So about a year ago, I started noticing a receding hairline and a balding patch on top of my head. Despite this, I still sported the same old haircut I have always had, but had to frantically cover it up more and more throughout the year. And looking at my dad's head, I knew that I'd end up with a "horseshoe" on my head in a few years. So today, I did it; almost. I didn't clean shave it, but buzzed it all off with a #0 clipper. I never cared that much about my hair, but when looking into the mirror, it was as if a stranger was looking at me lol. Definitely not the Bruce Willis or Jason Statham I was expecting... It feels good, but looks so weird. But I couldn't care less... Better to shave it off now and get used to it, and save myself from future anxities.  :D

I won't start shaving it for awhile, as I got a few hectic months in the military infront of me back home. Thinking of trying to sport a semi-mohawk while I'm there, unless the balding patch on the top ruins that. So here I am after some months of reading/stalking on this board. 18 Years old, next to no hair, and... Hello!

(Strangely, my skin looks extraordinarily pink in the picture...)

Another welcome, and kudos for taking action now rather than enduring years of aggravation. You'll adjust to the look, as will everyone else. Makes life so easy.

Hope you'll stick around and post updates as you settle into the Sly world.

Hey Swing, thanks for finally sayin' hello. Of course in time, it won't "look weird" anymore. Your age doesn't matter. As long as you look and feel confident about it, it's all good. Glad to have you aboard.

Well said! I just wanted to point this out for those who are losing their hair and are still on the fence about shaving bald. Don't be afraid to nip it in the bud, which is how I personally believe all of life's problems should be handled.
