Hey Guys,
So I live in Pittsburgh, PA and I had a buddy that decided to shave his head. He had a great skull for it (nicely rounded with no huge bumps, etc). So I'm actually the one who shaved his head for him. Afterwards we could tell it was a mistake as something that I didn't realize was that his eyebrows were just too light a shade and it almost appeared like he had no eyebrows at all. The strange thing is that we couldn't see it at the time. Once we shave his head the floodgates opened
Since I had reviewed too many pictures of bald guys (its pretty crazy the amount of bald guy pictures under google images) and heres what I found:
1. People with blonde eyebrows should think twice about going completely sly without some sort of dying of the brows. I would recommend a close shaven (think Jason Stratham) for maximizing your bald look.
2. Brown and Black are usually a safe bet for a bald head... again, the more color to offset the bald head the better off you are
3. Grey works as well depending on the thickness of the brow and the shade of grey.
If you have light eyebrows, don't sweat it.. might just be better suited for a close shaven look.
Take it for what its worth. Send me a pm and i'll send you the rest of the findings if interested.

I would have to disagree. I have very light eyebrows (wish they were darker) but I will never give up my slyness just because I don't have much eyebrows.

BaldDaniel, LOL

By the way, Your look is very clean, neat... and the bald look really suits you... I never even noticed that your eyebrows are hardly visible.

I disagree aswell, that is a stupid statement IMO. I know loads of men with light eyebrows and they look perfectly normal. I know men who shave there brows off completely and it suits them. Everyone is different. It's not just your brows it's to do with your face shape and complexion etc

No problem mate.

Point proven lol. They are good looking men and they suit it a lot, yet they both have quite fair eyebrows. (not dark)

LOL..
Guys, Guys.. dont take offense obviously there is going to be exceptions. Bald Daniel, you obviously don't have that problem but you also have a lot going for you as well. You seem to be in shape, you have a nice head with what looks like no problems and you have a soft face. I'm not judging i'm just posing some things to look out for.
Also - Light is a relative term right? Like say from Mark H's picture below. But Mark H.'s eyebrows are not exactly "light". Notice they have a decent twinge of brown in them.
The point is that your eyebrows ARE a factor, and people looking to shave their heads completely sly should take that into consideration.
Also i'm not overtly against criticism.. you can catch my ugly mug at

I have very light eyebrows as well. You can see them when up close, but not much from a distance. The nearly clear color kind of bothered me when I had brown hair. Now that I'm sly, I think they look a bit better, although I still wouldn't mind a hint of color in them. I think the sly look improves most features, the eyebrows were no exception.

Eyebrows have been a thread in the past...a couple SBGz mentioned that they shave them off. I trim mine to make them less wild.
And yes I agree that Waine has brows to envy, fer sure.

I trim mine on occasion, but as a "brotha" I think I need to keep my eyebrows somewhat thick....As for everyone else, I never really pay attention to the thickness of their eyebrows, Sly goes with just about everything, IMO.
