Welcome Mantas,You definitely have a 'spot' but it may not be as bad as you think. In this case the long hair may not help as it shows off your crown. I would suggest that you go for a buzz cut first, if you don't want to go all the way to shaving. you can do this at home if you get some clippers.
Welcome, Mantus!Looking from the front and sides, the mane is pretty impressive! But yes the thinning crown does stand out slightly, and kudos to you for not trying to "hang on" If you feel comfortable just going all the way right away, I don't see why you shouldn't though most people take shorter steps. Good luck to you and feel free to ask for advice and tips at any timeP.S. I'm guessing you meant to say you were 6'6" and 180 lbs. (If you were that tall and only 18 lbs, it's a miracle to be alive! )

Even though I made it sound like i am fully ready, it is a real big step for me and i do not feel real comfortable about it yet. Some of my friend and my ex gave me some honest suggestions and, you are right; hanging on will not help me in any way. I think for this scenario, it may be better to take the full step..You guys did make me think about going to my friend, she is a hairdresser. Maybe we'll make it a night with beers and maybe ill try an in between haircut first. If this isnt working for me, I can always decide then what to do... I read the 30 days part and it seems like a good way to play this game...

Even if you do nothing right away, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as like you said, with your height, it would be hard for the average person to see the crown anyway. A good shorter haircut suggestion would be to shave the sides and back and keep the top a little higher like a flattop/fade style haircut. This haircut will allow your crown to blend in somewhat with the shaved sides. Also, when you shave, have you ever thought about donating your hair to charity? Just a suggestion.P.S. If the crown is bothering you to the point where it's affecting your lifestyle, it may be time to make a change even if it's a small one.
It may be a heavy weight on your shoulders now, but after you take even the smallest step, it will lift a big weight off. Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes. We're here for support, questions or whatever, you're among friends here.
I think you should take the plunge and go for a very short buzzcut. That way it's done all at once, and people will only have reactions once. After a while when you get used to it, you might want to try shaving it, it's awesome when your head is smooth! Once you're buzzed, you'll think 1000 lbs has been lifted off of your shoulders.
Hour height is a definite advantage, I am not as tall as you but similarly you think the thinning is not as noticeable when its higher than everyone else. Then I saw a picture of myself which had the back of my head. Mine was a LOT worse than yours so I just started going shorter and shorter and then shaved. No one has said anything. Its so often a concern people have, 'what will everyone else say' but more often than not they don't actually care what you look like, its much more our own worry about how we are seen. Take control of your own destiny.Good luck
I know where you're coming from man! I had a huge bald spot located at my crown too. When I noticed how big mine was, I buzzed shorter with every hair cut and before long, I shaved it completely. I was apprehensive of what people would think too but everyone loved it. Most importantly, I did too and still do. It's been two years now and I never plan on being anything but bald for the rest of my life. There is nothing like having a smooth dome going into work everyday. It's amazing!
Id say buzz it down! you saw how mine looked and i think your thicker in the front than me. also because of your height that "crown" won't be noticeable with a buzz. Someone spotted mine because they were looking intensely at my head right after i buzzed it. they said "ur getting a little birds nest back here", i told them "its a feasting ground for young chicks". I think it made sense i came up with it on the spot. Anyway, coming from someone younger than you who just took the plunge AND had nice long thick hair like you, i can say its liberating and i feel 10x more confident knowing I'm not hiding anything anymore. Good luck! ill be waiting for the pics!
