Poll - Bald Head Beard Combinations
« on: June 04, 2021, 07:32:02 AM »
I’ve started shaving my head 15 yrs ago, and I’ve tried every type of facial hair with the exception of a longer beard. I’ve liked all styles. I think i look best with a short beard (about #1 blade length) and it’s the easiest to take care of. I’ve gone back to sporting a goatee for now. My intent was to do a braid but i had to trim the length as it wasn’t growing in very even. I really like a bald head with a chevron mustache, but  I gotta muster up the courage to do it and stay with it though.

I created the poll to see what you guys like as your favorite look.

I really can't grow a beard anymore and when I try, it just looks sparse so I keep it clean shaven.

No surprise my favorite is a long full beard.  But, IMO, a shaved head looks best with at least "some" facial hair. I am well aware of the facial hair challenges many guys have, and a full beard is not possible for all.   But even if a guy cannot grow any facial hair, I still think a shaved head looks better than a thinning/balding head. I myself was not capable of growing a full beard until sometime in my 40's.  Prior to that, my cheeks were very weak and patchy.  Fortunately, my facial hair thickened up enough for a full beard about the same time my head hair started thinning.

BTW, I also prefer facial hair for guys that still have a full head of hair.

I had a goatee for many years, but recently grew the sides in. The sides are trimmed to a slight point near the ears, and sideburns  trimmed down to the ear lobe. I definitely like this look.

I can’t really grow a beard, so I clean shave my face in addition to my head. I could try a goatee I guess, but even that isn’t great

I shaved my face when the Covid thing started for the first time in about 40 years. I was shocked! Wasn't a good look for me.

I went clean shave too at the beginning of the pandemic when wearing a mask with a beard was annoying. I kinda liked it and it lasted longer than I thought it would —- about 6 months. Then I did a mustache which fits under a mask nicely then went to a goatee.

I've seen some guys with just a goatee and no mustache and it looked good. I would like to try that look, but will probably wait until next winter. I should have started by shaving my mustache when I clean shaved my face last winter.

a goatee and no mustache

Ah..... that was my first shaved head look.  A coworker of mine also had a shaved head and the same facial hair. Another guy at work asked if we went to the same stylist! We had a lot of baldies on the team. I remember we had a meeting and there were 4 of us guys with shaved heads ..... the fifth guy ( and only guy with hair) took a little razzing from us. He never shaved.

Beards and goatees look fine while short but the one thing I've noticed with solo mustaches is that you really need to go big or go home.  I think this is why its so common for guys with a regular looking mustache to grow a soul patch or sideburns or let the beard grow out for a few days because they just lack something.  Big impressive mustaches, on the other hand, can look really impressive and impressive to the point that the effect is lost if it is part of a beard.
You don't know me, but I know you.

@Rusty Shackleford  You make a lot of good points about going big with mustaches. I didn’t realize how impactful a fuller look is until i decided to let my goatee just grow for months without trimming. I think that’s key. Try to go 2 to 3 months with just growing the facial hair and skip the trimming until then. At some point, I’ll probably shave off the chin hair and do a solo stache.

… so scared to shave beard off now.

Same here.  Last time I saw my bare face was 13 years ago. I have no desire to take a peak and see how much it has aged since then.
