Ok, can you please let me know your opinions on my headshape and whether i'd look ok bald. I'm 16 years old and my hairline has receded and thinned noticably. I know that i will continue to lose hair and want to know whether to go bald. From the front and back I don't see any problem with my headshape, however I feel it looks terrible from the sides. The back of my head dips in from the top before going outwards. People often tell me i have a massive or ugly head.
Pics above, Thanks guys.

No ! Think it would look good. I know it would feel better. And it always grows back. If you don't like it.

A bald head looks good on most guys. You'd be no exception.
Just list hearing your voice on a recording, most people cringe when they hear themselves. It does not sound like you hear yourself.
So with the shape of your head. Others see your head from THEIR perspective and a photo shows you that. You see your head differently in a photo than when perceived in a mirror. You'll look fine with a bald head, even though you don't think so at this point. Others will probably accept it faster than you do. And give it the 30 day rule. You'll have a chance to get used to it yourself. For as much hair as you do have left, if you don't like it bald after 30 days, you could let it grow back, but I bet you won't want to do that. You'll like it too much to stop shaving your head.

I say give it a try, you could at least cut your hair with a #2 or #3 to give yourself a better idea of your head's shape. Then if you don't like it, it will grow back. If you do like it, take it down with no guard and then mow it off. Good luck with your decision.

Tomo ... you'll look just fine.
You can either buzz it off all at once, or do as Zach said and progressively shorten it. Either way, the new look will be a surprise to folks so don't let yourself get rattled with whatever comments you hear. You'll look just great, and you're going to feel so good about being "in charge" of your life.
After all, it is only hair.
-
Go for it! You'll wear it well.

I don't see anything wrong with the shape of your head.

You wont be minding mine.

Thanks a lot everyone :) You've given me a lot of confidence and I feel more secure about the way I look. My head shape may be different but It shouldn't matter, without it I wouldn't be me. It probably just looks worse to me than it does to other people. I'll definately be giving it a go.
Thanks once again everyone.

Welcome! Don't let your headshape stop you from going sly! Remember, it's the headshape, the scars, the scratches, or just whatever....that makes our heads...ours! Good Luck!
-
This headshape business is all in the mind when some folk go sly ,
-
Some guys seem to worry about their head shape. Unless it's a dodecahedron, you'll be fine.
-
16 is a great age to experiment things (with some exceptions of course) so go ahead and try a different haircut, maybe sly :)
I see no problem with your head shape.

I don't know, I reckon a dodecahedron shaped head would be pretty cool... it is certainly a conversation point!

The big problem would be shaving the vertices without slicing them off! ^-^

The bad thing about your situation is that you are in your high school years and the high school years are unique in that a person's peers are ruthlessly vicious in picking on others for anything even remotely different. For all the talk teens give for their love of individuality, they are the most homogenous age group of our species and they will not be kind if you decide to defy conformity and express individuality in a way that is not "cool".
It took me a while to figure out the Grand Unifying Theory behind all things "cool" and "uncool", and the following really is the result: Something is "cool" if it directly involves getting laid or involves the pursuit of getting laid, and everything else is "uncool". Unfortunately, when teenagers are involved, someone doing something "uncool" requires them to pick on that person non-stop.[/i]
Therefore if you shave your head it will be considered "cool" if you are doing it for the pursuit of getting laid, but if you are doing it for your own reasons (and it looks like you are) then it will be seen as "uncool" and vulnerable to the repercussions. The fact that you seem uncertain about the look may make them especially vicious if they can smell vulnerability on you.
Fortunately, while the rules on cool and uncool remain the same forever, people older than high-school-years-old usually don't feel compelled to bully those who break conformity. It really is funny how drastically this childish attitude drops even between a senior year in highschool and a freshman year in college. Generally outside of high school the insults come from friends who are picking on you out of respect, and others tend to keep their mouths shut.
I hope that didn't discourage you too much, but I just wanted to warn you of the bulls**t you may encounter because teenagers are, in general, ... I guess I shouldn't go there. Anyway, the good news is that you are only a couple years off from being free from it.

Haha, true. it would be like knocking the top off a pimple...
I agree with Rusty, teenagers can be a harsh breed. I was pretty lucky, my year level were all really close in high school. On the other hand my sisters battled with it all through their years. Having said that, if you show that you are happy with your new look you should be fine O0

Welcome to the bald brotherhood young tomo. All of us have different head shapes with varied degrees of weirdness. You will look great once you decide to go smooth.
