How body types affect a bald head

(1/8) > >>

Xan:
Hi there, I decided to join this forum since you all look to be a great bunch of folk that appear very helpful so I wish to ask a few queries, but first some insight on myself:
I'm 19 years old, 6'3" and my hair is thinning very, very fast. I have to admit it bothers me immensely because, Hell, I'm -19- and already I'm starting to go bald and it's getting pretty advanced and I believe it wont be able to hide it with haircuts by the time I'm 20 (in May). So I'm considering to just shave it all off and stop worrying about it. But there is one thing that is stopping me and it's my body build. See, I am fairly tall at 6'3" and I am not muscular in any standards. I have relatively broad shoulders and I'm not gaunt or anything, just not muscular, a fairly thin build. I'm worried that if I shave my head that it'll sort of show me with a long neck..Now I don't know if you can actually answer me but, would my being thin make a shaved head look bad?
I'd appreciate any advice or knowledge you can offer me.

EDIT: Also, my head is pretty egg shaped so I don't know how that will look bald. Suggest away, please!

Hi Xan,

and welcome to the forum! I'm glad you like us and that you've found our posts useful. :)

All right, as far as your enquiry is concerned:

Honestly, I don't know how you will look like with a bald head. Perhaps it would
be helpful if you posted a picture, then me and the other guys would be able to better judge it.

But besides, what really matters is whether you will like your new looks.
So, you will be the judge, not us. 

I'm quite tall myself (6'5"), and a little fat too, he he. Plus, my X used to say that my head looked like an egg - so you see, as far as the egg thing is concerned, I totally understand your concern. However, once I shaved I didn't notice anything bad about the shape of my head. It didn't look egglike. The shaven head gave me a fresh, sly and sophisticated look. And I'm enjoying that look.

As far as your long neck and your slim build is concerned, well, again, I'd have to see a picture to judge that. But it is my sincere belief that a slim build and a bald head match nicely. And as an added bonus, you'd get a slyer look (and perhaps you'll look a little more dangerous, hehe). So if you've been suffering from your looks and people thought you look kind of weak due to your slim build (I'm not saying you do, I'm just saying "if"), a shaven head will most probably resolve that.

The only honest advice I can give you, though, is: just give it a try. What do you have to lose? Besides, none of the folks here on this forum did regret the bald move. And you'll notice that we all have different skull shapes. Some have pretty round looking heads, others have edgy heads, and so on. So we all have different skull shapes. But we're all happy with our shaven heads. I hope you will too.

So, join us and become a Sly Bald Guy too!

Happy Harry

This is me taken about 5 minutes ago with my digital camera.

And this is me again with an oval around myhead to accuentate the egginess of my head.




You may all find that I don't appear to have a receding hairline at all, but a simple gust of wind (very small) will just show it right away. Also, after about an hour my hair misplaces to reveal it even more (With my middle protuding low and the sides way up high, showing the receding part)


So what do you all think? I want honest opinons.

PigPen:
Shave it, embrace the bald...lol

Seriously though, shave it. You'll be glad you did.

Xan:
Thanks for your opinion guys.
Can other people chime in their two cents as well?
