waiting till summer to go sly

• hey guys,im new to this site and this is my intro
  
  im turning 18 in august and am a senior in highschool, my hairline started to recede at 17 and now its receded a little to give me a slightly larger forehead and some areas with only peach fuzz at the temples. i'v only gotten 2 comments on it by two guys both saying they thought i was balding. im not attached to my hair but i beleive in self improvement through-out your life so i eat healthy and also do some bodybuilding( im pretty popular as the strong kid lol,hopefully a nice body will help me pull the sly look off   ). and i like to live life to the fullest because you might die tommorow and miss out on somthing. im fully syrian and on my mothers side there is only some balding on my uncles except one fully bald one, on my fathers side almost everybody was fully bald at 25. most of my cousins went sly so i dont think it will be hard for me to fit in. i do have a slightly larger nose due to me being arabic lol and am hoping this wont be pronounced when i shave.i used to cut my hair short(#3) but when i started receding i decided to let it grow until im done with highschool.
  
  you guys have really helped me get some confidence,and i hope being sly so young doesent change things too much for me. girls dont notice it now only the guys weirdly enough lol .
  
  thank you

• Your balding isn't apparent from the photos.  You won't have to worry about it now or when you're 18.  But you can always try it as an alternative "hairvut" style or just buzz it tighter if that let's you feel better--that's what it's all about, you and being happy with the way you look.

• Welcome SS!  Doesn't look too bad to me, but I say do what you want to. After all, it is your head.

• I don't see where your going bald from those pics.  However, the sly look is very popular with all ages now, so just go for it.  You will be a natural for the look.
  
  Good Luck

• thanks for your support guys, i think it may be a little bit worse than the pictures show and those are kinda of old.
  
  but anyway,now that i signed up i wont be such a lurker and will try to add my own input until i put up the historical(for me at least lol) post with pics of my shaved dome.
