Hi guys... I've been lurking around here for ages and have even posted some, asking about my head shape and sh*t. I think I got a slight BDD or something 'cause I think that my head shape is f**king ugly and the asymmetry is too pronounced. I see all you guys have perfectly shaped, symmetric heads and obviously that looks good shaved. There's a picture of me as my avatar, please tell honestly if you can see the asymmetry I'm talking about. Thanks beforehand. Also, guess my age :D. I want to get a feel of how old I look.
-
Hi yep_yep,
I think maybe you do have BDD because you have a fine shaped head, really - you do! Absolutely fine! No asymmetry at all. Quite the reverse in fact, you're a fine looking guy! Also regarding your age, I'd put you in your early 20's maybe. Anyway, hope that helps a bit & welcome to the site! O0

Thanks for the reply shyslyguy. Yeah I'll be 25 in November. I just feel like a look a lot younger than I am, and that's partly why the balding is so hard to take. My hair is very thin up top but I'm so damn scared... I did buzz my hair down to 1mm last fall, but didn't like it very much because of my head shape. Think I gotta do it again sometime.
-
Ditto with shysly on the age...and again on the head shape. I can see absolutely nothing wrong with the shape of your dome. Seems well shaped and proportioned. A great many of us have imperfections that may seem large to us and unnoticable to others. If it was really that bad, would you even wear your hair the length it is in your pic? Hey bro...couldn't it just be the nervousness many of us have felt prior to going sly? For some guys its a bigger plunge than for others. Just go for it...you'd be a few weeks away from the length you have now if you don't like it....but the shape as I see it would wear it well. 8)

Thanks, dude. That's an old pic anyways, from last October. I have longer hair now, but like I said it's thin as hell and thinning more all the time >:(.
-
I'm with the others. I can't see anything that looks different about your head shape from looking at your picture. Quiet the opposite in fact.
I also your head features "is what it is" and if you have really thin hair, it is probably not being hidden by the hair. I always thought the thinning hair would attrack more 'stares' than the shaved dome does.
You're still a young good looking guy, and I'm certain you will be happy with the result if you decide to try SLY.
-
Agreed. Shave it. You won't have to worry about thinning hair if it ain't there. :*))
Welcome!

Your head looks fine. Shave it.

Yep_yep... as most of us here will tell you from experience, you will be your harshest critic. Judging from your pic, your headshape looks fine. From various other threads on the forum, shave it completely down for 30 days... see how you're feeling about it then.
-
Well Ive told you before that you look good with a buzzed head and it seems that a shaved head will almost certainly suit you. Dont listen to the guys on HLT, they think that meds are wonder drugs which they arent at this moment in time, you will probably end up doing more damage to yourself physically through taking all the crap that they recommend, ontop of that you may end up mentally damaged if you listen to the kind of stuff that they say.
Long hair does not suit you, Ive seen your pics on HLT and you look alot better with a buzzed head O0

Hey, thanks man... well long hair doesn't suit me now especially because my hair is so fucking thin. This whole hairloss business is so damn hard to take, I hate it. Thanks for the positive response though. Yeah the meds haven't done anything for me yet, and I've been taking them for a year now. Fucking bullcrap.
-
Hey yepyep, there is nothing wrong with your head shape, and I think the buzz look in your avatar suits you really well. I think there is nothing wrong with having a buzz when you're thinning. You don't have to worry about anything. It shows the world that you're just getting on and living your life. You send a whole different message when your hair is long and thinning... it says 'I'm trying to pretend that my hair isn't thinning by 'trying' to cover it with long hair. People barely notice a buzz cut, but the other look really is an attention grabber in a negative way. I would say at least buzz it back to what's in your picture. This time of year is a great time to shave it all off all the way, though. I'm sure you've seen a lot of threads where guys who were hesitant to take the final plunge wish they hadn't waited so long when they finally do it. I'm sure you would be in the same boat. By the way, I would have guessed that maybe you were 20 or 21.
-
Oh yeah I would of guessed you were 22ish. Its better to look young!!! I apparently looked 27/28 with my hair long, now its buzzed and no one has commented. People who I work with would always say you look crap for your age. Which was nice. So be happy your young looking
-
Hehee, yeah I knew that I am youngish looking and your comments prove it. I often get ID'd when I'm buying booze, and the age limit is 20! I'm like, I've passed the 20 yr mark a while ago... ;D

Nice Fast Show quote ;D. Yeah I'm not complaining... it'll be especially fun if I still look young when I hit 30 or something.

Welcome and go for it bro. You won't regret it.
-
Welcome to the SBG forum yep_yep, it looks like you are the only person that thinks you have an abnormal head shape, I think it looks fine, and the sly look will definately suit you fine. Go for it bro.
-
Welcome to the world of sly! We're all apprehensive about how we look anyway, but just like some of the bros said, I think your head looks good, so go for it and try it for 30 days - it will always grow back in. I just took the plunge 2 wks ago and I haven't regretted it yet.

Um, no it won't. I'm balding :'(. I really couldn't wear my hair at its current state but I f**kING HATE my head shape.
-
yep_yep....what are you talking about..your facial structure or your cranial shape? your cranial shape is perfect for sly....your facial structure is going to be there with hair or not....if your talking about your cranial shape post a side view of it because we just can't see what your stressing over....i'd trade you cranial shapes in a heartbeat...i have pointed head but i dont let that stop me from enjoying the sly look.

I think my head is too long and narrow for sly. My face is kinda narrow aswell, hehe... anyway, yeah the side view is even worse, too bad I don't have a picture of it anymore (my hair or what's left of it covers it now). Well the thing is that I got the "bump" almost in the middle of my head when looking at the side view. Normally the bump is in the rear part of the head, not in the middle.
-
Welcome to SBGs, yep_yep! 8) I agree with everyone else here...the SLY look would work for you. Your hair cut is short enough already...why not try SLY for 3-4 weeks. I am sure you'll like it and keep it...and in the very rare case you don't, it wouldn't take you long to grow back your current style.
-
Welcome yep_yep, Welcome, and remember we are our worst critics, we see things that others dont see that we dont like about ourselves. It's really weird, but some of those things others find very attractive, and it helps. I say go sly, if you dont like it, nothing lost. Your head shape is just waiting to be Sly, give it a try, and what you have to gain is lots of compliments and headrubs.LOL... O0
-
When you stop and think about it, if you are going bald anyway, your head shape is really irrelevant. You can't hide it under mounds of hair, and if you don't at a minimum buzz your hair very short, you're going to look ridiculous. Your head shape is what it is, and from the photo you posted, you have nothing to worry about anyway.
With all the sly guys in the world today, do you really think all of them have perfectly shaped heads? No, of course not. But very few of them are so badly shaped that you would take notice of it. Only a very few people who are exceptionally blessed are without cosmetic flaws of some kind. We all tend to fixate on our own flaws because we know what they are. The rest of the world tends not to notice.

Amen, brother

Yep Yep...I agree with Kajun on this one...dude, what are you talking about, you have a perfect head to be bald....come on dude, you're a good looking guy...
I think you're being too hard on yourself...
shave the mother slick bald and go show the world how cool SLY can be! O0
-
Thanks, guys. I feel much better about it already. I also noticed that the proportions were wrong in the previous picture I had, my head looked even longer than it is. The right picture is there now and it looks much better.
-
First of all, Welcome yep_yep.
Now, look at my picture and ask your self "Do I look better than that ugly guy"? The shape of your head and face looks good to me...but, you'll look even better SLY.

Well I gotta do it anyways, whether I'll look stupid or good. My balding just doesn't give me a break and I've lost about 50% of my hair in a year. And give me a break dude, you're not ugly quite the opposite (I'm not gay :D).
-
Shave it, you won't be happy until you do
-
Hey yep. I went sly last Friday. Even though I am a newbie and certainly not an expert, I think your head looks good. You've got defined eyebrows, something I wish I had. These guys on here are the best. Listen to them - they know what they are talking about. They were there for me when I was struggling with my decision. The main thing is making yourself happy - to heck with what everyone else thinks. Try it - you'll like it.
-
Do it bro! You got the itch! You want to do it! Go Sly!
-
Well I got the time for barbers tomorrow. It will at least get buzzed short.

Dude, at least met us 1/2 way...go for the no guard buzz this time around... or just go for it slick bro... I bet you'll dig it O0

Take BaldAndre's advice. It's summer, it's hot, and what's more important - you'll love it!

My self-confidence isn't so good... so I'll just buzz it very close and then think about shaving later when everyone has adjusted to the buzz.

Sounds like a plan, man! Just don't be too afraid to at least go #1 or #0! ;)

Actually it is...I think it's the best length to show you how non-scary going the slick sly way will be for you and look on you..
when I was buzzed bald (years ago) that way my favorite length...any shorter you really should just go for the skinned head!
Good luck dude and enjoy the road to SLY!
-
Ok, I'm back... only buzzed it at #4. All the time the barber got lower and lower it reminded me how fucking ugly my head shape is. I really don't think the sly look is for me, unfortunately. Damn this cursed MPB :'(.

Your avatar photo looks like you were sporting something shorter than a #4.

Yeah I was. It was #3 on top and #2 on sides if I remember right. Couldn't wait for it to grow out back then. sh*t... wish my head was just a tad smaller.
Here are some new pics:

Damn I hate that side profile, my head is like a darn triangle instead of a human head. Too pointy and too "flat", no roundness at all.

And from the front my head is just like a deflated football.

yep_yep, I think you are being way over sensitive about your head. I still don't see anything wrong or unusual about it. You're a good looking guy and I certain that you would look good SLY also. There is nothing about your head (as it is) that is being hidden by the buzz cut that you have right now. Going SLY has to be a personal decision. But don't let your head shape be the reason you don't do it. It really does look fine.

I agree. There is not a thing wrong with the shape of your head; you really have nothing to worry about. We can always come up with excuses not to do something -- I really think you're making a big issue where none exists. If you're losing your hair anyway, you're limited to a short buzz cut that won't camoflauge a badly shaped head anyway, so what difference does it really make?
I really think you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Shave it all off and keep it smooth for -- say two weeks, and then reevaluate. If you don't like it, it grows back quickly. But at least then you'll know. Otherwise, you'll always wonder.
-
Look dude, you can either continue to worry about the shape of your head until you lose all of it and then it won't matter, because you have no hair to cover it up. Or, you can decide to shave it off now, get used to the look of your dome, and rock your confidence going forward. I really think you are blowing this whole "my head is oddly shaped" thing out of proportion.
-
:/OI'm with RazorX. You owe it a try. But, judging from your photos, you have no imminent worry. We all here at SBG like the smoothe chrome, but you're nowhere near that. Consider your options. Professor Melon

Hey dude, I totally agree with Tyler on this one...dude the shape thing is way too out proportion...I can see the shape of your head from the side...dude it's fine...and do you think that the head shape is what makes a dude that goes sly look good anyways...there are lots of factors...I for one have too round of a face for my liking...combined with the bowlingball shaped head...we're talking REAL round...
you have what is considered a classic face, chisled and oval...come on bro, you don't want to sound like one of those pretty girls that complains she gets too much attention because of her looks!
I say that with respect, but I don't get why you're scared to try going SLY at least one time...you're 2 weeks from where your hair is now and it's not like bald isn't accepted these days...
Good luck, but from the looks of your picture, you're not looking too MPB either, so I say keep the buzz till you are REALLY MPB, then you wont have so much anxiety...
in the end though remember...it's only hair, only a short amount of time and it does grow back to what it was before you shaved it off!
-
I would also agree with Tyler. I see nothing whatsoever wrong with the shape of your head - from the front or from the side. In fact, from the side the shape of your head is similar to mine - except that I'm 60 years old and also have turkey neck. Try not to be so critical of yourself.

...I for one have too round of a face for my liking...combined with the bowlingball shaped head...we're talking REAL round...
I think this has to be the first time I've heard anyone here complain that their head was too round. It's kind of like complaining that your teeth are too white.

Haha, yeah... roundness is always a plus when it comes to heads. Anyway, thanks everyone for your support. Yesterday was the 1st day my friends saw me buzzed and no one commented anything. NOT A THING. I'm guessing it's a way bigger thing for me than it is to anyone else.

Aww, my friend Razorx...always callin' me out! No, being a smaller dude, with a round face, you're always aware that at times you can look chubby or out of shape depending onwhat you choose to wear that day...put me in real cold weather clothes and I feel 200+, horrible!...Just something that I'm too aware of my whole life...
no biggy really , just somethin' that bugs occassionally...
aww, I'm such a vain individual!

As Ive come to realise lately buzzed and shaved heads arent really that big of a deal anymore.
Like Ive said countless times before you should stick with the buzzed head it looks good and I cant see any pentagon are whatever shape you claim your head to be.
-
Your head seems properly shaped.. so I wouldn't worry..
man look at me I've got a big noze and big ears... Who cares I don't I love my sly look so that's what really counts.

Hi guys. Recently buzzed. Have a paranoia about the shape of my head. There is a slight asymmetry depending on which angle you look at it from. My wife likes it and so do my friend. I was thinning on top anyway. Here is a pic of my left and right side. Judge for yourself. Replies would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
-
Dude...I see NOTHING wrong anywhere...looks like a good candidate for a compleely slcik dome..
go get the razor bro and scrape off the stubble..
you'll love it!
Welcome and shine on my soon to be balder bro!
-
Go for it bro
-
Do the final deed, shakf. Your head looks completely fine to me.
-
Welcome, shakf. The buzz looks great and there is absolutely nothing wrong with your profile, either side. It's a rather striking profile that would look terrific smooth. Not much at risk to scrape it down, either -- let it grow a few days and you'll be back to where you are in the pic. But smooth is addictive, and I bet you'd like it.
Best Wishes,
MLNHD
-
You have a great head shape! Give 'er a shave!
-
shakf.... 1st of all welcome 2 the sly brotherhood. post up in the introduction section...so that we can give ya a proper welcome. as far as your dome..... there is nothing wrong with it. u r being over-critical. looks good, brah. however.... i agree with the other sly brahs.... put a quality razor (fusion, mach3, hb) & make it smooth. O0

All I can say is that if I can shave my dome then anyone can.
I have about 5-6 fairly noticebale scars on my melon along with odd bumps and indents. Not one person has ever commented on it or noticed it.
You are your own worst critic
-
Yep I have a bump on the top of my head. Definately not perfectly round. The thing is there is not much I can do about it. So Ive just accepted it :)

Yep ... so do I now! Since bending down to feed my cat this morning & smashing my head against a wall in the kitchen! :x! It's just to the right of centre & I just noticed it a minute ago whilst shaving the noggin! :(

There's nothing wrong with an assymetrical head!!
Just look at my SLY dome!!
What ever happened to the dude that started this thread (yep_yep)?
Did he ever go SLY?

Cheers fellas. Thanks for the great encouragement. I will get it down to a grade 0 soon and post more pics. I'll add an intro later this evening. Thanks again.
-
Shakf, Like JDog said, we are our own worst critics.
I think you will find a 0 buzz is just delaying the inevitable- get your blade and gel/cream of choice and give it a shot. I guarantee you will be saying " I should have done this sooner", which is what most of the fella's have said upon finishing their first shaves.
Get it slick and sly!, you will love it. O0

Hi guys, no I haven't gone sly yet, still buzzing from time to time. Being a pale, skinny guy from Finland I'm scared of the neo-nazi comparisons to be honest... well of course everyone who knows me knows I'm not a racist, quite vice versa being sorta punk rocker etc, but it still frightens me a bit.

Honestly joking aside brother yep_yep seriously looks like Dolph Lundgren wouldn't you agree?

I notice a small resemblance to Dolph yes.

Yeah, I can see that.

Dolph is Scandanavian as well. Just check it out.

Yeah I know, he's Swedish "actor" :px most famous for his part as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV.

And oh yeah, shakf your head shape looks awesome to me. You have a small head, be proud of it... look at the size of my melon ;D. Your mother is clearly wrong if she still claims your head shape is bad.
-
look at the size of my melon
I just don't get it, yep_yep, you have a normal sized head as far as I can tell.
I think you're being too hard on yourself. You have a good facial structure witha squared off jawline, which will look good with a sly, smooth dome.
Give it a shot for the 30 day period and if you don't like it, it will grow back. But I bet you will end up liking it much more. O0

look at the size of my melon

Yeah I think you're right, actually. My head's not enormous, it's in normal limits I guess. The head shape is exactly like my fathers, although my facial structure comes from my mother. Funny thing with these genes...
-
Thats a good square jawline with high cheekbones and chisled feature. So I'd say go for the sly look man.
-
Just had to reply to this thread, thanks everyone for pointing out the obvious to yep_yep.
yep_yep - Ive told you plenty of times you look really good with a buzz cut so there shouldnt be a problem if you want to go sly and you look alot better with a buzzed head than grown out hair

They say that head asymmetry is caused by something called plagiocephaly. The condition is usually caused around birth and can be treated when you are a baby. The condition also cause asymmetry in the face. I only came across this recently and also a treatment called NCR which can be done at any age. I am making enquiries about this. Has anyone on the forum heard about this?

I don't think you have plagiocephaly, I think it's much worse than a little asymmetry that almost everyone has. Here's a pic of a kid with plagiocephaly:

Plagiocephally comes in various forms of severity and varies from one extreme to another. You can usually tell by looking at the top of someones head.

Yeah ok. Well at least I don't have plagiocephaly by looking at the top, it's pretty much of oval shape. And yeah, it actually has crossed my mind that I might have plagiocephalis :/O.

I am attaching pics of the top of my head. Take a look you will see what I mean.

....and another

...just one more after this.

...finally

I must admit I love the way my head is shape..........only thing is the shadow.
I just shaved a few hrs ago. arround noon.. so that would be 4.5 hrs ago........
actually looking at the pic you can see where the alopecia is for now.....
-
...finally
Oh yeah, man now I see what you mean. You definitely got something going on there, but it doesn't look too bad imo.
-
I usually don't look at the top of peoples heads in so much scrutiny and I don't if other people do so either. The thing that triggered it off for me was an article I read online in which the quote said "ideally your head should be symmetrical" this article was about head shaving. I've had my head shaved now for about 3 weeks and nobody has made a comment like that except my mother who obviously remembers me as a baby. Obviously the person who would look at me in detail would be my wife and she hadn't noticed till I told her, when I did she just said it was very little and under "normal" circumstances it won't be detected unless you asked someone to look for it!
-
Honestly joking aside brother yep_yep seriously looks like Dolph Lundgren wouldn't you agree?
I can see that resemblance too.
-
Shak, I'd say you will never get any remark from anyone about your head shape,which in my opinion looks normal and fine.
-
Shakf,
mate I don't see anything wrong with your head shape.
-
yep-yep,
I'd recommend going all the way. My only regret when I started shaving was ...
"WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG?"
Peace,
WBP

Hey guys I'm back to the fraternity after a hiatus of keeping "some" hair
-
Welcome back... and remember...... No hair is good hair..............
-
Welcome back Shak.
I've been known sometimes to get a bit of growth going but I always end up shaving smooth again.
-
This is an older post but I thought I would say this after reading it all
yep yep - Not sure if you want this look but you would look so mean and bad ar$$ sly I wouldnt want to take you on
Shakf - Bald is better then balding especially the extent you got going on
In general head shape is irrelevant if you dont want to wear a piece or go the surgical route. Unfortunately you cant change the shape of your face and head. Most guys trim up and work out. If you are blessed with good looks and nice eyes hair or no hair no matter. If you were hit by the fugly stick back on day one then you just got to rock on. Either that or become the next Kelly Slater... win nine or ten world championships on the professional surfing circuit and you can look however you want and still be the money
