New guy here, help me out! EDIT: I DID IT!
« on: May 05, 2008, 08:20:10 PM »
Awesome forum, glad to be here! I'm 25 y/o, hair started thinning around 22, didn't get "bad" until about 24. I've been wearing a piece for a couple months now with awesome results. Although I'm not liking the weekly maintenence. I ride motorcycles in the summer - so heat + helmet + hair piece isn't going to be fun. I've decided I'm not going to let hair run my life  :*)).

So last week, I decided to use Photoshop (I'm a Graphic Designer) and make myself bald to see what I'd look like. I dont think I look too bad! Anyway, I'm looking to shave it all off in the near future, just need a little push! Let me know what you guys think.

Here are a few pics:

This is fake... Bald:


This is the piece:

Welcome, ZDB2K.  Glad you found us and decided to join in.  I thing the bald (SLY) look is 100% better.  Plus I can guarantee that you'll also feel 100% better about yourself.  Nothing to hide anymore.  Give it a shot.  You look good and alot more of a "tougher" look.

Best of luck

What I want to know bro is......What the hell you waiting for?  I think you woudl look like a natural.  I would just say do it.   I guarentee you that once you do it you will finally feel free from all the worries of losing your hair.  I see nothing...absolutely nothing wrong with you shaving ya noggin.  If you do it though...you have to adhere to the 30 day rule.  Try it for 30 days, if you dotn like it, grow it back.  I will say by the end of week one..you will be addicted.  Hope you still hang around even if you dotn decide right now to shave it.  Loads of info on here bro, and by the way...Glad you found us.  I will tell ya, I see you shaving it within a week...mark my word ! LOL

hey man.. i can see why you think you feel better with the rug. being young an bald is a difficult thing. however, with those pictures you posted.... you look almost a thousand times better with the "photoshop shave" than with that piece ... seriously! you look sooooo badass and manly without hair than that piece will ever offer. plus if you shave it, it's YOUR look... not some fake crap.

seriously man... upgrade on the shaved look, no doubt.

Bro, you were born to be sly, it looks awesome on you.  Plus, as the others have already said, the freedom you'll experience will be spectacular, especially when riding. O0

I am all about doing what makes you happy - but I gotta say, the shaved look is awesome.  You need to do it.

Welcome ZDB2k!!!  Liberate yourself and go for the shave.  I think you will look great.  Just imagine the years of maintenance and cost with your rug.  Calculate the savings with compound interest and see what you get.  I bet it will shock you.
