Hi guys, now I have a mop of hair on top, but I'm thinking about going bald by choice again. Family hates the bald look and I don't feel confident at work when I'm bald.
-
You have a good looking mop of hair, and your bald photo looks good as well. So you have choices between good and good. So if you have the itch to go BBC, go for it. If you like the mop, keep it. Change it up, do what ever you like.
One day your choices may be limited, but not now.
-
You're very lucky in that you look great bald and you look great with the current look, too. Try not to let family or work concerns influence you too much. Just do what makes you happy. I don't think you will be wrong either way.
-
You could always try it for 30 days and see if you like it, if not go back to having hair, you look great with or without.
-
I don't understand. Why do you say that you do not feel confident at work when you are sly? Looking at your photos I think that you look much MORE CONFIDENT with the sly look!
As long as you have the choice, why don't you do like I do and switch it up now and then? Part of the year I have hair just long enough to comb with a good pomade; part of the year I have an ultra-short horseshoe flattop; and part of the year I keep it clean shaven.
And please; don't waste one more day of your life worrying about what OTHER people think! What they think doesn't matter - and you are only giving them "free rent" inside your head!
So "YES"! I think that you should go sly again! In fact, why don't you post a video of it for us?
-
I like your sly look better than with hair, but if you don't feel confident bald, then the answer is obvious. Do what feels better for you.

Thx for your comments, guys. I really prefer the bald look, and yes, I must try to forget the desires of the others. This is a video from two summers ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRS_XIf12wM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRS_XIf12wM)

I remember that video. Very well done. You look sharp with the bald head.
-
I thin you look hot bald!! Don't do wach you want!! O0
-
It is pretty obvious after seeing the video that you really like the sly look.

You've answer your own question here you prefer the bald look and look really confident from your video, stop worrying about what others think about it, they will get used to it, but you can't live your life for them, you have to do it for you.
-
You pull both off well .... perhaps the sly just a bit better thought
I like your sly look better than with hair, but if you don't feel confident bald, then the answer is obvious. Do what feels better for you.

You look really happy in that video clip, and I can feel the sadness in your post when you say your family don't like the bald look. That's the sign that you really want to stay bald for life. I'm in the same boat with you.
-
Man you look good with hair but excellent slick bald. It's hard for me to understand why your family doesn't like it because you sport it so well. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate one bit going sly because you rock it!
-
Thanks for your support. I feel happy when I shave my head, but the bad thing are the reactions of my parents and some coworkers. I usually have a preppy look, and the headshave is a bit shocking for they.
Anyway, I'm thinking about it all day (like other times) and I know I will shave finally ... maybe in July or August, during holidays.
PD: a pic and another video, of my last headshave, a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8_WvJ-8Ff4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8_WvJ-8Ff4)

Do you know why your coworkers seem not to like it? It is because it makes you look much more confident and professional than they do and that it a bit of a threat to them! They know who presents himself better than they do and they know that you are likely to draw the attention of your supervisors when promotion time comes around!
Don't procrastinate any longer. Do not wait until July.
-
I always found it helped to set goals - first the 30 day rule, and when I got past that I decided to see if I could go for 90 days, and so on. By the time I'd been bald for six months, everyone was used to it and the negative feedback had stopped. You wouldn't be here asking if you didn't want to do it. Do what makes you happy -- do your family, friends and co-workers ask for your input about their hairstyles? Probably not.

That is such a great pic of you, the attitude and confidence is amazing.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do, keep us updated.

Another pic with long hair. As you can see, lower density of hair in the area near to forehead.
-
The honest truth? IMHO in that pic you look like Peewee Herman! PLEASE, break out the razor and get rid of the scraps?
-
OK, I agree with BBA, you look much better in your profile photo than that last photo with hair and the suit. And the sly looks better than the Mohawk photo you posted on another thread.
-
The bald head suits you, much better than with hair. Take out the razor and shave your head. Your family will get used to your bald head (at least they will stop making comments about your bald head).
-
You should do it! Don't bother with them... O0
-
I really miss the feeling of rubbing my head like a cueball. I hope finally I will be brave enough.

+1

Don't let other people stop you from doing what you want to do. Life's too short. It's just a haircut, after all. How many of your friends and relatives seek your input about their hairstyles?
Just do it. And before you do, commit to keeping it shaved for at least 30 days, no matter what. Once the people around you figure out that their comments aren't going to convince you to do what they want, the comments will stop. It's a little bit of a hassle in the short term but in the long run you'll be happier if you stop letting others call the shots over things like this that really don't affect anyone but you.
-
Finally ... again.
-
It looks great! Are you happy with it?
-
You already know that it looks great. But tell us how you "feel".
-
You might want to try looking a little happier. :) Your dome looks great; enjoy it!
-
You always look best when you shave your head. It's a 'one-up' over the look with hair. Gives a look of confidence.
Let me encourage you to stick with it.
-
Thanks guys I´m really enjoying it ... again.
-
Dome looks good, Lordpeich. Definitely the look for you
-
I feel ... free, happier, bald is the look that I want to show to the others. My hairy look is that the others want for me.

Well, what you want should trump what others want. :)
