Boris Kodjoe, LeBron James

Actor Boris Kodjoe shared words of advice for young men who inherited the balding gene from their father’s side of the family.

In a post on Instagram.com, Boris, who lost his hair over a decade ago, writes:

“I had HAIR!!!! Granted it was a long time ago and it left me for good right around the time I became a father. But I fought for it, pretended it was still there even though my hairline receded faster than I could color it in with #mascara or other USELESS anti-balding remedies.”

The 45-year-old father-of-2 said he tried everything to save his hairline and delay the inevitable:

“#Sharpie #OnlyForMen #HairFibers #FillInPowder #Serum yes, I did it all!! And was convinced noone would notice…BUT THEY ALL KNOW YOU’RE DOING IT….EVERYONE KNOWS!!!!”

Boris concluded by saying he embraced his baldness — and other men should too.

Without naming any names, Boris wrote: “Tag SOMEBODY YOU LOVE and who needs to LET IT GO!!!! .. #HairDontCare #LEDDIGOOOOO”.

A few of Boris’s Instagram followers tagged NBA legend LeBron James. And one user even tagged a female friend.

Question: Do you know anyone who needs Boris’s words of wisdom today?
