Man I just had a happy thought. I never really struggled with the decision to be sly; one day I just did it in March I think of 2007. I had one session of transplants when I was 19. I thought why in the hell did I do that months later. I can't even afford it and you have to go back they rip your skin off your head it is gross etc... I tried rogaine, proscar, but one day a friend told me "Why don't you just shave it off. Who cares about the scar. Just tell 'em you were in a car accident or something which I dont even do anymore I just tell the truth and tell people never to do it. I realizes I was just prolonging it and I was just so tired of my hairline. I kept it buzzed just enough to conceal my hair transplant scar and I had what I called train tracks on my head. I was a little worried about the scar and what my hair transplants would look like. I guess I am lucky because although I do have a scar I don't have those "punchhole" scars. So I got over it and just picked up the clippers I had been using, took the guard off, and started buzzing and then just went to shaving like I do my face. After the end result I looked at the scar and thought well I'll just have to get over it. Over the days and esp. few years after my first shave the scar doesn't bother me. I am grateful for this decision. But hey, I was just thinking, if I could magically grow hair all of a sudden and have my hair back, hairline, etc... I would still shave my head!!!! I like it better this way!!! I just wanted to share that little happy thought. And I want to say to you guys that have good hairlines and choose to shave, mega kudos. There's one thing about being bald. It's neat!

Same here........ even if I could grow it back, I would NOT.
-
Same here X 2.....we are taking over!!
-
I could grow (most of it ;)) back, but I still never will 8)

Cliff-
You look like the Satch with that Ibanez in hand! O0
-
I'd like the option to grow it back if I could, you know atleast to not feel limited to one look. With that being said over these past few months ive definetly fell in love with my sly look. I think itd be kind of wierd seeing me with hair now, even though its only been 3 months.
-
Yeah I actually used a pic of Satch for my Facebook profile pic for a while. No one knew the difference except those that have known me over the past few years since I went sly.
-
Don't believe I'll ever go back.

Sly for life. Too many skin issues otherwise even without the issues. Sly For life! :D

I've got MPB and although some people say I have "gorgeous" hair (their words, not mine) I just don't want to be the comb over guy and that's what's happening. I've got that monk's spot (what do you call that?) on the back-top of my head and the forehead is getting bigger every year. I can't say I'll never grow it back, but I prefer it sly today.
Besides, it gives me an excuse to buy and wear hats and I love hats when I don't have to care about my hair.
