Do I shave it?

Go Down

Do I shave it? by punkhobo on 30 Sep, 2008 01:35
I have had a high hairline since I was a kid and now my hairline is receding. At only 18 I think it really sucks with the receding hairline, and in college looking good for the ladies is really important in this time of my life. I really am not sure if I should shave it or not I think it would look pretty weird (at least to me) do I do it? I would really appreciate any advice. Thx
Below is me with hair down

Welcome to SBG! Do whatever is going to give you the most confidence. Though, I'd give shaving a chance. I really wish I would have when I was in college.

Welcome to the Forum Hobo!

Dude............ you're 18 years old. I don't think I'd sweat the receding hairline at this point because it doesn't look like a big problem for you right now.

My hairline receded to about what you have when I was 16, then it stopped. You have no reason to worry about your hairline yet.

buzz it down and then try shaving it, give it a few weeks and if you still don't like it grow it back out. the sly look is a big confidence booster for me. You may surprise yourself and find that you will look good with a shaved head.

Welcome Hobo!!! Don't agonize over the receding hair line. Believe me, you are the only one who notices. If you want something different go for a buzz or go all the way and shave it.
