Hi guys!My name is Milan and i am 27 yrs old ,and i am from Croatia so my english will probably be bad but i will do my best to make you guys easier to understand me ,this forum has more than once saved my life -you see i am BDD sufferer i just wanted to show appreciation to all off you especially SaintC and the other that have been involved in topics about lets say larger head then "average"you guys gave me strenght and i saw that i am not the only on with a head on the larger side i am 187cm tall and 60,5 (not sure maybe even 61cm head circumference ) ,i started loosing hair in highschool and last year i shaved my head and since then i have been doing it -but still it is not easy i hate taking pictures guess because of my BDD so guys please don't ask me to show you my pictures .I am still sometimes kinda obsessed with my head size and all over internet i can read statements like buzzing or shaving is not for us with bigger heads ...So Thank you guys for your support,you guys are the best !

Wonderer, welcome.
Although I am not you, I don't think you should have any concerns about head size. Every weekend I see hundreds of Bald guys - of all shapes and sizes or heads and/or bodies. None of them are unattractive.
I'm glad the forums and the guys here have been helpful, and I hope you will stay connected and share more of yourself (even without a photo).
Best to you as you continue being Sly.

Frankly I've never seen any of that--and even with a melon that barely gets into a 64cm motorcycle helmet I don't think I care.

Welcome, Wonderer! One of the best things about this site is meeting people who may be concerned about their head size/shape or whatever. That's part of the fun of this site, meeting people and hearing stories..99% of the guys here have something about their head that they wish they could change...but sometimes it's the imperfections that make our heads uniquely ours....You're gonna be ok, man....Good Luck with whatever you decide!

To be honest, I think that buzzing/shaving makes heads appear smaller rather than larger.

Ok guys now i need to be completely honest i have this BDD fixation on my head size and slight facial asymmetry -my left cheek is a bit thicker then right (this sounds stupid i know

) and i've been through some rough days long story short my mother need heart transplantation and this is affecting me to the point when i think cant go on with life (but don't worry guys i am holding and need to be support for her i know )so in this stress my anxiety increases and with it my thoughts about facial symmetry and my stupid head and than i think that i am most selfish creature ever walked on Earth when in this situation i think about my obsessions i am going to psycho therapy and taking some meds to make it easier to cope with depression i feel

You're in my prayers, brother....We're here to support you, and we wish you and your mother well, but as far as the BDD, you have to find the confidence from within to get past that. Keep us posted, we're here!

I'm not offended--just pointing out you really must be digging to find something I've never seen, and I do mean never. No one's ever pointed out or made any remarks about the size of my head. And, believe me, no one's looking at yours either. This from someone who knows and has a bigger head than you do. Put a line under any worry about your head size--it just isn't there! And, finally, the only time I have to think about it is if I want a hat--really hard to find one that fits--or another helmet for my motorcycle--then it's a real challenge too. But I do find hats and helmets--so there are enough of us with big heads to "make a market" for the size, i.e. a whole lot of people, we're not that special at all, except of course what we're able to do with all the extra brains we carry around.

I think I have a small head, but no one seems to notice or care. Finding hats that fit me are tough, although hats are made for people with hair...and hair adds a lot to the size of your head.
My mom even told me that I had a small head (after I shaved my head), but she hates shaved heads, so that's probably why. No one else has mentioned or said anything. My mom is kind of vain when it comes to appearance, so I know it's best to ignore her comments.
To the original poster: there is no perfect size head. Some are big, some are small, but they are both "normal." Don't fret over it. And no one is perfectly symmetrical; we're all human and have physical flaws.
Keep your head up, and get the treatment you need.

i also hope my brother and somehow i see an opportunity in this... you know if all goes well she will live (even a chance is still better than none) and i am sure that she will be just fine ,it just shows you that nothing is certain in this life and we take our lives for granted i did(and perhaps still do ) for one .....
