Hair and getting old.

[slinkster]

You only realise how important hair is when it starts changing of it's own accord.

My bloke's noticed his hair thinning slightly... it's noticably thinner but there's no bald patches or anything. He's always had pretty thick hair so I think he'll thin but not go bald, which I just can't even picture. We're both 27... but it's a reminder that we're actually going to age which is a bit scary.

It'll be wrinkles next...

I've been told that you are at your peak when you are around 21, which is kind of depressing that it isn't going to get any better and only go downhill from now on.

It's a horrible thing losing your hair. I hope it doesn't happen to me... thin hair runs in my family too.

Don't worry. Everyone loves a Wrinkly.

I would have a check-up if I were him, when I was extremely ill fifteen years ago, my hair thinned out a good bit, and continued after I was "well".

I went to a pharmacist and he told me what to take to get the hair back which worked.
He said it was a combination of pain killers and the illness that did it to me, but he said mainly the illness. (not cancer, and I did not even go to a doctor till I was on deaths door. They operated the day I went in.)

Jon, men at their peak from about 17 to 25, while women get to their physical best from the late twenties to 40. Always makes me smile, that one :

Men losing hair doesn't matter Slinky. Just look at Bruce Willis

[Roamy]

Don't worry Slinky - as you grow older it is not the number of hairs it is the numbers in your wallet

As long as you don't get fat, then it's all good.

So it goes.

And what do you mean "going to age"?

[Mark in Oshawa]

27? Hell, I got socks THAT old....
Try 45 Slinkster...then you think, hey, I had a great time, and I am going to enjoy what I have left...at some point, you just don't get upset about it. It took me til about 43 or so to think that way. Turning 40 depressed the heck out of me...

As for my hair, Well it changed colour to 50% gray, and thinned out something quick in the last 5 years, but that too is life. I don't FEEL old so that is what really counts. If your man is still as frisky mentally as he was 3 years ago, don't sweat the hair thinning....
