Title: New to the Forum
Post by: Tlutt13 on April 23, 2011, 01:56:15 PM
Hey Everyone, Decided to become a member after about three months of lurking. I am turning 23 years old this year and i noticed my hairline started to receed. I didn't think much of it and it honestly doesn't look that bad right now. But it started to eat at me. I would always look in car windows and it would just bug me so I am deciding to shave with no guard today and then maybe go completely sly.

The only things that bother me is that I am still young and my head is pretty small but w.e. its just hair right?

Welcome.

It's only hair! It grows back. A hairstyle is just a hairstyle. Mix it up, try different things, see what you're comfortable with. It's quite normal to wonder how things will look without hair, it can also take some getting used to. You've probably found enough advice here to give you an idea of what you want to do. Don't be shy, take the plunge ... and post a pic.

Welcome!

As banmuir said, it'll grow back. If you don't like being sly, just stop shaving and wait for it to grow back. I'm betting you'll like the sly look.  :)

Looking good! Well done.

Short is one thing, sly is a whole new world. When you're feeling comfortable with your new haircut then take it the last step - it doesn't take long to get it back to where you are now if you change your mind. Enjoy.

Looks good.  You've done the right thing.  Being proactive is infinitely better than watching your hair fall out little by little.  Shaving it all off is what all of us should do in the early stages, but most of us don't.  Congratulations on figuring things out faster than most of the rest of us.

Welcome to the group Tlutt13! It's good to see guys your age not resorting to rugs and toupees.....like I did :( Being sly is the best thing I've done (well, since I married my wife 8), in case she's looking!) Anyway, good to have you here!

That short buzz look really good on you. Now, take the next step and shave it smooth. I think you won't regret it. Short haircuts / bald head are common within athletes so if you play sports, it should not be a problem to be accepted among your peers. O0

so I finally took the last step.... I went with the sly look. and honestly i love it. I had my head shaved on no guard before so it wasn't a huge transition for me but I do like it. What do you guys think?

also if you have any tips please share. the first time cut my self up pretty bad

So after 4 days of being sly I have gotten alot of positive feedback. I just had a few questions, I started with the headblade but found i wasn't comfortable with it so i went with the schick quatro. How many of you guys go against the grain? I did on the back of my head but not at the front.

also do you guys use any special a shampoo or lotion in the shower? and do you guys put anything on before bed?

thanks a bunch
