hi all…28 yrs old…hair thin and bothering me…but can't tell how id look and don't want to make mistake. i have so so many amazing things going for me, and am mostly confident but not sure how/if to pull the trigger…i am very fair skinned also…i think i will like the feel of shaving because i am an athlete and it just would seem to be easier..but i don't know. i have an amazing gf…baby on the way…a million weddings next year (including my own)..and just want to enjoy it all and not be on the fence about it..any opinions? also not sure what style facial hair would look good…this pic is me not shaving for a day and a half..comes in fast

I think your hair looks pretty good as it it right now.  However, given your facial structure, I think you would probably look very good smooth if that's something you'd like to explore (which it seems like you do).  So I would encourage you to try out the sly side of life.   Of course, if you do, you may well like it and never end up growing hair again.  But there are certainly worse things!

I agree with tobler. You look good now. Your hair is pretty short so it is easy to picture you with a buzz cut or shaved bald and I think that would look good too. I think you should try it and see what you think.

Give it a try.  I think it would look good on you.

At 28 I was sporting a full beard and a full head of hair, not overly long, but probably 2-3 inches long.  Buzzed or shaved heads was not in style. Neither were beards.

But as I have gotten older, beards have come into full style and so has the very sort buzz or shaved bald.  You have enough time between now and the wedding to explore bald or very short buzz and a beard, and still grow it back out if you don't like it.

Your beard looks like it grows in fast and full. It will look good. You'd probably do well with head shaving as well. 

For me, once I grew the beard, I kept it.  Once I shaved my head I kept it.  I like both and am sticking with them.  You could do it.

Give it a try. You look good with hair but if you really want a bald head, try it now. If you do not like it, your hair will be back within a few weeks.

I would agree with the other posts on here, give it a try, if you don't like it just stop shaving your head.

I think I may give it a try when I go to Arizona for a long weekend at the end of the month. This way I can get a little color. Wouldn't this be a good idea?

I will obviously buzz first, but does a buzz look as good with generally thinner hair or will that not look as good?

The best way to look at a buzzcut is just another haircut....If you feel better waiting until your trip to Arizona, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Gives you and the scalp time to adjust. I think you have the headshape for sly, myself.

It's always easier to try going sly for the first time when you're out of town and among strangers who have no idea how you looked before.

As for the buzz cut, whether it looks better than a clean shaven head is purely a matter of personal preference.  Buzz it down as short as you think you can tolerate and then decide if you want to go for the full shave or not.

I personally think you'd look good sly but I think the buzzcut will also look good.

I would try buzz cut first, let the full beard grow out some before you try a "style", will get an idea of what your facial hair potential and coverage is.

ok so i am going out to Arizona this Thursday night.  Thinking of doing this Friday morning.  taking it down in stages, but my top is very thin and i think a buzz won't really be an improvement..sorta expecting to have the guy buzz it down to a zero and go from there.

i have very blonde fine hair which is why i don't think a #1 or #2 will be the best option, but who knows?

i am out in Scottsdale for 4 days, it will be beautiful and sunny every day..i know ill have to be careful in the sun..but is it a bad idea to expose it?

oh..and i'm proposing to my girlfriend this weekend also

[Sir Harry]

Good luck with the haircut and congratulations on the (potential) engagement!

Your haircut looks good on you. but I think
short hair is good but a bald head is better!
