Title: Well I Guess My Question Is Obvious Right?
Post by: sjblack on July 25, 2014, 05:38:27 PM: Morning y'all,
Trying to figure out if I can pull this Sly look off. Just got this cut today, a low bald fade with a blur length on top. As I said in my introduction post, the attached pic is the lowest I've cut my hair since elementary school. I typically keep my hair at wave length or a bit longer so going bald will truly be by choice. I am a bit concerned because I have a prominent brow (which I don't care for & I can't tell if the pics are really showing it), sloped forehead and I think years of wearing durags and wave caps have given me wrinkles on the dome. *chuckle* I've never seen anybody near my head shape that was bald or BBC so I don't know what do y'all think?

Oh the link is how I typically keep my hair.

I think that's all unless y'all got any other questions for me or need another picture. I'll go read the SLY Affirmations again awaiting your responses.
Thanks!

Post by: sjblack on July 26, 2014, 04:04:28 PM: Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Its so much information here I'm slightly...ok very overwhelmed. I have no idea of where to start past buzzing off the rest of my hair. I spent a lot of time just looking at y'alls shaving routines and I am still overwhelmed. Can you tell I over think a lot & prefer less options? One thing I am sure of is that I'm terrified of getting ingrowns and razor bumps. Its the very reason I kept a beard since I was 16, but I digress. Any suggestions on what I should get and use for "The First Shave." {sidebar, You'd think that would be a pinned thread on here right?} I'd go sly tomorrow if I knew what I was doing and doing it right. I need a tutor! Anybody near atlanta wanna help a guy go sly? LOL!
