Hi! new here, need some help. I am 19 and well unfortunately showing signs of a receding hairline. I am really interested in shaving my head bald, my girlfriend loves the idea, but my parents hate it! I asked my father (who lost his hair and sports a horshoe) do you think I would look good with a shaved head? He just said I would look like a skinhead! Same with my mother! Obviously I am not a skinhead! Is this an issue with younger white men who sport shaved heads? I also have my ears pierced, would this add to the problem? I honestly think I would look great because of my face and the shape of my head! Does anybody ever think of a skinhead when they see a young guy having one?
Here's a little history lesson for you, Youllbealright, that you can use to hopefully change people's perspectives about skinheads and the origins of the sly look.Most people don't realize that the only reason why skinheads are associated with the Neo-Nazi movement is because there was a small group of "skinheads" that happened to be involved with the movement back in the day. At that point in time, being sly was not a common or widely accepted look, and the media (go figure) created the skinhead = Neo-Nazi stereotype.
