mane or no mane?? |

Re: the comb-over. Two words: we notice. I've met guys who fool themselves and attempt the camouflage, but unless you're gluing your hair to your gleaming forehead, you're just playing peekaboo.
Go with short and sweet. There's nothing wrong with that, and a receding hairline is pretty much inevitable. If I understand you correctly, you haven't got a bald spot a la Ted Danson, which is a lot more unappealing in my opinion.
I hear, by the way, that Rogaine actually works. Good luck! |

If you look or think you look not so good as your hair is now, I say give the cueball head a try. You may look real cool, and dangerous! |

Would he be improved by a combover? I think not.

Everyone who thought my comb-over suggestion was serious, raise your hand.
And then kick your own ass.
Some posts shouldn't require smilies.
Like this one.

I was referring to the OP

My solution has been to grow it longer it the hope that the oily scraggy locks and half mullet will draw any attention from the forward barer patches.... thus preserving my dignity and youth..... If i can get my hands on some brill cream.... I reckon a comb-over would really help.....

and to a few friends of mine who think that having long hair at the front effectively disguises their expanding widow's peaks. |

There are worse things than the comb over. Not many, but there are some. My great uncle did some kind of wrap around thing with what little hair he had left. One particularly windy day, a gust lifted the entire mess about an inch off of his head and I almost bit my toungue off to keep from laughing. - Don't do that.
If you're going to shave your head, I'd wait til later in the year. The style might look great, but the tan line from freshly exposed skin might not. |

You know what I'd really like to see? A skullet trying to use his mullet as a sort of a back-to-front comb-over.
Whaddya think?
Any photoshop wizard out there who could cook that up? |

I thought that was a toupee- looks too full to be a comb over. |

its one of the world's great mysteries but i believe its a 'wraparound' style combover very stiffly shellacked in place, i saw him on tv in high wind once, man, that thing really is stiff!! it fluttered a bit but barely moved! |
