Help! Abnormal Head Shape...

[JasonR]

Ok...so I'm 22...and I shave my head with the #0 guard. I'm over having hair, and I don't mind being bald, but my head shape is driving me crazy. I feel like I have to wear a hat all the time...and I would really like to bear my bald head everywhere. Is there any type of surgery that can be done to "correct" my head shape? It really bothers me, and like I said, I feel the need to wear a hat everywhere. I've attached a pic to show you what I mean. The graphic isn't perfect...but it gets the point across. If I had a normal head (not bumpy!!) I would bare my head proudly.

Any ideas, suggestions, or a direction to go in would be great. If you know of any doctors I can talk to/see that'd be really helpful!

welcome to SBG's Jason..try not to dwell on head shape, alot of us got some misshaped heads ...just another thing we have to deal with and accept....unless you dont mind going through brain surgery and spending a couple hundred thousand....are you really going bald(dont say your temples are receding lol) or just shaving because you think its cool?

Before you do anything drastic, ditch the cap for a month to see how it feels.  I'm sure you'll find that nobody cares about the shape of your head but you.

Here's a guy with a less-than-perfect-shaped head - Dr. Joshua Perper, the medical examiner in Broward County, Florida.  He was thrust into the limelight during the Anna Nicole Smith case.

Like the others have stated, try not to dwell on it too much.  I'm sure it's only "in your head."  No pun intended.  But seriously, give it a try for a while without the hat and I'm sure you'll realize it's no big deal.  Plus would you really want to go to an extreme such as surgery and have something worse happen?  Post a real pic so we can see exactly what you're talking about.

Tylers right man heads come in all shapes and sizes and honestly most look fine sly.

However if you are concerned then post a pic and we can give you our honest impression. As for head imperfections I have a flat spot on the back of mine (makes for a pain when I shave LOL, but it's behind me so I don't sweat it.

GL with your decision man

I've got a funky head shape, but I say it just fits my personality.......kinda warped.

You said it!

I doubt if your head is anywhere near as bad as you think. I just think it is another one of those things that we have to accept about ourselves, that we think is important, but no one else could care less about. None of us have that perfect shape, whatever that is! I am sure you will look just great.  Hang in there.

Is there such a thing as a perfect head shape?  I'd be willing to bet we can all point out things we don't like about ourselves.  Let it fly for a week or two.  Besides if you elected for some radical surgery, I'm sure you'd have a scar that you wouldn't be able to hide if you were Sly as well.

I'll dig up a picture..I don't have many without a hat. i know it's not just in my head because a few people have commented on it. I don't mind being bald, but I just want to have a decent looking head like everyone else has! Then I could let go of my hats!

I wouldn't mind a scar...that's not a big deal to me. Does anyone know who I could talk to or where to go!? BTW the graphic is a profile view of my head...if there was any misunderstanding.

[Tyler]

Hey bro, now that I know it's your profile view, I know that you can rock the sly look for sure!  I've seen several guys that have that shaped head from a profile view and they rock it hardcore! 

[Argyle]

The thing that strikes me is that you are already using no guard so nothing will change if you go sly.  I agree with the others, there are things that everyone hates about the way they look.  Sometimes when I am having an insecure moment i ask myself whether or not what i am insecure about would be any different if i had hair?  Most often not, hair or lack of it can form a useful scapegoat at times. 

That said, I do appreciate where you come from I also have a bump in the middle of my head, not quite as pronounced as the image you posted, but it would be interesting to see a real pic.  I notice it, and at times feel paranoid about it, but no one else has said anything. 

To be honest (and sorry for the rambling!!) I think that most people prefer being sly than they did before, no matter how bad they may perceive they will look i think without exception sly is better than balding!  Since I have gone sly, yes I have had the odd comment about being bald at 28, but then i fight back with the fact that i can wear a hat if i want whereas they would look stupid in a mask, generally shuts people up!  But in the main it makes me laugh at work when people see pics of me before on the work server and most people dont say, god dont you look different, or didnt you look good, they generally say how weird it is to see me with hair!!  So in summary I am saying that people will get used to anything including you i believe.

I have the same little dip in my noggin on the profile view, don't sweat it!
