Apart from shaving, I see two other options; 1.) try and salvage what I have left, and 2.) start wearing a hat - permanently. I'm pretty sick of trying to stick with option 1, since I spend hours trying to make the hair that I have left look decent, and I'm never really happy with the way it looks.
Take Saintc's advise and buzz down to see how you like it. Once you cut it short, go shorter in steps to see how it looks. You'll probably reach a point where you'll want to see what you look like completely shaved. If you don't like it, you can let your hair grow back.
I'd like to see what it looks like a bit shorter.
Perhaps I'm just overreacting over the shape of my skull.
