Pondering Staying Bald
«

March 30, 2016, 11:07:30 PM »
I shaved my head about 3 weeks ago. I don't have thinning hair, I just wanted to see what it would look like. It's grow a decent amount, however I think I want to shave it off again including the beard, which I did shave off a week after. I'm just afraid I look too similar to a neo-Nazi.

I wouldn't worry about it. The whole "skinhead" thing is in the past. And besides, shaved heads are now very mainstream. Lot of guys, including myself, are Bald By Choice.
A shaved head is just another haircut. That is how people perceive it these days.

shaved heads are indeed fairly comm0m these days, becoming more mainstream. I have always like having little or no hair even many years ago.

The bald head suits you. Give it a full 30 days before deciding.

I agree with the gentlemen before me, the negative stigma of the bald head has faded away.
If you like your head shaved, that is all that matters.

Completely agree, all you really need to change is to trim that beard. The only difference is i think you should maintain it trimmed. Redheads look best with neatly trimmed beards or no facial hair in my opinion. But keep the shaved head. You rock that look other than the aforementioned suggestions about your beard.

The main thing is to do what YOU want to do. However, I suggest you give the shaved head a 30 day trial before making a decision. As for the beard, either trim it or let it grow long. Now, it is in the "in between" stage.
My other suggestion, you are young and have no reason not to alternate styles, live with them for some time, and settle in to what you like best. Your head hair may not last long, so if you want to try a hair style, do it now while you still can. As to the beard, have fun with it. It will only get thicker as you age.

The bald head really suits you. Like the others have said, trim the beard up a little and you'll have a good look.

My beard used to be close to the color of your beard. I agree on the other's comments about the beard.
Head looks great. Give it a full 30 days before you decide. Some color will come in. You and friends/family will have some time to adjust. I'm BBC, too. It took awhile to come to terms with my new look. I was committed to staying bald, but realizing that the guy in the mirror with no hair on top didn't jibe with my view of myself for several months. Now, it's just me.
Bald is very common around here. I see many bald or nearly bald guys every day. And I see many bald guys on TV /movies/billboards. They all reinforce my decision to shave my head.
Enjoy being bald. Good choice.

I think you look great bald, like mentioned maybe a little beard trim and your good to go. As far as the whole bald thing in general I don't see it as a big deal. I feel I see as many bald dudes as ones with hair. Possibly I just notice the slick ones more but at any rate there are plenty of them out there so you are not to feel alone. You know what they say "real men grow hair on their face, not their head". Well maybe they don't say that, it's not important. Just do what makes you feel good about yourself. That's really all that matters. Enjoy!

Another vote for keeping it sly and trimming the beard. Welcome!

Welcome. All the others are on the money, keep it and give yourself time to get used to it. If anythiing, do as suggested with the beard or try different beard styles with it for a change up.

I'd say if you like it keep it. One of the best parts of being bald is the summer weather. You'll love the way the sun and warm breezes feel. You can always grow it back any time. Like everyone else said, trim up the beard and you'll be rocking the look.
