Can you ever *not* look like a vato gangsta trying to pull this off? I'm trying to think if this would be a viable hairstyle, but every time I try to imagine it I just see my 18 year old brother, who is trying to do the "I'm white but I really want to look mexican" gangsta look.

I've seen guys in their mid-thirties with the Lobot-esque semi-encirclement of hair with the wisps of 2-ft strands overtop. Dude, WTF? When I was 24 I shaved my head for the hell of it to see how things would look if I went bald. I had NO problems gettnig ladies or compliments. The bottom line gents, is holding on to your fading hair shows insecurity. Saying 'screw it' and going smooth says you know you're all man and having hair or not doesn't change that.

Hell, there are streets full of bald men here who could still have full heads of hair if they wanted it; they shave by choice! Maybe bald is the new black. On that note, bald black men seem to have known all about real sex appeal for a long, long time. Isaac Hayes didn't invent it, he just put it in the greater public eye. What I think the last decade or so has taught or reminded the rest of us is that character and confidence is what makes a man - or a woman - so appealing. If you need hair, god-given or man-made, to find those qualities, you're looking in the wrong place. There have always been hot bald men.

It gave him a more stern, serious aura than prettyboy Kirk's misadventures through the cosmos. When I lose my curls, I'm going the Jean-Luc route - no plugs or rugs on my dome.

But how about some more positive posts about those of us with shaven pates? I'm feeling discriminated against by this week's theme. :( The hair halo is priceless.

You don't need hair plugs, boys, but you've got to do something to prove that you aren't clueless. Admittedly, the "hair halo" runs a close second.
