One of the big topics on this board is head shape. I have to admit I've struggled with my head shape, and I know others are concerned (especially newcomers). I have a small bump/ridge on my head that has always bugged me (so you're not alone). Here's my quick story.
I've had a shaved head for a few years. My buddy has a full head of hair. He shaved his head to a 1 the other day, and he looked really good. He had brain surgery a few years back, and you see his scar that outlines his hairline (his surgeon did his best to hide his scar with his hairline). I told him it made him look like a badass, and he should wear it proud. I also thought he had a nice shaped head.
Fast forward to last night, and the topic of having a shaved head came up. He told me, "You have a good head shape and a good look for being bald." I said, really? Thanks. I told him I thought he had a good head shape as well...and he says I don't think it's as good as yours, you have an egg shaped head (lol) and that's a good thing.
So really...it's all about perception! I think his head shape is better and he thinks mine is better. Your self consciousness about your head shape is, literally, all in your head!
That made my night...and I thought I'd share it with you all!

Wise words, Jason. Thanks for sharing your story and experiences. There has been a fair amount of this topic discussed lately... I hope others who are concerned about this will take your words to heart.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: there's no such thing as a perfect head shape/size. We would all be cookie-cutter clones (ie uninteresting/not unique).
Who really wants to look like this, anyway?

... there's no such thing as a perfect head shape/size.
I agree, and will add that although we are all 'imperfect' I've not seen a bald head yet which I thought was unattractive or would look better covered by something.
It all works for all of us.

Excellent post Jason ! You should be the SBG head shape chairman !
-
Thanks, Jason....I think this thread should be stickied.....something to look at whenever we get down about the shape of our heads.....for a long time, I thought I had a "boxing glove" head because my cranium stuck out a little further than others, but as I said....it's our imperfections that make our heads uniquely ours!
-
Excellent story Jason. Thank you for sharing.
-
the headshape thingy is only in the person's mind, it's not that bad actually.
-
Yea I think everyone else's head looks Awesome but mine ......forget about it- looks wierd to me but seems to be ok with everyone who seen it

I have two scars on the back of my head (from the cyst op.) they don't bother me they make my head more "interesting" -i can always said that i was involved in the fight and tell some cool story about them -my war scars :*))

That's the spirit! You must be my hidden double, I had two surgeries on the back of my head in December and April....The scars are starting to blend in, but even if they don't I'll take scars over nasty cysts on the back of my head anytime!

True Jason, the initial head shape worry is just "all in the head".
Once you go Sly, you and others start to get used to your own Head Shape.
I wonder what is worse, having an odd head shape with a "Bozo the Clown doughnut ring" or having an odd shaped head and being completely bald? I say the former.

Yea
Its not whats on your head but whats inside
-
All good points, gentlemen!

It is always great that you like the look of yourself, or your head shape. I think your head shape look good. However, if it is still bother you, there is the new technic surgery for the head shape reshaping in Korean. Check it out.

My head shape would have to be really messed up before I will undergo any surgery on it...

I have not seen a bad sly head yet, all the unique head shapes just enhance our individuality.

I just added a new scar to my head the other week when I lost the fight with a temporary fence (apparently it didn't like me hitting it with a mattock) I think that kind of thing just adds character, and if someone has a keen enough eye to spot it, then it could be a conversation starter too O0

JasonR -you must be kidding right man- you are trippin hard :*)) you look above average -you can be an actor man !
-
I am about to get one more scar -one more cyst to go so my head will be even more interesting (it should look like this smiley from the back :-[ two eyes and, well more nose then a mouth actually :*)) )
-
For all the guys in the fence -learn from Beardman ( O0 )experience and stay off the fence :*)) just go sly !
-
And for those on the fence about head shape, you'll never really know until you shave your head. Just do it for 30 days. You're going to look good anyway. Bald rocks.
-
You got what you got - - -make the best of it - - -I keep a shine on mine always and no one looks at the shape - - just the shine
-
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Although I do believe that there are better head shapes than mine, I am 100% sure that my head has the best shape to match with my body and personality and that makes it perfect to me.
@baldgreat: Sorry, but I would not recommend any plastic surgery unless needed as a treatment of recovery from an illness.
