My husband started losing his hair (receding hairline) in his mid-twenties. But honestly, it hasn't really changed all that much since that initial loss. He's sixty now, and still as handsome as ever. He does wear hats more frequently now, which fortunately is stylish: fedoras and ivy caps in winter and straw hats in summer, the hipster look he traded for his long ringlet hippie locks of old!

You'll be just as manly and attractive with a little skin on top (put sunscreen on if you don't wear a hat). It's what's inside that counts!
