Title: Just took the plunge
Post by: CptFalco on February 04, 2013, 04:35:24 PM
I'm 19 years old and have been losing my hair for the past two years, it's gotten real bad so I finally decided to shave it all off.  Doesn't quite look right to me though, not sure if it's my head shape or what. We'll see how the 30 days go!

You look great I am in 9th grade and I am sly too and absolutely love it and I have been for over 3 months now and it is amazing. You have nothing to worry about you look like a natural and had that hair style for a long time good job O0

G'Day CptFalco,
Looking good mate.
Of course it might not look quite right to you, as with anything new it takes
a little time to get use to it. Give yourself some time and it will look great in your eyes  O0

Welcome abord!

You look really good, don't worry!
I understand how hard it must be to loose hair at 19 since I'm 22 and almost completly bald!

You rock the look, keep it up!

You look great, man! You have an awesome head shape... you have nothing to be worried about. Give yourself a couple of days to become accustomed to it. Do you like the feel?

Your head shape is fine.  It's probably more that your eyes/brain need to get used to the change in the mirror.

For the first few days I was just so confused for a sec every time I saw a mirror.  It's been two weeks and a day and what I thought was "awkward" and "alien-y" about my head now seems perfectly good-looking.  That's a big part of the 30 day challenge I think (and good for you for going with that!)

Looking good  O0

Wow thanks a lot guys, you're all very welcoming. I do absolutely love the feel of the shaved head, although I'm definitely not used to it being so cold up there. And yeah the first shave didn't go too smoothly haha

You will get used to it and better at the shave.

Congrats and welcome to SBG !  Your headshape looks perfect !  The 30 days will go "smooth" for you !  Add some facial stubble shadow and you're ready !  I like wearing berets on really cold winter days.

Welcome geeman, your bald head looks great.

funny enough I looked at the pic before reading the post and went "what a great head shape" Then read you didn't think so! I actually think you have a great head shape to be sly and really carry it off. I'd be interested to see you with hair for comparison!

Haha I guess I just have to get used to the fact that there's no hair up there anymore. Means a lot to hear it though, thank you! As for a picture... I have worn a hat just about every day for the past few years haha so the most recent one I could find that shows my hair is from 3 years ago, the other pic is what was left of my hair yesterday before I shaved it  :XX

Another welcome to you ... and like the others, I didn't see anything in the photo which seemed unusual or unsightly.

Enjoy the experience. It just gets better and better ...

Post by: Todo Duro on February 06, 2013, 03:25:11 AM
Same here! First thing I thought on seeing the pic before I even read your post was "nice head there". Only goes to show you're not quite used to it yet but don't worry, it'll grow on you quickly  ;) welcome to the club and keep it up!

Interesting to see the pics! In the first pic you look like a guy trying to hide early hair loss. You got away with it a bit but there would always be that question to other

In the second pic it's obviously gone past that and I can see why you have gone sly and it suits you. Both face pics show you are a good looking guy, the sly pic shows you don't have to hide anything, you're upfront and proud!
Maybe just smile in your new sly pic like you are in t'other!
welcome to the sly brigade - hope you stay!
