Having my mpb kick in at 18, spend the next couple of years trying to pass a combover off as a full head of hair.

The MPB gene made me do it. I have a choice, either look like Bozo the clown when it grows out, or keep it shaved. The fringe look is not for me. Just saying....

I've been into the bald look for many years and I didn't have confidence or age on my side to keep the shaved head going. I'm going BBC because it's cleaner, easy to maintain and makes me feel like a million bucks.

I've had a massive crush on men with shaved heads going back to grade 3 when my teacher had a shaved head. I just love the look of it. When I was 13, I got a buzz cut that I hated which made me think I could never pull off being bald. However, I've also hated my hair most of my life. Its natural curly and its so darn thick. I can't maintain a hairstyle that I like. I hate my natural colour and have coloured it so much that I'm surprised that I haven't damaged my hair and scalp. My hair also grows ridiculously fast. I swear I must have been a Chia Pet in a previous life. The final straw over the summer was dying my hair blue which I re-did a month ago. My friend has a shaved head and I'm envious of it. In a couple weeks my mom and I are going to a taping of The People's Court and I highly doubt they'd let me in with blue hair so I conceded I'd have to buzz it. Then I thought I'd try shaving it and if I didn't like it, it'd look like a buzz cut when we go to the show.

I love my new look. I hope I live a long life so I can keep it this way. I regret not doing it much sooner. A lot of people's mouths dropped but once they get over the initial shock they say they love it. I have received more compliments over the past few days then I did combined throughout the years when I changed my hair colour and style!

I just wanted to shave my head 1 time to see what it was like. That was over 5 years ago, and haven't missed very many days shaved bald.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

Hi Chris:  I agree.  I wish I still had "nice" hair but since it has gotten so thin and whispy I would rather be rid of it entirely.

Much better than hiding under a hat or combover,you look more masculine and clean

Always wanted to so I did a virtual st baldricks and made 500 bucks. Sat down in the barber chair and got it cue balled. I go back and forth but decided after I get my dvm I’m going to keep it sly 24/7. It’s just easier.
