Just took the dive, now in need of encouragement
« on: October 21, 2010, 08:45:19 AM »
Hey everyone,

I just shaved my head for the first time and I am feeling extremely self conscious. I am not sure if I made a mistake doing this and really cannot image facing the world right now with my bald head. I posted on this forum earlier this month about how I am starting a new job on the 25th and that the hiring manager was sly, but I really don't know if he will care very much for my head. I know my hair wasn't great before, but I could hide it half way decently with topix. Please let me know what you guys think and whether you think I should just work on growing it back.. Thanks for the input..

Sorry about the photo quality, all I had was my webcam available.

1000% improvement.  Keep it Sly.  You'll get used to it.  Shave everyday for 30 days.

You're looking good sly, but you have to get used to your new look, that's what the 30 days are for. For many, it doesn't even take that long. Keep it sly - it's worth it. 8)

It looks good and completely normal on you.  Be thankful you look great with a sly dome!

A definite improvement !

It looks so much better than the before pic. It takes a while for you and others to get use to the new look. Give it the 30 days before you decide what you like, I think sly will win out. O0

I am prejudice, but....SLY is the way for you--in my opinion.  My opinion, as my X wife says, is stupid....My X wife, in my opinion, is STUPID.  Dude, you really look much better SLY.  Life is s-h-o-r-t.....do what you want and BE HAPPY!  SLY!!

It looks really good on you!  As someone who is fairly new to being sly, I can tell you that it took me probably two to three weeks of the first month to get totally used to the new look. 

It's a significant change, but trust me, you are more uncomfortable about it than anyone else in your life probably is.

Keep it up for a month and you'll grow to love it unequivocally.
