Hello guys... Do I have the right type of head to be bald? by goingbald20 on 01 Apr, 2012 23:47

Hey all, my name is George... I am 20 years old, and I have been seriously thinking about shaving my head.
Losing my hair has become very stressful during the past 3 weeks because it is when I have noticed that the top of my head is almost completely "white".
I am feeling a little bit depressed and have not been going to clubs, parties or anything like that for the past 2 months. I mean I used to be the guy with highest confidences in high school and my freshmen year at college, always around girls and being the "cool" type of guy... but lately I have been feeling as if going bald is taking away that "power" that I used to have of being the cool and popular guy, and I all I want to do lately is to stay home.
I have been following shybaldguys.com, since the beggining of 2011 when I started to notice the speed up in my hair loss, and since then I started to consider probably getting my head shaved.
I have been debating with myself and with friends about shaving my head, since I feel that the time has come, my best friends think that I should not ( they all have full head of hair). My mother thinks that I should start using Rogaine or Fortalex Pt.... My dermatologist wants to prescribe me Propecia.
And what do I think? Well, I honestly want to give it a try and shave my head.
HOWEVER, the problem is that I feel as if I dont have the right type of head in order to be bald.
Please, give me your honest opinion.
I dont look to happy with this situation as you can see in the pictures, But I honestly feel that in the front view won't look too bad.
However, from the profile view (either left or right) the story is different.
I dont know, now that I have less hair, and when I look at my head from a profile view I feel as if my head is like tilted foward? Or maybe do I look like I have a receding/weak chin? I dont know, this whole balding process is seriously taking me down
I'm either considering taking propecia, Rogaine or shaving it all off.
What do you guys think? please, give me your honest opinion.
I would really appreciate it!

You'll look great bald! Please don't make the mistake of filling your body with those toxic chemicals, they have serious long term effects. The profile always seems strange to the person who's head it is, but not to anyone else.

Nature is leading the way.
Remember when your beard/mustache was just starting to grow. It strange. You shave it off, until you can grow one nice and thick. Then it looks good. Well, this is in reverse. Your hair on top is thinning. It's time to shave it to look better. You have an ideal head for the sly look. Take the lead and shave it bald. All angles will look good.

Thanks for posting pics and asking for advice while dealing with premature MPB. I agree with bennett11 and Slyfive, buzz it very tight and get used to that look and then go for the lather and razor smooth look. Long term usage of stuff like Rogaine is bad choice ! We all have unique headshapes / facial features / body builds. SMILE ... life is still worth while ... hair is over rated.

Hey,
Yes you should shave it. Don't worry what other people think and don't take all those drugs. You have been thinking about it, so just do. Remember Bald is Bold.

Do you want to use Rogaine and take Propecia for the rest of your life ?
And with Propecia you might get the sexual side effects
Honestly , your head shape looks great
You can rock that look or go a little shorter if you want , no need to go sly just yet
And FWIW , Im not sly , I m debating cutting all mine off after having a HT 12 yrs ago but I have a scar to deal with and a really white head

Definitely stay away from the Rogaine etc. If you are unhappy with the way things are now, go for it. You will find that self confidence will replace the anxiety you feel now. It will look fine.

Shave the dome and find out what that is like. You are lucky because it is the perfect time of the year to do it. Soon you'll be seeing lots more guys sportin the sly look for the summer. So go for it!
