Title: Check out me as sly
Post by: UltraPulse on June 18, 2009, 07:18:18 AM
Not exactly sly but whatever. As you can see plain as day my hairline is non-existent really (I'm only 16 - seriously) and I'm surprised nobody mentioned it yet (today the last day of finals, for me). Anyway, my head shape is truly retarded, however, this pic doesn't show it (back of head is really flat, and the top has a ridge). It's too late for me to grab a decent photo(3/8" hair now) so here's one that my friend took and I posed for fun. I don't normally wear sunglasses or do the double thumbs up.

Also, I'm growing it back until maybe senior year.

I'm just an old man (30 year old to be exact), but I think you look cool.  I'd consider keeping it through the summer if I were you.   O0

I'd seriously consider cutting your hair a couple times before your senior year.  :*))
Seriously, the shaved look suits ya guy!

No problem with that head shape at all, looks good.  Try a short buzz, that way when you do the full monty in your senior year, if that's what you want to do then, it won't be a huge change.  But don't worry you look fine, go out and have fun O0--but learn something on the way ^-^.

I think it looks very cool.  You should consider the sly route long-term.

Looks good so stop worrying about headshape, etc.

I agree.  It looks great; you have nothing at all to worry about.

Hey UltraPulse !

Talk about balding with a flat head in back !  Yeah, I really got picked on in grades 5 - 12 (yes, I was a HS senior back in 1973 with Princeton-IvyLeague haircut -- and it sucked) for wearing shorn haircuts while my buddies rubbed the back of my flat buzzed stubble head and saying "Geeez, Stan, that was one FRIGGIN anvil that hit you in the back of your head".  Well, as genetic luck would have it,  MPB set in and I went to a HCM hairsystem (WRONG, WRONG, WRONG) and then went "naturale" and then went back to better (non HCM, private) hairsystems where I can now have a 1/2 inch buzz cut, yet I yearn for the "bald head look".  The point is, UltraPulse, you are young and handsome so keep the hair buzzed and make "bald work for you" and do not worry about the head shape because you will end up psyched into fake hair like me !  Well, sorry for such a long post, but hope it helps you !  ---Stan

It works for you, really.  You should consider keeping it.  I don't see anything wrong with your headshape.  Sometimes we tend to be our own worst critic.

I agree with everyone man.. headshape is a non issue. Besides, like going bald, that's something you can't control. Hopefully you'll learn to look past all that nonsense in the not too distant future. But I remember HS... it's ALL about appearance. I'd keep it buzzed through the summer and see how you feel in the fall.

tell everyone you're gonna try out for the swim team!

Welcome either way.

Sadly I don't swim too well... For courtesy, I shall upload pics. One has red outlines, unfortunately I cannot find any more photos of the hair when it was buzzed. so here's what I've got so far:

I probably should have taken more photos of it but never got the chance to, but the flat spot is softened by the hair so it's no visible, but I will definitely go sly when I move out, because apparently my mom hates it.

Yeah MPB does suck at this point in my life haha...

Your head shape is fantastic!  Not at all flat in back!  You just have a handsome face attached to a handsome head !  Keep it buzzed or sly it !  Best Bald Blessings !

Sorry, but my flat head is very noticeable; yours is not.  Shave it a little closer, and it will give you a better idea what the final product will look like.

Wow my hair grows slow >_>

I'll take your advice and shave it whenever it gets worse.
