Discussions About Being Bald > To be or not be...Bald
If you could give any advice to someone who is balding or thinking of shaving...
ThePangolin:
Nyoxios, I would have to agree there. When I thought it was all storms and misery that my hair was thinning, I just decided to go skin tight bald. My family said I had a great head for it right from the start, and I've never looked back since.
If I could give anyone advice I would say to remember who YOU are. No one else can define you, and you really shouldn't try to define yourself by the less significant things in life. Hair, clothes, shoes, money, jewelry, house, car, none of it matters enough to alter who you are as a person. Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, in your personality.
The biggest advice I can offer is to believe for yourself that you do like being bald. Whats not to like? Its your same head, but without the fluff of hair covering it. You are showing an air of confidence and strength, daring and willingness. Like it for yourself, and everyone else will notice. If you love yourself, others will too.

If you have a good,strong and healthy hair just leave it be, or if your hair starts falling and losing faith to your scalp/head then go for it.!! Everybody needs a significant change from their lifestyle, hobbies, job, love life, and even fashion. I cannot associate baldy head into fashion but it’s a great move to see changes in your looks. You might find the love of your life if you're still single, coz’ some girls are attracted to a bald head guy, while others are attracted to a long haired guy. As an advice I would go for it nothing’s bad on what you are planning into your head, plus it’s your life who cares about that. Just Ignore the first impression of the people around you, one day they will get used to it too. And another friendly reminder for you Tyler, when you got bald, never forget to apply proper shampoo and brush your hair gently. (Just kidding) :)

First time someone has sought my advice on headshaving. Awhile back a n acquaintance that only knew me with my head shaved was surprised to see me when I was growing my hair out for a dermatologist appointment. I explained the dermatitis issue I had on my scalp, and that I shaved my head because the issue went away when I kept it shaved.
This week, the guy called me for advice because he seems to have the same problem. This guy has a full head of long grey hair with a ponytail halfway down his back. I know he is quite scared to shave his head, but is considering it. I did suggest he go to a dermatologist first. I'm sure if he decides to try a headshave, he will call for more advice. Of course, I'll offer to do the first shave for him!

Go for it. Give it a bare minimum of 3 weeks for you, the fam, the workplace, etc... to get over the initial adjustment period (i.e. SHOCK). If then it really doesn't "fit," there's no permanent damage.
Another thing I did that has helped the fam has been 1) start talking about it, 2) start with #4 clipper guard on the entire noggin -- go to #3 -- then #2 -- and so on. 3) I found a website where they will do a bald rendering from any photo you upload to them. I have printed up bald renderings and showed the wife & kids. At first they're like "AAAK!" but after leaving the pics around...even taping them up on the wall or whatever...they're getting used to the idea.
