Trying to figure out if it's good or bad?
« on: November 25, 2011, 07:10:04 PM »
Hey people, well to cut a long story short -
I started losing my hair 3 years ago, really noticed it from August last year and has continued so lately I have been getting it cut short. I've been trying to judge peoples opinions in the street but they're hard to read.

Question is do you think having a shaved head suits me? or not? (photo attatched.

Welcome, Arrow! If you're looking for objectivity you came to the wrong forum, lol. You look like a young confident executive on his climb up the ladder of success. Good luck with the BBC look.

I dont see where you would have any problem rockin a bald head and some face fuzz. Shave that head down to the wood add some facial hair and see what you think. If you like it fantastic, if not go back to the old you which is fine as well. Luckily you have options. O0

Looks better than a Bozo Ring or combover, it will look great when you carry the whole effect with conviction and pride.

I was in the same position as you one month ago... Reading the forum posts here convinced me that I should just go for it! I am bald and content now.

I'll just say that you should remember that hair always grows back! So if you think your new look doesn't suit you, you just need to wait for 4-5 days before it grows back.

try a buzz haircut and you'll see
then shave it off, it'll grow if you don't like it!
be who you are, say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter

From the pic, it's obvious it would look great. Trying to gauge people's reactions won't get you very far. Our brains do a great job of interpreting things how they see fit. If you are calm and confident, your brain will interpret reactions accordingly. Same for if you are insecure and self-conscious, your brain will find a way to put a negative spin on almost every reaction. Jump in all the way, make a commitment, embrace the 30 days. There is a good chance it will completely change your life.

I agree with Slynito.... You look like a confident young guy. If yhou are worrying about your hair loss then shave it off and keep that confidence at it's peak! 30 day rule!!!!!!

Hey,  Arrow!

The brothers are giving you good advice.  You look fine, but you would look great with a shaved dome.  Why not go for it and try the 30-day deal.
One thing is for sure, the hair loss will continue.   I think you will end up embracing the chrome dome and wonder why you waited so long!   :)
