I am 18 years old. I recently realized that my hairline is receding. As you can see from the picture, my long hair largely hides it. The problem is that this can change completely depending on the way the wind is blowing. Upon asking friends if I should shave it off, i've had many staunch no's, and a few "that might look really good"'s. I know that there are many nonaesthetic reasons to shave as well, but since I'm living in Maine, there are many practical reasons to keep these locks. My case is a difficult one, because I can't simply grow my old haircut back if it doesn't look good. What do you guys think?
Well, ive had long hair since my sophmore year of highschool, and in a sense that hair has been with me for the most eventful years of my life. Once I had long hair, thats when I started to get noticed by girls (the amount of girls that came into my life exponentially grew from my crewcut to fabio days, but then again - i got older and more confident). Its really good long hair that many people envy.
Cold??? You wanna try being here today, the snow is deep and the nipples are like rutt ends!!
I admit the idea is still pretty tempting, life would be more simple - but im only 18, skinny, and can easily pass for someone with alot of hair - on the other hand - i feel less confident now, and the considerable loss of hair ive had has made my look less apealing. I sometimes resort to hats to cover up the hair loss, which seems to work. I definitely respect you sly guys - and I kinda wanna join the crew - but I also really care about how my gf perceives me - and she loves long haired guys. The thing is, alot of what I love about long hair is going away with my hair. Instead of being able to play with the hair, I reach and feel thin receding hair, which i'm afraid to touch -because it might fall out. Im even noticing some thinning in the crown. She thinks im crazy for even thinking i have a receding hairline, but i know i do. she also argues that if i do have one, i should savor the hair while it lasts - but thats hard to do when its thining. But, how can i be confident with a shaved head if my gf doesnt want it to happen? I know I should be my own man, but the ramifications are clear. jeez, balding is difficult!
