For me it pretty much stopped receding at the temples when I was 21. Recently decided to keep my hair short between 0,5/0,7inches with a low skin fade to get my self more accustomed to what’s coming for me eventually. Looks good.

I honestly never got a console change, but I’ve been playing for ages. I decided a few weeks ago to stop cosplaying different characters (not stopping, have the ultimate change coming soon), and made my character look old. I’ve completed all the heists as a leader (minus casino), and I’m an experienced veteran in the art of war. Once a street kid, now a sad man who wastes money on US government vehicles and tech. Best backstory ever. Glad people change their character this way too!
