What's exactly BBC?
« on: April 04, 2019, 04:22:08 PM »
I read that many call "bald by choice" to the action of taking control of the situation (hairloss) and shave it all off. But I always thought that is having a full of hair (Norwood  1) and decide to no have any hair.

What do you think about this?

I'm sure there are varying opinions on the BBC term.

To me, BBC is still having all of most of your hair, but choosing to shave it off.

If you're pretty much bald on top, you're bald by nature.

I guess either way, if you take a razor to your head and shave it all off, then you're bbc.

Bald by choice, and loving it!

IMO, bald by choice is when a guy that still has a full head hair without any noticeable thinning or bald spots, chooses to shave his head.  BTW, I do not consider guys with short buzz cuts as BBC.

I started as BBC because I still had plenty of hair at the time, but nature has now caught up to me.

Thanks scooby, yes, it does take some intestinal fortitude to choose to shave a full head of hair. While shaved heads are widely accepted nowadays, we still get people that don't understand why we do it. The guys that are BBC are just wearing a haircut they like. If our choice gives balding guys some support, great! We're all in the same club, and we have a connection/brotherhood among us.

BBN here.

But loving BBN/shaved.

I would be BBC because the 'BB' has defined me my entire adult life. After living it, I would NOT want to give it up.

In my late teens i elected to keep hair in very short buzz.  I got the desire to become which I then hastened by several procedures.  I then shaved by head completely in 1980 which at the time was unique,  One driving force was a desire to be different.

That must have been very different to sport a shaved head in the 80's! I tried several different hairstyles over the years, but I enjoyed being different in the 90's by wearing a flattop and full beard. Several years later I went to long hair. I was the last one to ever, ever, ever dream of shaving my head. About seven years ago, I had a couple neighbors with shaved heads that looked great, guess that put the idea in my head to try it ONE TIME. All it took was that first compete headshave to be hooked on the baldie haircut.

everyone is different but the usually progression is:  slow slow slow slow FAST FAST GONE.
