oval head shape
« on: May 01, 2014, 10:44:13 AM »
HI everyone... I just want to ask that will it look good if a person has an oval face shape who is considering to shave his head. I want to shave my head but scared... what if it doesn't look good with all the acne scars. Then if will have to wait for 1-2 moths to go back to normal. Please advice.

Glad you joined us, Max236.

My head is oval shaped. I like being smooth. I don't think there is any particular shape that looks bad
bald.

Changing your look can be scary. I thought about it for a few months before I shaved everything off. I never have regretted dong it. Once they have shaved, most guys ask themselves why they waited so long to do it.

The only way you really will know if you like it is just to do it.

Just saw you added you picture.

Try wetting or oiling your hair and slicking it back against your scalp. It will give you an indication of how your head's shape looks.

I have a very round face, I think shaving my head made it look less round.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

I have a narrow, oval face.  I LOVE being bald!  Also, as your scalp gets used to the sun, it will tan and the skin tone will even out over your entire head covering any blemishes.  Give it a shot!!  (Its only hair...)

My advice is to make step by step...When you take the decision to start,first cut your hair....each time shorter. Maybe for first time you like more to trim your hair...to let something black up there :)
When went to my barber i said to him "zero". He look at me and said me "are you sure? Ok"
Then after little time he said me..."we finished"  but i saw that still didnt have zero :) and later...same like you see me now.
I think your head shape is good and dont needed to affraid...is just hairs :)

A lot of guys worry about head shape and certain facial features, but the truth is you can grow into any look and make it work for you. It's all about self-confidence and learning to be comfortable in your own skin. Anyway, I can picture you with a shaved head based on your photo. Think it would look great.

I tend to think most guys look decent to very good shaved.  You never really know unless you try however.  As others have said, you could always try a close buzz first.  It will give you a good sense of your head shape and may be a little less daunting than going from the rather full head of hair that you're sporting right now.

I think you have the facial hair and head shape for sly if you wanted to do it....

I sort of have an oval head shape. Used to bug me, kind of bugs me sometime.

Most importantly, I know it's in my own head and I doubt 99% of people noticed it.
