Title: Shaved or No?
Post by: Cascadian on May 11, 2017, 05:57:42 PM

Hey guys,

I have had slowly thinning hair since 19 and went down the route of minoxidil/finasteride so it went pretty slowly. About a year ago I started shaving my head but I am not sure it's the right look for me. I thought I'd get some opinions as it's tough to ask for an honest opinion from people. I know many guys here would know the thought process and be a great resource. Here are some photos of shaved and unshaved.  What are your guys thoughts?

Welcome,  Cascadian!

If you aren't ready for the full headshave, I think the last two photos suit you well. You are thinning, but I think you can pull off a short buzz for a little while longer. But I would avoid the drugs because they can lead to performance issues if you know what I mean.

I would go for the full shave, keep the facial scruff. You have a good head, nice smile. You will pull it off!

Welcome to the forum!  The shaved head looks great on you, and I think a bit of facial hair works well with it.  I also agree with Sir Harry, definitely avoid the drugs.

Buzz looks great: strong/masculine. Keep it and your days worrying about hair are over.

Just look at that photo of you with the short buzz and that great smile-  I rest my case!
