I can't make myself do it!

[Demoman Dawkins]

I pretty much hate my hair, but I don't want to shave it off for the fear that my head'll look dodgy. I've been asking quite a bit about my head shape and I've gotten mixed comments. I still don't know whether it's right for me. Can someone just give me a definite yes or no based on my head shape? I'm lost.

I mainly care about what my friends will think. I don't want them staring and poking my head, lol.

But even without that, if you care more about what your friends will think than you care about hating your hair, then keep it. Or, you could grow a pair and do what you want for a change.

What's your priority?

Btw, welcome!

Well, your current hairstyle doesn't look bad from that angle. Why do you hate it? But talking about the shape of your head, I see nothing strange.

[Demoman Dawkins]

I hate my high hairline. Simple.

[D.A.L.U.I.]

Well, I think you have to face the fact that the high forehead seems to indicate that you've got the mpb gene and will eventually lose you hair--nothing reasonable to do about it.
Once you get the to the point you look more bald than hair if you don't like it--lather up, clean up and get over the problem and move on with life.

Check out some of the 'bald' groups on Facebook.  There are hundreds of young bald British guys your age and they look way cool.

Try a close buzz first it that's an easier was to see if your like the look.

I agree with RED.  If you want to see what it's going to be like before you go FULL BALD, get it cut real close with a pair of clippers.  I did that for a couple of years before I decided to go all the way.  Also, if your friends are going to make fun of you for changing your hair style then they probably aren't very good friends. IMHO.  Just go for it.  You will never care if you have hair again.  It is such a liberating feeling.   Good Luck in what ever you decide.

[Demoman Dawkins]

Nah, they ARE good friends. They just enjoy giving people a hard time when they change. Especially if they don't expect it. I've also had really short hair in the past, but never really payed attention to what I looked like until I noticed my hairline.

Shave yr head, make a goatee, buy a cool pair of sunglasses and send the "friends" to hell... 

Check Culwings images in Before & After gallery (I think that you have the same shape), his sly look is really amazing!

Can I possibly have a link?

Firstly Welcome from another UK sly. 

I too had a vey high hair line and I also have a very lumpy head.  I just shaved it to try things out, and I liked being bald. Despite having a few reservations and the  fact that a few people gave a surprised reaction I liked it. I grew my hair back - my hair grows very quickly, but after about 2 weeks or so I got fed up not being bald so cut my hair with clippers with no guard on, but that was too much hassle so I started shaving again.  I haven't looked back since.

My advice is give it a go and remeber the '30 day rule'.  You can always grow your hair back, but my own experience (and reading that of others ) means that I won't go back to growing my hair any more !

Never knew BB to mince words (which I prefer).
That being said, I have to agree with him, Demoman.

Man, your head shape is fine.  Oddly enough, no different than anyone else.  We all have our own thoughts about what is wrong with our bodies.  We are our own worst critics.  You seem to have shaving on your mind, so what is holding you back?  Do it and get over the worries once in for all.  I'll bet once shavings is done, you will make the same statement the rest of us have said, "Why didn't I do it sooner"!
