Mid to late twenties.
It didn't get visible until the late twenties, but I knew it was happening.
No big deal, I knew it was coming because genetics lol. You can look at my family and tell who is where on the tree because of it.
There's times I wish it wasn't so. I do miss having a full head of hair to have fun with. And I don't like having to wear hats all the damn time since I'm not rubbing sunscreen on my damn head and hoping it doesn't sweat off.
But, mostly, idgaf. Like I said, I knew it was coming, I was comfortable with the idea of it because I knew so many men that made it work for them in one way or another. It never has seemed like a bad thing to me. If anything, I dig how it looks a little more than full hair for a lot of men because men tend to cut hair short, and that limits how you can style it. A lot of faces don't benefit from having that hair on top, or don't with the styles available with short hair
I rock a skullet myself. I enjoy the feeling of my hair long more than I enjoy the lower maintenance of keeping it trimmed down or shaved. Plus, it helps when I get sweaty since the sweat tends to wick along the hair that is there, getting less of it dripping down my face.
Sometimes I'll braid the sides back behind the ears. Sometimes it's loose. But it mostly stays in a tail for convenience.
But, I reached the point I am now by my late thirties. Hasn't changed much since then, and I'm fifty now
