new guy needs some advice/encouragement

hey man,
I went progressively shorter with closer and closer buzz cuts.   By the time I went sly there was hardly any difference.  If I can do it, you can do it .

Jimmy, your story sounds incredibly similar to mine - only mine was 23 years ago.  At age 20, I began losing my hair and experiencing the beginning of male pattern baldness.  I opted for the hairpiece route.  I hid under one for the next 23 years.  All I can say is don't go that route.  You will never be completely unnoticed and you will worry about who is looking 24/7.

Go the sly route.  SBG can get you through it.  SBG convinced me to go sly 53 days ago and it has been the best 53 days that I can remember.  IF SBG had been around in 1984, it would have been awesome (Come on Tyler, where were you when I needed you 

As many have said, I took the bull by the horns and did things on MY terms for once.  I learned not to worry what other people think.  I am proud of my new look and so will you.  After people see you for the first time, they will not think another thing about it.  Most people when they first see you will say it looks great.  I am still getting those compliments even now.

Trust me, SLY is the look and the feel for you.  Go for it and good luck.

Man, I shaved my head on the 4th of July.  It was Indepence day from my hair and my worries over my hair.  It was independence from Rogaine and Propecia and Nizoral Shampoo and receding hairline.  It was the beginning of a new me, way stronger than I've ever felt.  Do it, you will finally accept yourself, and feel comfortable and start living life again.

I look back on pictures where I had hair, and I'm like, thats not me.  I feel streamlined cool and confident.  One thing tho, remember the 30 days rule.  Shave your head and give it 30 days.  It is something you have been very used to that you got rid of, so there will be the initial worries, but they all pass, and than their is a happier stronger, better looking you.

Friends have told I look way better, girls have told me I'm cuter, and I wasn't even really bald.  Another thing, get some sun (PATIENTLY, if not you can burn bad), and it'll look even better.

Just do it, trust me.

Sorry, I didn't get my first computer until I was 10.  That was in 1987 -  Plus, Al Gore didn't invent the internet until much later.

Welcome Jimmy.  Like others have said, try buzzing it down a little at a time at first if you're worried about how it may look.  Then go for the sly look and it won't a shock to you.
