Anybody ever miss their old hair?

Razorhead:
Seems like many guys here sported flattops. So question.....

Killer flattop or shaved head? Which would you rather have?

That would be a tough one for me! A killer flattop to me would be shaved sides,horseshoe flat. That might lure me back to hair. But sadly, I don’t have the thickness.   >:(

I do not really miss my hair - I never really liked it when I had it, it was too hard to style.  Too wavy for most of the hair styles I liked, not curly enough of the curly styles either.  Now if I could have the hair I wanted, that may be different.

Tough question. If the flattop was still thick enough, maybe. It's alot of maintenance and time each day to style. I also think I looked older with a white flattop. Growing up in the 60's and 70's, only old fashioned older guys sported a flattop.

Photo from about 5 years ago, self cut flattie.

Reddog, that’s a tough one. You look great with the flat and with the shaved head. Nice job on the self cut flattie. It looks like a pro did it. I’ve cut my own crewcuts and skin fades but never did my own flattie.  I only liked my flattops real short on top otherwise the corners get a little droopy. Yours is perfect especially the landing strip. The last time i had a flattop was last Spring. The barber did a great job and he trimmed my beard to grow it into a ducktail. I made a stop on the way home to use a rest room and though the beard and cut made me look old. So I went to another barber to get the beard shaved off and take the top down a little. I think i got it cut two more times after that and then i just buzzed it and shaved it.

But i get what you mean about the silver/white hair. Like you, I started to turn grey in my 20s. Now at 50 I’m very silver.

Thanks, Razorhead. I could probably still pull off a flattop, but I don't have the patience to grow it out for 2 or more months! I truly enjoy wearing a shaved head, and it has so many advantages.

Hard to believe in two weeks it will be 7 years since I started shaving! It's become my signature look, and everyone sees my totally bald head as normal. I'm very happy with what I see in the mirror for my age.
