Hey guys hows it going?  Well it's been an interesting and long road getting here but Im happy I went through with it.. I had a horrible receding hairline, I mean bad.  I started balding and thinning around age 15, by 18/19 it was getting very hard to hide so the past year ive been freaking out about what to do (im 20 now, i think it happened to me so young because i havent ate meat since i was like 6, so for a long time i was protein-deprived).  i was going to get a hair transplant, i was looking around on some message boards for them and somehow stumbled across this site.  thank god i did, instead of butchering my head and paying thousands upon thousands for something that doesnt even look natural i decided to shave it off after a few days of reading here.  never felt so relieved, so much i can do now that i havent been able to in a long time, like go to the beach, get a convertible, etc etc.  sorry about the length there, but just wanted to say thanks to all of you!

el2ik, your introduction was music to my ears!  Thanks for joining up and letting us know about your story.  I love to hear when guys take the Sly road over the other alternatives.  O0

el2ik, I echo the sentiments of the other Sly bros, great choice on not getting a hair transplant and embracing the Slyness. Enjoy what this new look will bring forth to you.

Welcome to the SBG and post up often.

Wow, what a great intro el2ik!    Your upbeat and positive words should be read by every guy sitting on the fence about whether sly is right for them or not.   BTW you rock the sly look bro, but I am sure you already know that O0
