I am losing my hair, slowly but surely. But I've learned, for the most part, to live with it. When I get my hair cut, I tell the barber he doesn't have to show me the back, because it's always disheartening to see how much it's thinned back there.
I think I'm just going to let it go. I'll keep it short (which isn't a stretch, because I've been in the military for 27 years, and it's been very short (obviously) for that time.
I agree about the bad hair-dye jobs. Men, don't bother. Unless you have it professionally done, and continually maintained (an expensive proposition) it just looks BAD. I saw this older guy at the gym on Saturday (there not to work out, but to drop off and pick up his wife). The top and the sides were dyed this weird dark brown, and the lower fringes were white. He looked ridiculous. As he was driving off, I could see he was smoking a cigarette. Something else that will age you.
Ditto for dying your facial hair. Unless you spend a of time, it doesn't look natural. Go to my original rules, and heed the "get rid of all facial hair" rule. You'll look younger.
Don't get a toupee, or go to Hair Club for Men. It just doesn't look natural. Best bet: keep your cut short, lament its passing, and GET IN SHAPE.

Just to say, I think that men losing hair who get the rest of it cut properly look very nice - gray hair, too. It is when one tries to make up for what is missing by growing the rest long, that is unflattering and odd.
At the age of 52 I was a new grandma, and people would mistake me as my grandson's mother. Now, ten years later, I absolutely look like a grandmother. i swear I've aged 20 years in the past ten years. I still dress with the trends, I'm not overweight, I don't have wrinkles, but my jaw line is softening, I've lost brow definition, and I have those dreaded nasal-labial folds so I absolutely look my age.
I know I look a little younger than my age - On my last birthday, work colleagues were guessing my age at about 7 years younger than I actually am. I've had people say things like "well, when you hit the big 4-0 in a few years, you won't feel any different..." I'm 42 going on 43 but I have a small frame and no wrinkles so it is kind of hard to judge.
Yes i look older than my actual age. I am 17 and people often say i look like 22-23. It annoys me sometimes but this has proven true since i have used my older looks to do some stuff that is not legal for under 18
