19 and pretty thin.
« on: November 21, 2014, 10:54:49 AM »



So, this is me, 19 years old, used to suffer with depression and gained a lot of weight. (Now loosing it, getting some muscle.)
Anyhow, recently, my hair became really, really thin.
Just wondering whether to save it or not really, clean shaven or shadow? Ideas?  :D

1st of all welcome to the sly fraternity, anytime one has "thoughts" of shaving one's head.  That person will never be satisfied until the "deed is done".  I say embrace it and shave it all off IF you are thinning.  Keep us posted to your road to slyness. O0

I'm with Warhawk, if you're thinking about doing it, just do it.  I've been shaving my head for a year now and regret not having done it sooner.  My hair was also thinning and I held on far too long.  I can't see the pic, but if you're still hesitant, maybe go for a close buzz first before you go all the way.  I did do that, and it helped me get comfortable with having less hair.  Then it came to that point that even buzzing was covering up the obvious thinnness and I just took it all off.  Haven't looked back since!
My granddaddy once told me, "If you can't hack it, gecho' jacket!"

Hard to see from that angle...but I think you're okay for now...you could always buzz it short for now and then go sly later if the thinning worsens.
Even when the d is removed, the devil is still evil.

Just do it -- then you'll know what it's like. If by chance you don't like it, it grows back. There's nothing to lose.

To be honest at first glance you looked as though you were shaved. I think you would look good. As always, shave it off at a numer one, if you then want to lose it all then get the bic to it. It will grow back quick enough.

Great news on overcoming the depression and the weight loss.From your pic you look pretty confident. Even though you have a dog biting your knee cap.........

Yeah, it was clinical depression, I'm usually very confident.
I swear, he photo bombs literally every picture taken in my house.  ;)
Also, thanks for the advice guys, trust me, it's really, really thin. Like, there is more scalp than hair up there. That's not even an exaggeration. I shall definitely give it a shave, thanks again!:)

I'm in agreement with the rest of the fellas.  If you've thought about shaving, it's definitely worth trying it out.  At best, you love it.  At worst, you don't, and you let the hairs grow back.

Yup, just do it! Hair grows back in no time if you don't like it (but, reality check, you'll love it)!!!
