Do I have the right head shape to go buzz cut/bald?

So its a little hard to tell but my hair is receding in the front. I am considering shaving it/ getting a buzz cut but I'm not sure if I have the right head shape for it, any advice? I'm 26 years old, I look younger than I am, the pictures I took are crappy quality but the should give you an idea of what I'm working with. I couldn't figure out how to get them from my phone to here because my email was acting up so I'm posting a link.

You're prob only Norwood 2, so your receding is hardly noticeable.

But your head shape is perfectly normal from your photos. You could easily buzz/shave and look good. Your got tones of options.

Head Shape is the most common concern guys have for going bald.  It is almost never an issue, in fact, I do not recall ever seeing a guys where it was actually an issue.  The truth is, our head shapes are all different, full of bony ridges and such.

Sounds like you are as I was.  I had made up my  years before I start thinning that I would rather shave than have thinning and/or balding hair.  So I decided that as soon as I was able to notice the thinning I would be proactive and shave it.  That is what I did and most of the people I know never knew I was thinning.  Years later, I have very little hair on top.  I can also tell you that if you already are thinking about it, you are likely going to do it, so it is just a question of when.

You can easily do as you suggested and go with a shorter buzz.  Take your time and just go progressively shorter until you are ready to shave.  Or, you still have good looking hair, so you can maintain what you have and decide to do it at a later time as MPB sets in.

give it 30 days. after that, you'll likely never want hair again. it's one of the most liberating things I've even done for myself.
