I'm totally with you, jdon.  I enjoy my shaves and find them quite relaxing.  And it's fantastic never having bad hair days again...

DOC_OSMC:
Go for it!  Stick to the 30 day challenge and you'll find that you will like it.  Grow the beard thicker and you'll have a winning combination!

slybeard:
Let your beard gain some length and keep the head shaved - its an good look, and easy to maintain.

First off let me say that I am happy I found a site like this. I have been reading through the forum for some time and it has helped ease my sudden loss of confidence with my thinning out/balding head.

Since this is my first post here I feel like some background on myself is necessary. I am 23 years old and I have been slowly losing my hair over the past few years. But within the past year I have been losing it more rapidly as photos of myself over time serve as a documentation of the progress.

Over several weeks I just kept telling myself to just have it off already and I eventually did down to a three. Yet that only made it much worse as it is now more obvious that I am thinning out noticeably in the front and some in the back. To make matters worse I keep trying to boost my self confidence by thinking I can rock the shaved head look yet everyone I've admitted this to, more or less, tells me the opposite.

I've never really been that self conscious about my hair loss since I've been chalking it up to that its genetics and there isn't much I can do about it at this point yet now that it has become impossible to hide I have become extremely self conscious. I know I shouldn't be because I've had several friends face this issue which for them become unnoticeable because they become confident in themselves despite struggling with the same issue. Yet I am having a lot of trouble doing the same.

At this point my self consciousness has been high because of the recent decision I have made. I do have good sprees of just thinking 'oh who cares anyway' yet I always randomly will go back to being very self conscious again.

I know I am moving in the right direction but does anyone have some advice for someone in my position?
