I'm a 20 year old student wanting to go bald for the first time however not plucked up the courage, ive come here for some advice. Ive had buzz cut's before going down to 2 but really want to go bald. Worried how people at uni will take it....
Here's a pic would bald even suit me?
So yeah what advice would you give me?

I recommend to buzz it really short. So you get a good impression if it suits you. I think it will.
-
Agree; do the no-guard buzz; as short as possible. If you like the look, then get out the razor and the gel and GO FOR IT! I think you'll REALLY like the result O0

If you would like to see what you would look like bald BEFORE the clippers (or razor) ever touches your melon, you could always check this site out --> http://home.comcast.net/~vbbspot/site/?/home/
The site below offers a FREE Virtual Head Shave also --> ( multiple photos-stubble version, goatee version, etc for a small fee) ---> http://virtualheadshave.baldlygo.com/Virtual_HeadShave_free.htm
... But I do agree with the others... I think the SLY look would fit you like a glove! (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi671.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fvv75%2Fbudracing10%2Fbaseball_glove.jpg&hash=6912e8172742aea1a7e4a0882c8f341836ecb46b)
IMO, I would say just do it, but therein lies the possibility of a shock value for family and friends. If the reaction from family, friends, or co-workers is a concern, do the no guard clipper buzz (as suggested above), let those around you get accustomed to your new look for a few weeks, then "go for the gusto"!

JUST DO IT!!! O0
-
Diddo!! Thats what I did. No guard clipper cut everyday. Then took the plunge and shaved. You get used to the look and everyone you associate with gets used to the look as well. When you finally shave, it won't be a big deal.
-
If you're asking the question, then you should give it a try.
-
You have two options: either you clip your hair shorter and shorter over a few day period, until you are down to stubble; that way you get used to the look and you can then consider shaving your head. Or you just do it in one step (clippers with no guard then razor). Personnally I would opt for option 2. Why? Because, if you start with a buzzed cut, you may never take the final step. I would say, go for it! Shave your head bald and keep it smooth for 30 days, then decide if you like it or not. Don't forget to keep us posted and to post pictures of your new bald head. 8)

Hey foreversmooth really good Bald and browless, keep the look!
-
I agree with Razor. If you're thinking about it, you may as well do it. It's a natural progression, and once you buzz it down to a zero guard, most people consider your head shaved anyway. Give it a shot.
-
Well? Did you do it yet? You know you really want to give it a go. 8) So, what' it gonna be ???
-
hi guys, thanks.
It's gunna be bald ;)
-
I reckon if you've got a #2 buzz-cut already, then you will definitely suit a baldy.
Go for it mate. You will not regret it & the gal's will love it !
-
Just go for it.
-
Good call Jon
-
Definatly go for it!!
-
Thanks for your support guys, am going to buzz it down slowly. Am going to the barber today and will post later
-
Good for you - - - -remember - -it grows back if you do not like it - -all the way for you - - - but not for alot of us
I let it grow back once in a while and it does not grow back - - - I have alot of BALD spots - -like the entire dome - -it is now fuzz
-
Best choice I ever made, my Sly style goes with EVERYTHING 8)

The answer, your answer is at:
Macbeth Act 1, scene 7, 60
Read, mark, listen & shave.

I have only been shaved, but here is how I looked at it. I was concerned about the shape of my head, what friends/family would say, etc. I looked at ton of pictures of bald guys on the internet and came to the conclusion that there were no really bad bald heads out there. So, I mustered to courage and shaved it. The first day I got a bunch of compliments from people I know. The only person that made a negative comment is a guy at work who has the MPB wrap around horseshoe look. I really enjoy being bald so far, and this forum helped me get the courage to do it. So my vote is to just shave it off and throw a pic up here on the site.
-
Just go ahead and do it.
It will be an exciting and liberating experience.

Go for it buddy! Its the ultimate haircut! You will love it and I think it would suit you! You can always grow it back if you dont like it!
-
Thats what I have been telling him!! Just do it!! Come on - Take the razor out and run it across the head!
-
I agree with the guys. Go for it! I will bet that you will look awesome :@`
-
You'll never know until you do it. If you have a #1 now and shave it, decide you don't like it, it will only take a week until you're back to a #1. Try it when you have a week off of school or work.
-
Did you shave your head yet ?
If not, you really should as you will definitely suit it & the girls will love it !!
