Title: I'm new
Post by: wvbaldteen on July 26, 2012, 11:29:32 AM: Hey, my name is Alex. I'm 17 and I go to Huntington High School. I recently shaved my head because I was tired of maintaining my hair. My hair is weird and unruly- I have kept my hair buzzed relatively close (about 1/2 inch) and it still had cowlicks. I'm just wondering if a shaved look is something that I should continue into the school year or should I let it grow out. My parents like it both ways, and they say it's so much better than my hair long.

Me about a year ago - http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/s444/_alexodonnell/moi.jpg (http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/s444/_alexodonnell/moi.jpg) . I looked rather feminine then. I kept my hair combed over because it was the only manageable style. I absolutely hated it.

Me about two days ago - http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/s444/_alexodonnell/2012-07-26_13-07-00_670.jpg (http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/s444/_alexodonnell/2012-07-26_13-07-00_670.jpg) I really do like it shaved. It felt good to just rub my head without worrying about tangles and wiry hair.

I started shaving my head for a similar reason: No matter what I did to my hair, it never wanted to agree with me, so off it came. Now, nature has made sure my hair growth is catching up with me, but that's a different story.
I think being bald looks good on you , and you are obviously enjoying the experience, so I say roll with it. Keep doing it for yourself, not anyone else. Those who truly matter will accept it as who you are. Keep up the good work! O0

Personally, I think it looks great. Try out the 30 day rule. Shave it everyday. :)

It's a style which suits you, and it's obvious that you are comfortable with it. Win-Win for sure.

I'd stick with it. And terrific that your parents are supportive; that's often a stumbling block. I think you've got it made.

Stick around and keep us posted on how you experience the Sly World.

Post by: kalbo on July 26, 2012, 10:34:24 PM: Welcome to the bald brotherhood Alex. I agree with your parents, you look good both ways but if shaving bald makes you happy, then I am all for it. I admire you for being brave to shave it all off at 17, that is around my age when my desire to shave my head began, took me 10 years to build up that courage to shave my head.
Keep posting, I am sure you will be a good inspiration to the younger crowd.

Wow, what an awesome, fresh, youthful, positive vibe you project regarding your move to Slydom? Well done, and it is so enriching to read that your parents are supportive. That is such a huge factor.

The look suits you and I hope you get much enjoyment out of it.

Post by: wvbaldteen on July 27, 2012, 08:10:40 AM: Haha, I doubt that I'll be the first bald president. Even if I do become president, that's 30+ years from now and there'll probably have been another bald president by then. But that was very nice of you to say. All your comments are greatly appreciated. I never thought I would have gotten this much support in one day.

Alex, the sly look suits you.
Why not start the school year with a good haircut (shave)? 8)

Post by: Beardman on July 29, 2012, 05:34:05 PM: I think the sly look suits you, but I see no reason why you can't go back to having hair if the 30 day rule doesn't work out. It is awesome that your parents like it, not everyone has the same luck (I was lucky that my parents did as well)

I look forward to hearing about how you go at school with the new look!

Post by: Bilko1 on September 11, 2012, 04:36:50 AM: Great decision, young man!

Bald is definitely the way to go. Wish I had shaved my head when I was your age. Go with the 30-day rule & shave your head bald every day. You will get used to the "new bald" you & others will, too.

All the best,

Bill
