Real talk my best mate did the same thing for years as his balding got worse...oil hair and slick back to try and hide a round, typical crown bald spot. Not one bite on his online dating profiles. Shaved that rubbish off finally and now he’s married with a kid and happy as hell. He’s embarrassed he held onto his hair that long. He looks so much better.
Also here’s the thing about the “parting damage” of Phil. First off, pull the other one, idiot. People tend to part their hair in the same place for YEARS and it doesn’t damage your hair to the point of baldness. Even if your mom caused breakage there somehow, it can’t kill your hair follicles. For God’s sake even ripping hair out at the root with hot wax once a month for years doesn’t destroy most follicles.
Second and most importantly, as a woman I can tell you exactly what’s happening here: Phil is balding like a woman. When women start to lose hair (around age 35 or so, with one in three women losing a significant amount by age fifty), it begins thinning in a less crown-oriented pattern than men. It’s sort of suffused through the top of the head, concentrating a bit more just behind the fringe. And the most notable aspect is that their middle part starts to widen to a jagged balding stripe, creating a streak going up the middle of the scalp towards the back, where it may also create a secondary balding patch at the crown sometimes. But mostly it’s the widened middle part and grouped thinning at the front of the head, just behind the beginning of the hairline.
Phil is balding like a girl. I wonder how his powerful Y chromosome feels about that.
