Title: Hair Loss in Skateboarding
Post by: Soft Boiled on April 16, 2019, 09:51:55 PM
Someone mentioned something about Daewon not being seen without a beanie in over a decade, which made me naturally assume that he must be bald. Hair loss is a sensitive topic for any man, who are some of your favorite follically-challenged skaters?

Some of mine are Zared, Max Palmer, and Jack Curtain.

There’s apparently some unfortunate stuff going on under James Craig’s hat.

Didn’t Marc Johnson start going losing his hair when he was in his early 20’s?

Daewon is actually on that nick dompierre super long hair tucked up in a beanie tip surprisingly.

Jack curtin is sick and I’m stoked he survived DGK, but in his 2009 LRG part (which is fucking good) he was balding pretty bad but in recent years seems like he still has a full head of hair...

Brandon Turner went bald up front but he kept the dreads going and hid the rest under a hat. I’d be curious to see Steezus’s hairline.

I quit getting flow boxes in high school because I started going bald early, in a time when companies wanted Chris Branagh kids. The TM was balding as well, and had kind words. Didn't help me feel better though.  New Era fitted hats were a God sent trend later in collage.  Neck beard replacement for balding, ala Slash, may be the current trend to compensate

pure Asians don't go bald. Daewon is gonna have waves forever.
 Chief used to bug me out,  he had receding hairline in WTH but then he'd grow long hair in his next video part. i was like 'motherfucker, is you balding or is you not?'
he cockteased us for like 20 yrs before actually relinquishing any more golden locks.
i have no idea if this is true but i heard somewhere that Ryan 'the bum' Hickey lost hair and that's why Supreme let him go.
Gershon punched Andrew Reynolds so hard his hair fell out.
Barker Barrett didn't have much going on upstairs long as i remember.

I use to shave my head every few years and I looked fine, which was why I did it so often. So yea fuck it. Give me them skate powers. However, If you've never seen yoir own head completely bald, then it might be a gamble.

Nah man. I know  plenty of bald dudes that still pull hot chicks. Maybe in your 20s I could see it, but it's not a big deal from your 30s on unless you're into younger chicks, which honestly is enough stress to make you balder anyway.

haha. I think it kind of depends on your head shape if you are still attractive as a bald dude. Thank god my head is shaped nicely... I was actually suprised how much less women care about baldness than men do. There is even the occasional girl who is really into bald dudes.

Yeah, I think I might actually look better with less to no hair, I'm just growing it because I like hair and I might as well enjoy mine before real baldness comes along.

I've had the worst widow's peak since I was born, I've been waiting for the receding hairline for a really long time and it hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping I'll get that Jack Nicholson/The Shining hairline going on when I'm in my prime. Who cares about balding? You're riding a skateboard as an adult, and posting on an online forum talking about it.

Started losing my hair after my twentieth birthday, relied on hats for the longest time until I started buzzing a few years ago and never looked back. Every now and then I think about growing my hair out just for the sake of looking really gross, but I seriously can't go a week without a buzz.

I remember reading an interview with him where he said he was super stoked on the balding look, which was astounding to read as I grappled with losing my hair in my early 20s.

As for conjecture: Bobby Worrest rarely films clips without hats.

I work with a native american girl with long black hair, dresses in black denim pants and some random element skate shoes.
She's really cool and i sometimes crush on her but I can't get over how closely she resembles a clean shaven DGon
from what i hear she definitely steals penises too

Yea whoever said it earlier, men care a lot more about balding than women do.

I think this thread is funny but i didnt realize how into it some of you guys got.  Id rather see someone not so gracefully balding then to have that herrington/sketchy facial hair skaters alwyas tend to get because they are lazy.

I respected Brockman back in the day for going bald but not going full beanie or shaved head. You just don't see many men not giving a fuck about it and just letting what it left flow.

Everybody just does the MJ (that could be either Marc Johnson or Michael Jordan). Just shave it all off.
I remember when I was a kid in the 80s and a totally bald person was such a novel and silly thing. Now they're everywhere and seeing someone whose bald without a shaved head is rare.

I'm 40 and have been shaving my noggin since I was 13, at first just cos a mate did his and then cos' with a mortgage comes brokeness and I can't be fucked with $20 for a trim. And I still have a full head of hair, just can't be fucked with it.

Honestly, shave that shit. Clippers are literally $15 a set from Kmart. People will look at you odd for like a week then just get over it.
Or get a head tattoo and then no one will notice anyway.

max palmer has already been mentioned but i just wanna add: he has had some of the most drastic hair loss in the game but he pulls it off pretty well

first he had that insanely jacked up knotty long hair, paired with a receding hairline, and since his style was so weird and his clothes were so trashed it looked kinda cool. extremely fucked up, but cool.

then he went for the buzz and paired it with some mutton chops, a bold move since mutton chops are not exactly popular right now, but it looks pretty solid

and he aint hiding under a hat or anything like that.

gotta respect it. other bald mfs take note, that's how you do it.

Rocking a bald spot, one of the advantages of losing your hair in your early twenties is that you have time to process it, most of the dudes i know that lost their hair in their early 30s trip about it way more. other people care  about me having a bald spot more than i do.

I definitely recall seeing an old photo of Daewon and he was clearly thinning. Then I saw a more recent pic where he had a shaved head but it looked like he'd had one of those fake hairline deals, where each follicle of hair is tattoo'd on.

 Chief used to bug me out,  he had receding hairline in WTH but then he'd grow long hair in his next video part. i was like 'motherfucker, is you balding or is you not?'
he cockteased us for like 20 yrs before actually relinquishing any more golden locks.
i have no idea if this is true but i heard somewhere that Ryan 'the bum' Hickey lost hair and that's why Supreme let him go.
Gershon punched Andrew Reynolds so hard his hair fell out.

Damn. Half the mainland Chinese guys at my work are balding. Guess their moms have some explaining to do.

ha, i guess it happens sometimes but it might be miscegenation or my theory could be wrong. basically native americans never seem to loose their hair and since they're just Chinese immigrants from a few millenia back, i extrapolated the whole continent were bald proof.

I shaved off a full head of hair. Forehead is getting a lil bigger and hair a little thinner, so i sed see ya later head of hair. Really though, i see plenty of dudes and women with buns and long hair whose foreheads are far more exposed than mine was but it was like clinging to my perception of youth or whatever.

Regardless, i started going gray in my early 20s, now i got head full grey/white hair at 38. Ill take it.

Realized I will be bald at 19 when I saw a huge blank spot on the back of my head in a mirror. At one point in my I couldn't ignore myself getting thinner hair and balding. And getting comments from friends and family which weren't meant negatively but still were tough to handle because of my low self esteem at the time.

The worst part is trying to stop it with hormone-like meds that up your testosterone levels and your whole body and mind. Thanks to my dad (also bald) who bought me all this stuff and even tried to convince me getting a hair transplantion. WTF was he thinking.

I regret shaving my head so late at 27. Should've done it earlier. Its sich a waste of time and energy thinking about your thinning hair and what haircut should have, what hat to wear and so on.
Having unwashed, unstyled sweaty hair and your bald spot and thin hair can be seen.
 
But seeing all your friends with normal hair can be really tough.
Now I'm 32 and don't care about my bald head.

Seeing now the trend of younger people rocking shaved heads is great.

Is it true it’s all genetics ?

I went down a hair-loss rabbithole like 6 years ago. i started doing some ocd-type behaviors about hair loss, eg counting how many hairs i would lose whenever i showered and not touching my hair for fear of it falling out. a lot of men in my family are fully bald or partly bald. anyway i came to the conclusion that A LOT of the time hair loss is caused by underlying health issues eg diabetes or other blood sugar issues, hormone imbalances and auto-immune conditions such as celiac's disease. not all the time but enough of the time that i think if you are losing your hair rapidly it's a good idea to evaluate your general health. i did so at the time and made some big dietary and lifestyle changes. not sure if this actually made a difference but fwiw i still have an almost full head of hair at 28 aside from some minor receding... this is uncharacteristic of my family. i also care way less at this point too but 6 years ago i thought i would be fully bald by now

Someone mentioned Penny, heard from a few British friends his hairline is pretty far back and he keeps the beanie on with the sides long to hide it, I noticed Sheckler last time he had his hat off was pretty thin on top. Barker Barrett talks about the weirdness of being bald young in some semi recent interview, something about being able to a slight of hand switching from his hat to a helmet but that it wasn't easy when you're on a trip with a lot dudes for a while.

From 18 to 21 my hair thinned out a tonne, not receding but just less thick.  I remember a couple of friends piling on me when my hair got wet that i'd be bald in 2 years.  Another friend when I was 22 made public fun of me going bald.  Fuckin' over 20 years later, my hair is exactly the same and they're all mostly bald.  Now it can fall out, i'm past giving a shit, but it's still totally fine.  My dad was totally bald by mid 20s so I figured that was my fate.


I think lots of people freak out in their 20s when their hair changes, I know I did.  Was on propecia, even tried Rogaine once but that just made you look like your hair was wet but it had just changed post teens into my adult hair.

What I have learned is that most of it is due to genetics from your mothers side. But I have this theory that caps, especially those low six panel ones and beanies, are part of the loss of hair. If you ever wore skinny jeans your calves would likely be bald because the fabric would rub the hair off. More evidence supporting my claim is that all my friends who wore caps like that every day are going bald. Me on the other hand who has always had a nice set of hair never really wore anything on my head.

I know I say this with beautiful, voluptuous thick hair but there is no reason to be shamed of thinning hair it's only natural selection :)

If we were road tripping back in the day somewhere in a car and i was in the passenger seat, someone in the back would lick thier finger and touch the biscuit making it feel balder and bigger especially if the windows rolled down.

I haven't gone through all the thread if someone addressed this, but genetic wise, baldness is inherited from your mom's side according to that one genetics class I took in community college years ago.
in short, if one of your mom's parents is bald, you'll eventually go bald as well.
