Before/after pics... what do you think?

[Fletcher]

What do you guys think? Currently I don't like it at all... gonna be wearing a hat for a while.

[Sly Red]

Head shape is good.  Don't cover it up, go out proudly Sly!

I think it suits you very much. You need time to get used to it. Keep the style for a while. I'm sure that you'll like your new style in a month ;-)

[SlyMike]

Looks great!

[Hingatao]

Looks good!

You're pulling it off.  Hat not necessary.

[Sir Harry]

Your before pictures look good...The after pictures are good, but I take it that you just buzzed it down instead of going full shave. That said, if you decide to grow it back, at least you tried and you know what it looks like should you decide to do it again.

It looks good, it may just take some time to adjust due to the change.  Your hair did look good as well.

[AJ Q-Ball]

Looks great man! Like tobler said, you don't need a hat. I'd encourage you to get the razor and shaving cream out and shave it completely. I'm sure you'll come to love it!

Display it proudly with no hat.

I think it looks great.  You need to give yourself time to get used to the change. That's why we have the 30 day rule. You've already done the hardest part -- the actual buzzing down.  You owe it to yourself to see the experiment through by letting the world see your shorn head.  You'll be surprised at how differently you will be looking at things in just a few days.

Another vote for no hat.  Some quality time with a razor, and a little sun, I think you will change your mind 

[bennett11]

obviously prejudiced but I think you look better shaved close.

You certainly look good with or without hair. However I prefer the bald look, it suits you best. Oh yea and lose the hat, you won't be needing it. Show off what you don't have.

[Semi-Sly]

Like you, I still have hair and can choose how I wear it.  I switch it up.  I wear some hair for half the year and little to none for the other half!  It is nice to change your look now and then.  I like your look both ways but I think that you owe it to yourself to give the Sly Look a fair trial - it looks so good off of you!


But what you are going through right now is "all in your head".  You look GREAT!  You have a nicely shaped head, good facial features, beautiful clear skin, and you still have natural color in your beard and eyebrows!  It definitely makes you more "macho" looking than you did with hair.  What more can you ask for?

 - it just takes your brain time to adjust. You are asking your brain to change an imprint that it has held for years!  That is the whole reason for the 90 day rule!  To give your brain time to adjust.

Bottom line:  Since you have come this far you obviously had a desire to test fly a shaved head - so then follow through with your plan and give yourself time to make a truly informed decision.  Break out the razor and do the deed properly.  Then commit to keeping the head shaved for at least 30 days.

Every day or so, check in with us and let us know how you are feeling about it and how you and others are adjusting to the new look.  If, at the end of the 30 days you decide that Sly is not the look for you, your hair will grow back quickly.
