Thinning age 20 - need honest opinions on head shape!

• Thinning age 20 - need honest opinions on head shape! by popperkarl on 26 Nov, 2011 18:38
• Hey guys, really impressed with the positivity on this forum, inspired me to get some opinions on my head as I'm thinking about shaving it the near future!
  
  I've been blessed (or cursed depending on my mood) with a massive head, with a big protruding forehead too. If you guys could give some honest opinions on how it'd look shaved then I'd be very grateful.
  
  Many thanks

• There is nothing massive or remotely abnormal a out your head.

• Being the proud owner & displayer of a melon that qualifies as XXL, measuring 64cm, your's has a way to go to get there--it's not in the big leagues to be very frank about it.    Nice try, but that's not an excuse to not try sly.

• Thanks for the kind words - I guess it is mostly a body image problem, although I do have a very big head... I just measured it at 61cm, so not too far off of your XXL bonce 
  
  My head is the butt of jokes from my friends, I guess it looks bigger because my body is relatively small... Gotta bulk up before I get all sly!
  
  Thanks

  Well, don't feel bad if you're not the biggest melon in the patch, but also, don't use anything as an excuse to avoid slipping into a combover or bozo ring.  Big, small, whatever size the melon--it always looks better slick and sly rather than aging with a fringe, bozo ring, whatever.  You're not so far along the mpb path that you have to do it now, but you are far enough along to try it--and never have to slip into a "balding" look.  And, whatever is still growing (face it some is dropping out everyday) will come back if, after 30 days, you don't prefer the sly look.  Go for it--no more excuses.

• I agree with all the posts here, there is no problem with the shape of your head. You are meant to show it off with pride.

• Welcome. I'm sure bald will work for you when you're ready. It's not as scary as you might thing. And the initial process is fun/exhilarating.

• Like the guys are saying, you look just fine.  You do have a receding hairline with a widow's peak so in the long run you probably will want to shave the dome.  You could do it now and I think you would rock the look.

• I don't see it either...I think you could leave your hair as is or try BBC it'll look good either way. It's up to you.
