• It looks to me like a shaved head. Unless you are naturally bald or have been through something like laser hair treatment you will always have a shadow. Especially if you have dark hair. If you search this subject has come up a few times. My suggestion is to learn to get it just as close as you can and accept that that is what you're going to get!!

• It's the shadow, and your's isn't bad at all, all things considered.  As the guys have said the only final answer is something like laser or other permanent hair removal--but don't worry, many guys here will envy you light shadow. 
  
  The important thing is that you've got a great "dome"  O0and it really looks good .  Hope you're enjoying the freedom, welcome.

• Welcome aboard cincydavid.
  
  Your sly dome looks good - nice shine too.  The shadow will fade as the sun evens out your tan.

• The darker your hair color and the denser the hair area,
  the more the shadow will show even when totally smoothed out.

• The dome looks great and the shine is awesome.   Try getting a good tan and the appearance of the shadow may lessen.

• Same here.  The dreaded shadow!  A tan does seem to help.

• A little sun on the head covers mine and sorta bleaches out my natural hair color on the sides so the shadow fades a great deal.  Good luck.

• its a good shiny dome you got ther.  the shadow is just a natural thing as the other bros have said.  We all have one in varying degrees

• Hey Cincy!
  
  Welcome to SBG.  The dome looks great, man.  The shadow is part of the deal if you have dark hair, but the guys here are giving good advice.  A tan will cut it back, but take it slow and easy and use sunscreen to avoid burnin the noggin.  That isn't a good thing to do.

• As a newly minted Sly Bald Guy I will say my first few days had me wondering too. Then like the others here have said the sun evened things up a bit.
  
  At least now it doesn't look like I have Chocolate Chip Ice cream on the back & sides.
  
  Remember though....SPF 30 at least!  I use 50

• CDavid, you need to go against the grain to get as close as possible.  Going against the grain right off the bat might be too irritating, but give it a few days and it should be fine.
