Should I shave my head or not?
« on: May 22, 2016, 10:38:08 AM »
Hello guys,

I've finally decided to let someone judge my hairloss and I'm looking for your help and advice :). Let me please introduce myself - I'm 25 years old healthy man (non smoker, only casual drinker), I have a day job, I play guitar and I play football and do jogging as well. My confidence is taking a hit everytime I look at my recent photos though.

I had always head full of hair even though my father is completely bald. Here's how my hair looked in 2012:

From there it was slow but steady downfall. These days my hair are receding quickly and are fairly weak. I would say it makes me older than I actually am. Now I can't really hide or mask the ugly truth that I'm balding, as you can see on these pictures, which were taken yesterday:

I've experimented with buzz cut a year before (summer 2015), but this was only because of the heat streak here in Czech republic... I wasn't thinking making this as my "main" haircut. But I'll enclose the pics for the size...

So the question is this - should I just shave it off? Or go for the buzz cut? I'm kinda touchy on the shape of my head, I don't want to look like a hairy egg.
Thanks for every opinion and suggestion, I appreciate it.

i think your buzz cut looks great. i'd keep it like that for a while then move onto a full head shave if it feels right for you. good luck!

I agree with the previous post. You look great with the buzz cut. It sure looks refreshing and cool. It's a little less shock on your friends if you start with a buzz cut, then take it down slowly each week until you are buzzing with no guard. It's a real tight teddy bear fuzz feeling (I like it myself).  Then when you break out the razor to shave your head, it almost looks the same. But feels much better.  30 day rule. Then if you want to switch back and forth, it only take 5-7 days to be back at the fuzz feeling again.

Head shape looks great. You can rock the bald look. It's a nice choice.

I think where you are in the last three pics look great! No need to shave right away unless it's something you just want to try. Good luck!

You look great with the buzz cut, keep it at that for a bit maybe?

The buzz looks great but if you want to try a shave go for it, if you don't like it you will have the equivalent of the buzz in a few days.

I agree. The buzz cut looks great -- why not see how a full shave looks and feels?  It reverses itself in a few days if you decide it isn't for you.

I agree.  Keep the Buzz Cut and keep it VERY SHORT.  Do NOT go back to longer hair - it was really looking pretty bad on you.

When you are ready to shave you are going to look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! And, you are going to FEEL even better!
