Would almost look perfect bald, but..

[iiff]

My skull is really oddly shaped in the back. Or maybe it's not that bad. Guys tell me what you think, is it really that bad? Or am I just being hypercritical? I'm thinking if it's not as noticeable as I think I'll just keep my hair at this length!

Hello there!
No matter how thoroughly I look at your pictures, I cannot notice anything extraordinary. Everyone has a different shape of skull, there is no such a thing as "skull form standard" :}
Yeah, most people are quite hypercritical to themselves.

[Laser Man]

You're being too critical of yourself.  My head isn't much different than yours in back.  In six months no one has ever mentioned it and even if someone did, it wouldn't matter!

[iiff]

Thanks for the answers friends. What do you think about the length it's at right now? I'm thinking of keeping it like this or maybe going one size shorter.. I don't know if I could go sly just yet..

(I might consider it if I had better facial hair growth, but it's pretty scant down there)

[Laser Man]

Looks good as is.  My advice would be to go shorter and see how you like it.  Ultimately you should give sly a try - I think you'd like the look and feel.

I would recommend that you should go just one size shorter; a too drastic change would likeably make you even more insecure.

Take it down...or why not just try SLY?

If you don't like it, it will grow back...but chances are you will love being SLY!!!

I wouldn't worry about head shape at all...most people are super critical of themselves when they are at the same point you are.

[iiff]

Yeah I like the idea of going one size shorter. Maybe sly is in the not too distant future for me, but not quite yet. Baby steps, right?

Welcome, you've come to the right place for support and advice.


From what your pictures show, you're around a 3 to a 4 and it's probably time to let go.  MPB does not reverse--it's a progression and the end game is 7.  So your choice really is take control, shave it off or let Mother Nature do it her way, hair, by hair, by hair.  Most here will attest that getting rid of the dying mop is the most liberating thing they've done.  It's time, check out the shaving tips and be free.

Do you guys think I've got a good face for sly?

[LibraryMichael]

Yes, you do have a good face and head for sly. Go for it! You're among friends here.

[DCdome]

Do the bald thing.  You're going to like the way you look.

[Paul the Headblader]

that won't be a problem.
and, welcome to sbgs.

[Slyfive]

I think it'd look great man!

[marty22]

welcome and yes.
