Title: stay bald or not stay bald
Post by: benjy on January 23, 2020, 08:59:55 PM

I have a head full of hair, but I prefer to be bald, especially smooth.

I have the head to be bald, in your opinion?


Thank you for your answers

It looks great. Shaving a full head of hair can be a shock, and it is not unusual to second guess yourself at first.  I suggest you keep is shaved for at least 30 days before making a decision.

It also takes that long to really learn to shave it in a reasonable time.

thank you for your comments, it helps me a lot

I shave every day, and I really appreciate having a smooth head.

to be frank, i have always wanted to be bald since i was 16

a question for you, how did your first shave go?

You look good bald. If you like it you should keep it, everyone will get used to it in a short time.

My first headshave didn't go real good, but I shaved every day, so I learned what my shaving routine needed to be pretty fast.

Enjoy your new hairstyle, it sounds like you have wanted to be a baldie for a long time. Let us know if you have any more questions!

You have a very nice head of hair, but you really look good bald. It will be alot of work to maintain a shaved head, but it will be worth it.

What kind of reactions have you received? Quite a change. Something I think is cool, with a full head of dark hair, you have that shadow after shaving that says "yes, I have the balls to be bald by choice!

thank you for your compliment.

yes a lot of maintenance, but I really like the feeling of the smooth head.

not too much feedback at the moment, people are a little shocked, especially when he asks me if I'm going to leave and I answer that probably not ^-^

I do not consider the maintenance that bad when compared to what it takes to maintain other hairstyles.  Any style other than a buzz cut requires as much or more time for daily styling, shampooing, trips to a barber etc.  At least it did for me.  To me, shaving is an even trade-off once you have settled into a routine with it.

Welcome, Benjy! If you like it, that's all that matters, though the flattop looked pretty good too.

Soon people will get use to the new look , and all those questions will stop . You won’t feel self consciousness about it anymore. Just give it some time if you like the feel and look.

I'm also bald by choice. I love the feeling of my smooth head but some days I procrastinate when it comes to shaving it. However, nothing feels better than a smooth head. Some days I've considered growing my hair back but then I'm reminded of struggling to find time in my schedule to get a haircut, I hated the frustration of not liking my hair colour or style. So the little frustration I feel some mornings is nothing compared to what I felt when I had hair.

thank you for your answers

It is true that I still find it difficult to see myself bald, but that is what I want.

I love my smooth head.

I still have to gain self-confidence.

I am bald by choice and I will do everything to stay that way

I go back and forth quite a bit.  I’ve shaved my head every summer for the past four years and plan to do it again in a couple of months.

Chuck, your 2 photos are a great example of 2 different looks. In my opinion, you look better and younger shaved bald. Its such a nice clean look!

Thanks.   I think that grey hair makes me look older.  Shaving my head is the easiest way to get rid of the grey.

On my 15th year of SLY...NEVER LOOKED BACK. Definitely a style that will never get old. Bald and Being Fit is the formula. And of course the SLY COMMUNITY is here to support.

the most say is done I think,
the first shave, make the hair disappear
the maintenance of the smooth skull quickly becomes obvious.
I shave as if I should do my hair

That's a huge difference!  You look so much younger with a shaved head!

Looks really good!  You certainly have the head and the face for it!

I want to add that in the begining it seems like a lot of work to maintain but over time your scalp will toughen up and you'll develop a system of maintatinence that will take less and less time until it just becomes a simple routine.
