Need everyone's opinion

[Swolfe]

Hey guys,

This is my first post here and I was wondering if you guys could give me honest opinion if you think I'll be able to pull of the sly look.

I'm 24 years old and I've slowly been loosing my hair since I was 18. I still have quite a bit of hair left but I'm worried I won't be able to pull off the shaved head when the inevitable happens. I feel my head all the time and I can tell my head isn't completely smooth. I feel a lump on top of my head and in the back... I'm just hoping they aren't to noticeable.

Thanks!

You will look fine and I say go ahead and try the head shave and beat the inevitable. It is your choose in the end and don't worry about the lump on your head we all have something like that on our head but it gives us characteristics and makes us different hope it goes well for you.

PS: I am in high school shave my head full time now and absolutely love it and I think you will too

You may no be ready for this site--yet!

We are our own worst critics. Everyone has lumps on their head, but usually the owner oh the head is the only one who notices.

You have enough hair, yet, that you could give sly a try. 30 day minimum. If you really don't like it, you could grow it back.  But a bald head, smooth as can be, is wonderful. See all the young bald guys on this site.

Its fine. I shave every morning. I have thick hair that is thinning. Plus I have a small receding hairline. I manage to pull it off and I'm 14. I'm sure my little story was unnecessary but to get to the point.... you will be fine! Embrace it and you will feel a lot better about yourself. You wont have to worry about the stress of thinking to yourself "I cant go bald, I love my hair" or some thing like that. You will realize that it will eventually fall out anyway.

Swolfe, you will look great with a bald head. Hair is gross-ly overrated!

I was an old long-haired hippy for forty years before I scraped off a full head of hair to get my scalp tattooed about 3 1/2 years ago. After I shaved it, I knew I was bald for life. I don't know how much I still have up there but it is still too much! I wish it would all fall out, except my 'stache and a bit of beard!

Free of the mess and tyranny of hair! my advise: never get another haircut. Always use a razor. Now would be the perfect time

Welcome aboard! As we always say, give it a try; if you don't like it, it can always grow back!

Dude, just try a simple buzz for a while and see if you can notice the bumps with short hair. I have bumps too, but they don't matter very much. IMO, very few people can't pull being bald.

+ 1 give it a go!

You have nothing to worry about. You have a good head shape and still appear to have great hair. I'd say keep the hair until the baldness becomes noticeable (diffuse thinning or emerging bald spot in back of head) and then get a buzz cut. In the time being, enjoy your hair while you have it, and don't worry about your head shape––you'll totally be able to go bald gracefully.

[bennett11]

like some others try buzzing it and see if you like it.

Welcome !  I would buzz it first    Please keep us advised.

Welcome to the forum.
I don't see anything that could stop you pulling of the look, so if you're thinking about it then go ahead.

[Swolfe]

Thanks guys! Yeah really the only thing I'm worried about when the day comes is the imperfections on my skull. Mainly the one on top of my head, it seems like the bump runs along the center of my skull from the back to the central part of my head. I just hope it's not noticeable when the day comes.

No one will notice only it as long as you don't worry about it
