I think my head is too big..

[bladio]

First off all, I begin my post saying that my english isn't the best. Sorry for that, I'm from Portugal btw. It is my 1st post so be nice to me

Well, I'm 21 and i'm starting to lose my hair. I have no problems with that.. I kinda like the look of a shaved head. But, I think my head is too big Not all the head, but I think I have a really big and large forehead. And I'm really scared about shaving it. I think my face and head will look really strange.

I always considered myself kinda cute, pretty (don't know how to say).. but with hair convering my forehead. When I try to pull back all my hair, and try to see how I would like bald, I just don't like it!!!! My head seems to be HUGE!!!

Is this a usual problem?

Sorry for my basic english, I would like to develop this subject a little more but my english doesn't allow me to do it. However, I can read perfect and I understand all you write.

thank you very much in advance. And congratulations to all of you

Welcome bladio.   After not seeing your forehead because of the hair, it is going to look large, that is natural.  I am sure you look fine.   Follow our rule of shaving it down and keeping that way for 30 days and you will see what we mean.

Welcome! It always takes time to get used to a new look. A new haircut looks odd at first before you get used to it. It's the same thing, and more so, with a shaved head. I'm sure it's going to look good. It is an experience of many that shaving tends to visually even out possible oddities.

Welcome to the Forum Bladio! I think your English is pretty darn good! Any new look will take time to get used to.... that's why we always suggest a 30 day trial period.

Are you shaved yet?

Sometimes guys think they have huge foreheads because they are balding, and that's all they see.  Once they shave, the forehead is less noticeable because their is no thinning/receding hair to be seen to 'show off' the forehead... it's all 'head.'  You'll only know when you try it, and as always, keep it for 30 days to get used to it.

The guys are right, you need to try it shaved for 30 days.  Remember, as your hair recedes, your forehead does grow, and it looks very large framed in the receding hairline and developing fringe.  Remove the hair frame, and it will balance out.  I have a HUGE head, if I wear a hat it has to be the largestt size available and that's still tight.  So the lesson is, it's not the size that matters it's how it's framed.  Shave the frame, keep it off for 30 days, and you'll be surprised how much you're going to like it and also other folks.

I too think that your english is perfectly fine. Let me just ask you this, what are you more worried about? Your thinning hair line, or the possible high forehead?

No matter what your answere the end result will still be the same!

Wecome Bladio.  Good you have you join our group.  The guys are correct.  We are our own worst critics.  Once your shaved, you will love the look and freedom.  No worries about going bald because you are now bald.  I always considered my head to be large, but strangely enough, once shaved, it Does look smaller.  Go figure?

Welcome to the forum, bladio. Follow the advice from the experts above, and you'll be VERY happy. Great to have you here!

Bladio,

You ought to post a profile picture here.  Then we would have a better way to judge.  As for myself, I have to wear the largest hat size too.  I think I rock the sly look quite well.  But I know that in the past some who have had been concerned about their looks have had their picture "balderized".  In other words, their picture with hair was altered to look like it had been shaved.  So maybe someone on here can do that for you!

Thank you guys, your words really help to be more confident and sure about what I need to do.

The guys are right, you need to try it shaved for 30 days.  Remember, as your hair recedes, your forehead does grow, and it looks very large framed in the receding hairline and developing fringe.  Remove the hair frame, and it will balance out.  I have a HUGE head, if I wear a hat it has to be the largestt size available and that's still tight.  So the lesson is, it's not the size that matters it's how it's framed.  Shave the frame, keep it off for 30 days, and you'll be surprised how much you're going to like it and also other folks.

Believe it or not, I don't use the largest size of a hat , but I still think that my forehead and the upper part of my head (i say, from the eyes up) is really big. I wish you could see when I pull my hair back.

I already uploaded my picture to my profile. Sorry i'm not with a sly head already.. but in less than an year i'll shave it to get used to it. In that day i'll take a picture to change my profile.

Thanks to all you. Really, you'r all the best

Most people worry that their heads are too big to be shaved.  It rarely, if ever, turns out to be the case.

Proof is in the pictures. Andre Agassi was the poster boy of "cute', with his flowing golden locks, which weren't golden by nature, nor even his.



The point is Agassi was cute before and according to his wife Steffi, he's still cute. I'm cute and I don't have my long locks concealing my forehead.


Listen bladio, you're far too apprehensive about this. I bet most of the guys on this board thought their foreheads were too big before they shaved their heads. I guarantee that your head is no bigger than any of the rest of the guys. So give it a shot. it's only hair and it will grow back if your not pleased with the results. Life's too short to not take a risk. Give it a go, bladio.

Bro you'll look great, you really will.  You may not consider yourself or be considered by others as "pretty" but that really isn't a bad thing.

It's a new look, for sure, but it's not a bad look.  And you know what, you have God's gift of a darker complexion, which IMO looks infinitely better with a bald head than your pasteoid brothers (me).  So you're lucky in that sense.

Honestly, you may not think you look as good as before, but it won't be bad.  

I think it is essential for us bald guys to be fairly strong and buff to go along with thetough look, so if that's something you lack, get on it.  But really, you should do that anyways, right?

Just do it and you'll never have to worry about it again.

Hi Bladio,

I think you look fine.
And as much as I can see from the picture, it doesn't look like you have a big head or forhead.

I think, that you might think its huge, because you don't normaly see it, when you wear your hair like in your picture.
So, when you take that hair away from your forehead it looks huge to you, but it really isn't huge, but just normal.

So take a risk and just do it - you might be surprised or even pleased to see how good you look - or you might need a bit of time to get used to the new look, but that shouldn't be a problem and it happens fast.

I have been wearing my hair buzzed or clippershaved for many months and I can't imagine myself with longer hair anymore and I also get more used to the shaved head - and my invironment too. ;-)

So, try it - you might like it.
