Men with a full head of hair are often seen as younger-looking, more attractive, and other positive qualifiers. It's one of the first things you notice on a man, and is usually eye-catching, so it's a powerful symbol. Having less hair is not the end of the world, but it can be a detractor.

They transplant the hair strand by stand, its got a high failure rate from what I have seen online.

May I have a cookie?
The dude had male pattern baldness, disappeared for 6 months, and came back with a full head of hair.
I understand money being involved meant the best treatment possible, bought I thought hair transplants were average at best and usually hair plugs could be easily visible. I remember his hair plugs being visible but you don't notice them anymore.

and Jude Law
good to know the technology is available, and it's only a matter of price. In 10-15 years when I need it, hopefully it should be affordable
Brendan Fraser wears a hairpiece and this is what Jude Law's hair is actually like:

TBH I never got people going nuts over going bald. If it bugs you, shave your head.
But I guess these are actors that have been on the front cover of magazines for ten years. :\

What if they need to shave for a role, do they redo the procedure?
Wut? He landed Sherlock after he started to lose his hair (wears it short on that film) and now he is second lead in a franchise that prints money is is doing way more interesting stuff as well.
The bolded is pre him rocking the crop.

:O
mind is blown.
As a straight man, nobody pulls of baldness better than Jason Stratham. Not even Bruce Willis. Okay, maybe Bruce Willis, but I think it's excited to see a bald sex symbol like him (and Vin Diesel).
I don't like that so many women dislike bald men, short men, and all that. Just like I dislike myself for getting turned on by steretypically beautiful female ones.
But our hang ups are strange. I can't date people with the same kind of glasses that my mom uses because it reminds me too much of her. It's a stupid thing but goddamit. these things suck.
If I could reprogram myself I would reprogram myself to only be attracted the dumpy male neogaf doritos eating resolution-gate crusaders and just have sex with those guys - Because they need them. Because I am the sexual chocolate thief the world deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our choclate thief. He's a silent deviant, a watchful protector. A Silent Masturbator, el gatorado stylo. Gambare-Namaste motherfuckers!!!111

Magic of make up mofo...
I wonder how would you feel if you started balding.

No, I recall seeing both of those pictures when they released and the second definitely came before the first.
There is a difference. They are bald, not balding. Vin Diesel looks awful when he doesn't shave his hair because his balding is clear. Same for Willis.
The funny part is I don't know if you're quoting Fraser's or Law's filmography... I guess I haven't been paying much attention.
I guess it's Law's though cos I seem to recall he had something to do with that Sherlock thing. I honestly haven't heard either of them being talked about since Cold Mountain/Mummy Returns.

Ohh right! Gotcha!
I bolded Law, that was the clue.
Sherlock is his only blockbuster (so far) out of those, but he is working more and in quality stuff. They tried to make him a leading man back in the day, hence people thinking his career "fell off", but in fact it's where it should have been all along.

Funnily enough he was in a film called HairBrained last year.

Because it ages you, it is a drastic change in how you are used to looking, and it is socially acceptable (encouraged?) to openly mock balding men.
The mocking comes because bald men deny it, and try to put a chicken on top of their head to cover it up. Women i've spoken to, would much rather have a man with a shorter cut, that suits the hair/head than a a lie. Most men I know, don't care about the hair of other men. So if my anecdotes are right.. the only people that care about this, are the balding men themselves. -- who go through these great efforts, that just end in ridicule. Its like making fun of older guys with trophy wives, or porsches. Just comes with the territory of those social decisions you're deciding to make.
It runs in my family, so when the time comes... its all goin low. 50k or however much for a hair system just seems a bit much, for what the gain is.
I feel this is men's boob job conundrum.
I mean this looks so good compared to a lot of weird things people do with their heads. Easy. You age, your hair goes... just part of life. And millions of other people are having the same genetic dice thrown their way. I understand that a lot of ego is in the hair, but it really doesn't have to be like that when it seems having a short style is at least gaining traction...
If you see an ageing male star suddenly wearing a hat a lot it usually means they're having some sort of work done eg. Brad Pitt and David Beckham.
Heh, I'm pretty sure it makes me look a bit younger.
I'm 36 and get mistaken for being in my late 20's all the time.
Then again I do shave my head.
And that in turn gets people mistakingly assume I'm in a motor gang. lol

Your anecdotes are wrong.

Yep.
Even stars who pretty much have full heads of hair have small transplant procedures done to maintain their hairlines if they get small amounts of recession.
Very, very few men over the age of 35-40 have perfectly straight hairlines, and yet tons of Hollywood celebs do.
Wait, so are those long-lasting scars? Do people not think about what they'll look like when they're old?

I'm almost certain that most celebs go to this guy: http://www.alviarmani.com/
His results are insane, but some people think he's unethical because he does procedures that create Elvis-like hairlines for guys in their 20s and 30s. Which obviously look great at first, but as the guy continues to bald, he's left with just a hairline and no donor hair left to transplant in the crown or midscalp.
