Whether to go bald by choice again

<< < (2/3) > >>

slybeard:
Just do what you want with it.  You have nice looking hair, and you look great shaved.  I do not think it will have any affect on landing a job, with or without hair.  Many guys do come across more confident when they shave their heads, so maybe being shave will give you a slight edge.  Either way, I suggest a little more length on your beard.

Semi-Sly:
My two cent’s worth:

1.  You look really good both ways, but you owe it to yourself to shave it and keep it shaved long enough to get comfortable with the look in all the luck as the others said the negative comments. And you really can’t make a decision unless you’ve given the 30 day rule good try
2. I am like you I still have a fairly full hairline but my hair is turned the  color of a dead mouse. you definitely look younger without the gray hair so your choices are to either start coloring it darker or bleach it out platinum all over. there are some good coloring options out there now such as control GX shampoo.


why don’t you do what I do - go half of the year with hair and half of it with a beautiful gleaming dome?

Shaved is a masculine confident look on you. A great time to do it as the new employer will know you only as a bald guy.

I went on a job interview today with a freshly shaved head. There were 3 guys interviewing me and one of them had a shaved head, two others didnt. The other bald guy and I really bonded without ever mentioning being bald. The guys with hair never even looked at my shaved head or thought it unusual. So yes stay shaved and enjoy the look and feel, I know I do. Shaved my head again tonight I love the smoothness so much. Dont let  friends and family control your haircut, ever. 

Laser Man:
Depending on where you live, a shaved head shouldn't scare off potential employers.  In most metropolitan areas, shaved heads are pretty common these days.

Thanks guys for all the encouragement. With the virus lockdown and barbershops closed here I no longer have any excuses not to shave my head. So I’ll be shaving again on Saturday.

I’ve decided to do it to raise money for a couple of charities working to support people affected by the coronavirus in the UK and around the world. I’ve got a fair amount of hair to lose as it’s been a while since I last shaved.

You can see my fundraising pages for the charities here.

Here’s a picture of me now too - with a much longer beard than I’ve had before. I hope it’s going to go well with my newly shaved head.

Looking forward to rejoining Slybaldguys
