I’m constantly amazed by how amazing David Bowie’s hair is (and no, I’m not just referring to the wig he used in ‘The Labyrinth’!). But the guy is in his early 60s and has the hairline and fullness of hair that a guy in his early 20’s has. How can this be possible? I’m sure he hasn’t had any transplant surgery and his look is entirely natural.

Could it be that older guys such as himself are just very lucky with their genes and are able to have hair which never thins no matter how old they get?

Yep, it’s all about the genetics. 50% of the male population will develop some degree of balding, which also means that 50% of men will not lose their hair. Look at those photos of David Bowie, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. They are among those with great hair genes, and a massive number of men will actually retain the juvenile hairlines into old age (about 5% of the male Caucasian population). I guess David Bowie might just be one of them.
