I actually used to do that short butch cut in middle/high school. About 1/2 inch to 1 inch. It was pretty easy maintenance but I prefer having it longer so it can be styled more.

You may get lucky and just have your hair thin out a little bit and not actually go bald. Haha, well, my dad had very thick, wavy hair like mine all the way until he passed away at 52. Both of my grandfathers kept a pretty full head of hair at age 80+, although my mom’s dad had a slightly receded hairline. *worries* His hairline was probably like a half inch to one inch further back than a normal hairline. It was still full otherwise. I’m not sure if his hair was like that when he was younger or not. Some people just have high hairlines (I’ll keep telling myself that). Look to your maternal grandfather for your future hairline and also your mother’s brothers if she has any. The gene is carried on the female side. Your paternal grandfather could be pate bald and not pass it on to your father or you. Personally, my paternal grandfather was bald and my dad had very receded hair. I’m approaching 50 and have very thick, though highly graying hair. In fact, my hair was grayer at 45 than my father’s when he died at 81. My mom’s brothers, on the other hand, both in their 70’s have thick white hair. That’s the genetic side it passed on from. I don’t know about my mom’s father because he died when she was very young. I would wager he had thick and unbaldng hair. I got this from my wife who teaches human anatomy and physiology. She told me more that I don’t recall, or maybe didn’t understand to begin with!

However, I recently looked at pictures of him in his early 20s and he had that hairline back then. Could just be a big forehead! I think it seems really noticeable because he always slicked his hair back with Bryllcreem. My mother just has one living brother who is 53. She had one other brother who sadly died as a baby. The brother who is 53 has a very full, thick head of hair, but generally keeps it very short. He also has that big forehead look. I have a widow’s peak, myself, but my maternal grandfather didn’t, and my mom’s brother doesn’t. However, my paternal grandfather had a widow’s peak. I wonder if that trait can be dominant?

My father’s hairline looked more receded too because he always slicked it back as well. I don’t think hairline is controlled genetically in the same way as male pattern baldness, just like color is genetically different. You seem to have genetics on your side! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Here's a neat video about this topic... it's not as exact as @Mrich209's, which is as good as it gets, but if your hairstylist doesn't understand how to do long layers on men (which likely they don't because they've been steeped in modern disconnected hairstyles), then show them this: I'm thrilled this style is coming back. I never thought it would. In the 90s and 00s, it was RIDICULED to death. But what goes around comes around... the younger generation who weren't around back then is re-discovering a classic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrich209 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ok...I can't swear to this because I don't want to be put in a funny farm for talking to myself in the bathroom, but if I were to do a how to video, from everything to the proper way to cut it, to the styling, would there be any interest ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Last guy screwed mine up. Took too much off the back and left too much on top. Also didn't understand layers at all. Need to find someone new. I'm letting it grow out now, maybe for a September cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
