From the Brickyard | Subject: Shave off those locks and own it
——
You start noticing a little extra hair in the sink. The corners of your hairline begin their slow retreat. One day, you see it in the mirror—your dome’s going bare.
Relax, brother. You’re not broken. You’re becoming part of a proud lineage of legends who ditched the mop and rocked the clean dome with confidence.
You’re in Good Company
Let’s roll call a few titans who didn’t need hair to dominate:
- Bruce Willis – Action icon. Bald and badass.
- Jason Statham – Doesn’t need hair to be an ass-kicking legend.
- The Rock – Lost his locks, gained the world.
- Michael Jordan – Greatest of all time, no hair.
- Patrick Stewart – Sophisticated. Commanding. Bald since the Enterprise.
Balding isn’t a curse—it’s a transformation. You either slump…or stride into your next phase like a man with nothing to prove.
Just to Leave No Stone Unturned, What Are Your Options?
1. Shave It Clean (Brickwall’s Choice)
- Low-maintenance. Dominant. You’re not clinging—you’re claiming.
- Pair it with muscle and some facial hair? Game over.
- Maintenance becomes ritual. Masculine. Meditative.
- Easy to DIY.
→ Pro Tip: Grow your facial hair. Nature’s trade-off—and it slaps.
2. Buzz Cut
- A softer entry if you’re not ready to go full chrome dome.
- Still looks sharp, masculine, and intentional.
- Gears you up to eventually go full razor.
- Easy to do at home.
3. Keep Fighting
Want to fight the hair loss? You’ve got tools. But they come with tradeoffs.
- Minoxidil (Rogaine): Over-the-counter topical. Might slow the loss, maybe regrow some—but results vary.
- Finasteride (Propecia): Prescription DHT blocker. Lowers androgens—and brother, I don’t like anything that steals your edge. Use with extreme caution.
- Microneedling, laser therapy, PRP: Experimental. Expensive. Results all over the place.
- Transplants: The nuclear option. Costs high. Commitment high. Results vary.
Fighting hair loss is fine. But chasing it at the cost of your fire? That ain’t the Brickwall way. That ain’t the Musclebuilder way.
→ Bottom Line: Some guys get results fighting it. Some don’t. But know this: every option costs something—money, time, or hormones. Do your homework before you go into battle.
Just Shave It Off, Stud
Rock that dome with pride. Build muscle. Grow some killer facial hair. Walk tall.
Adapt. Dominate. Build—even when the hairline retreats.
Being a badass isn’t rooted in follicles—it’s in strength, presence, and the way you carry yourself.
It’s not the hair. It’s the fire in your eyes.
Brick by brick.
