Here for good!
« on: November 29, 2007, 12:17:09 AM »
Hello all, my name is Jeff, and I have recently gone Sly, and let me tell you, it's the best thing I have ever done (appearance-wise). I had been slowly thinning on the top/front over the past year, and I figured because I hear more about the failure of regrowing hair, that I would just stand up to mother nature, and do it myself. Anyways, my buddy who's losing his rapidly was convinced by my friends to buzz his down, so I told him I would do it with him. I buzzed it down, then after a day or two of adjusting, I made the jump. I used to be so self conscious of people looking at my head, and now I embrace it. It has given me so much more confidence (I also think it gives me a good 'seasoned' look), and it feels like a burden has been lifted. I doubt I'd ever go back, but anyways I just wanted to get out here and introduce myself. I am from Cleveland, Ohio, my favorite Sly celeb is the rapper, Common, the first time I truly enjoyed being Sly was when I went swimming at our rec center and didn't throw a towel over my head after getting out of the pool. I'll post a pic soon and I'll be sure to get active!

Jeff, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  It's glad to hear that you've embraced it and that you gained a ton of confidence in the process.   I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome!

Jumping in (shaved) head first is the way to do it!

Way to go, Jeff!  Glad to hear that you're loving the look and that you won't be wasting your 20's worrying about hair loss.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

Yeah Common is sly, and he certainly embraces it...that hot chick host from 106 and Park said the other day that he's the hottest rapper ever...what a boost!
