Title: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: Tyler on September 04, 2006, 10:56:56 PM
Here's the progression of my going from having hair, to shaving my head with clippers, to shaving my head completely bald and growing a goatee.  Do you have any before and after pics?  Post them up here!

Hey, Tyler, nice pics. You look better with the shaved head.
Growing a moustache and a goatee was a great idea too (works well with many bald people).
Thanks for sharing!

Nice pics Tyler. I don't think I have many pics since I've been shaving. At least not without a hat on. I'll have to see if I can find some.

Thanks PigPen!  Hopefully you have some more pics that we can take a look at.

Post by: Robmeister on November 10, 2006, 08:07:15 AM
Ok, not TRUE before and after....but a pretty good rendering.  For those like myself who have been on the fence, you can go to  http://headshave.baldlygo.com/ and for a very nominal fee this guy does a good job of taking an uploaded picture of you with hair and does a rendering of how you could look when you shave.  He actually does several renderings including adding goatee (he gave me 6 renderings @ about $1.66 a piece.

It helped get some of the "shock" over with for my wife and kids.

Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: Robmeister on November 10, 2006, 08:15:20 AM
3 questions for the forum folk:

1)  My wife thinks I will look older with the chromedome -- whatta ya think?
 
2)  Most of you handsome baldies have dark and/or prominent eyebrows -- what's your take on my diminutive brows?

3)  Are there any of you out there who have a good head of hair when you don't shave ... i.e. your not shaving to avoid the innevitable "comb over"?
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: ar3inc on November 10, 2006, 10:01:14 AM
Robmeister,
1. I got the same reaction from people when I first started to shave it.  It really is not older, but more distinguished.  There goes that double gender standard of aging, but it's true.  So, exploit it.
2. Brows are just there.  I would like mine to not be so predominate.  So you're good there, too.
3.  I shaved my dome to “cover” my gray hair not the loss of hair.  Now that I have found other benefits, I could not just provide one reason for doing it, but I assure you hiding loss or color of hair is at the very bottom of the list.

Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: Tyler on November 10, 2006, 11:10:49 AM
I echo what ar3inc says.

I think bald would be a good look for you in the sense that it will help you look more distinguished.

A General idea of the before pic which makes me cringe everytime I see it.

Doesn't seem there is a guy on there who doesn't look better SLY.  Robmeisterquestion 1, stay SLY man, definite air of confidence and control. Answer your third part I for one have a full head of hair if not shaved.  As for better SLY or hairy will try to find pic and let you guys be the judge.

Post by: Slickdome on February 15, 2007, 11:10:28 PM
I always looked younger than I was, because I'm cursed with a babyface.  The addition of facial hair definitely remedied that problem; the slickdome with any form of facial hair gives me an age-appropriate look.

There are two other advangates: your gal likes your dome and you can stay shaved without altering your look as you mature. Great pics--much more enlightening than words. All best, Prof. Melon

Yeah, I used to get that A LOT. I still hear it, just not as much. The sad part is that I wore my hair like that WAY before Em came out. I never bleached it (unless it was to dye it another color) or anything like that. But it didn't matter what color my hair was, when it was blue and my goatee was about 5 or 6 inches long people STILL told me that i looked like Eminem. I got so sick of hearing that crap!

I used to have hair like that. Then I cut it short in college where it was closer to straight on the sides but still had some curl on top. Then as MPB really kicked in, I went to the #3 on the clippers, than #2, then #1 until I finally wised up to my appearance.

As they say, the rest is history.

Ok, not TRUE before and after....but a pretty good rendering.  For those like myself who have been on the fence, you can go to  http://headshave.baldlygo.com/ and for a very nominal fee this guy does a good job of taking an uploaded picture of you with hair and does a rendering of how you could look when you shave.  He actually does several renderings including adding goatee (he gave me 6 renderings @ about $1.66 a piece.

It helped get some of the "shock" over with for my wife and kids.

I always looked younger than I was, because I'm cursed with a babyface.  The addition of facial hair definitely remedied that problem; the slickdome with any form of facial hair gives me an age-appropriate look.

You definitely look much younger without the hair.  And you said the before pic was from 10 years ago?

Isn't it funny how your initial "view" of someone is the lasting impression?  When somebody you know shaves his head for the first time, it seems a little strange (even when it looks good) until you get used to seeing them that way.  But when you meet someone who is already bald, it's hard to imagine them any other way.   I've been "seeing" everyone here in their avatar photos for so long, and none of you looks right with hair when you post "before" pics.

Hey Razorx...

I agree I look way younger bald than with hair...I've always said it can be the fountain of youth...not many people ever peg me for being 40yrs old (in a month)... very nice!

BTW, Are you sportin' the no-brow look RazorX (looks it in the new avatar), just wanted to say if you are, the look rocks for you...and not many dudes can say that...like 1% can....

maybe.

No, the brows are there but they're blond and don't show up very well in photos.  My facial hair is a lot darker than my brows or what I had on the scalp.  But thanks anyway!!

 Another reason why I never stuck with a clipper-shave.  You couldn't see any stubble anway, so it didn't look any different and sure didn't feel as good as a smooth razor shave.

Dude, you really changed your overall look...much more sly that is for sure...nice move!

Seriously though, I'm real surprised you've never considered ditching the brows all together, since they are so light and the look really works and makes you look even MORE bald ...

 the big goatee  is what makes it look balanced...like Cold Stone Steve Austin....

you got that vibe going, not bad!

Yeah, it's been a big change.  It's kind of strange when I would run into people that I hadn't seen in a long time because usually they wouldn't recognize me.

As for the brows - I once came close to ditching them due to an accident.  I usually keep them trimmed with my beard trimmer.  One morning a couple of years ago I got up and went into the bathroom and noticed they were getting bushy.  I grabbed the beard trimmer, and I was still half asleep and didn't notice that the guard was not on the trimmer until after I'd sheared off half of the left brow.   I stood there for a moment or two wondering if I shouldn't shave them both off to balance things out, but in the end I decided not to.  Nobody noticed, but I sure did feel self-conscious about it until it grew back!!

Well, put it this way RazorX...if you do ever slip up  grooming the brows again, I wouldn't sweat it or be self conscience about taking them off completely...doesn't look bad and I'm sure when you had the mishap, NO ONE was the wiser!
 
Heck I already thought you had shaved them off ...and looked fine by me!

Heck , I gotta live vicariously through guys like you that can pull the look off...lord knows with my whole look revolving around the bushy brows...I WOULD look a bit off!

Hey your balded friends Medic and Medicine Man did it and actually dug the look for a while..

So, you'll look a bit closer to Stone Cold than you already do, nothin' wrong with that!

OK, I did it.  I must be crazy, but I did it.  I wasn't going to but finally figured that if I could shave my head then surely I could do this.

 Not a dramatic change and most people probably won't notice.  Feels a little freaky.  I posted photos to the gallery because they were too big to upload here.

Hey Rx..one last thing....

Enjoy the long weekend with your new extra baldness..you will be the only one who notices (and maybe some other bald dudes with envy of how bald you look)...

So try not to be too overly conscience of it, you'll enjoy it more and that confidence will just make those around you appreciate your sparkly shiny hairless head (and now brows too).

Have a good weekend dude and enjoy the balder, more aerodynamic you!

Take care my bald brutha..you do rock!

I tried trimming my brows last spring and I got a little too carried away.  I used the beard trimmer and kept taking them down a notch at a time.  When I used the #1 setting, I knew I had gone one step too far.  It REALLY looked bad on me; no one said anything, but compared to my full brows, it was SO bare.  I tried to disguise it was wearing a pair of glasses, but I was totally self-conscious until they grew back...which took a good month before they started to fill in.

Doesn't look bad.  Better with the brows, but without wasn't as bad as you described.

I think my eyebrows have thinned over the years.   I'm not sure when this started to happen, but it occurred to me tonight that they weren't always so "invisible", in fact when I was a kid they were pretty thick.  I looked back at some old pictures from high school, and you could definitely seem them in the photos.  Do people lose their eyebrows, like they lose the hair on their heads?  I know that women who overpluck them sometimes do, but do they ever just "disappear" on their own?  If they do, then I'm thinking that mine might not grow back. That would be far from the end of the world, but I would like them back at some point.   :XX  Should be interesting to see what happens.

Here's some pic's of me before and after choosing the way of sly...from a long while ago....

It's so funny to see you guys with hair...ya'll go from normal to superstud...hahaha

oh, beautiful wedding photo!!!

Always nice to hear...especially from the fairer of the sexes...thanks for the props on the wedding photo too...

I'm glad I had enough sense (and so did the wife) to ditch the hair completely for such a big occassion...been bald and sly ever since! ;)

You know that's the second time i've heard that suggestion...the first was this past year, at my 20yrs reunion....this girl ( i don't really remember her in school)...CUTE but nasty, sat on my lap, was totally intrigued the whole night with my bald head ( most folks said it looked way good on me) :), and asked if my head was the ONLY thing I shaved...I said , well, yea, and she said I think you shave shave it ALL off...and kinda kept on it that whole night too....

it was quite a fun night, that's for sure...still haven't taken her cue...who knows life's short...maybe one day!

Dude, just like the HeadBlade, it takes a few goes to get the hang of things shavin' down south... Speaking as a brother that see's that his carpet matches his drapes. 

Think about it this way, do unto others... Except instead its Do unto yourself as you would expect others to do to themselves!  :D

Dude, I guess "mr. CLEAN" is the correct name for you! So, pretty much the only hair thing you go going is your self maintaining brows...wow.

very cool, I bow down to your devotion to your namesake!

Hmmm, if I showed up with the "boys" all of a sudden "sly" the wife might wonder 'what's up"...someone getting some thoughts into that head of yours...you're not gettin' a little 'strange" on the side, are you"?

I think things like that easier for single dudes to just up and do!

Ok, then I'll add if you have the b*lls (no pun intended) to do it, no one to answer to ...and with anyone new it's like Nirvana said..."come as you are"...any newbie in a "single dude's domain"i.e. the bedroom will just not know you as any different...

they'll just figure "bald" is really your thing!

I have to say that it wasn't the best picture I ever took with hair.  Mostly due to being pissed off at having to wait at the DMV for so long and then being told I had to re-take the test because I lived out of state for 6 months.  Like I forgot how to drive in CA during that time.

Anyways, I agree.  I think I rock the Sly look much better than the hairy look.  I really wish I would have done it in college.  Oh, that would have been epic!

The first before pic is from October of last year and is a good example of the kind of hairstyle I have had most of my life.
Since I am thinning in the front, over time, I have had to style my hair more carefully to create the illusion of fullness.

The second before pic is from last November.  I grew some facial hair and buzzed my hair down to a #4 guard.
I was surprised to see how much thinner it had become since the last time I buzzed it.

My after pic is my avatar (I shaved my head last week).

Hi guys (and gals),

Im new to this forum and think that its great to see so many of you sharing tips, encouraging each other and generally having good old friendly banter.

I still get a few people say I looked better with hair, but what they can't seem to get their head around is that I had no choice!... sure I could go with the whole monk look... but didn't really want to... made me look to old (Im only 23)!

What do you guys think? honest opinions please....

PS. Im very drunk in all the pictures (only live once!)

PPS. The pic with me in a black shirt was taken New years eve just gone, the others were the summer before.

PPPS. The most recent pic is my avatar

Seriously....100% better...you do look OLD in the pictures...especially the last one....you look more fit and WAY clean in your avatar!

Don't listen to what others say that AREN't in your shoes...you had the b@lls at an early age to face the facts and just shave off what was left of your hair's former glory.....

Keep it SLY brutha...bald looks good one you....

and remember it's fun to keep people 'guessin' and askin' why you shave your head....tell them becasue YOU like having a bald head...not because you have no other options!! 8)

Dude, the bald, sly look gives you more of an 'edge"....nice move!
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: Baldan on May 21, 2007, 01:30:34 PM
Thanks guys.

To be perfectly honest, the main thing that's important is that I like it sly and therefore project this higher confidence, which can only be a good thing.

I also see it that those who don't like it, thats fine, there are (and I KNOW there are) women out there who do like the bald look and it's sites like this that remind me of that.

I will be sticking around for some time and hope to gradually get to know all of you.

Thanks again for your kind comments.

OMG, Dan.  It was definitely time to shave.  You looked way older than your years in those pictures.  Kudos to you to have the guts to take care of what Mother Nature dealt to you.  Again, if there was a top 10 before and after section, you would have my vote to make it in the top 5.  What an improvement.

I know it's hard to evaluate one's own appearance objectively, but you shouldn't even have to ask this question.   Sly wins hands-down; it's a real no-brainer.

I have the same frontal-balding hairloss pattern and I honestly do not think anybody looks good with a hairline that is that receded.  Buzzing it short makes it look better but doesn't solve the problem.  Going completely sly is the only fix.  Your avatar pic is a HUGE improvement.  Stay slick and never look back.

Wow, bro , big change! You look good with hair, but i think goin' the bald sly route, give you more of an edge...plus now you don't look like you just got off the set of "The Breakfast Club"! ;)

Did you ever get the Judd Nelson reference when you had hair?

Gotta tell you the Aussie's hounded me and the wife on our honeymoon and some of the other times we went to OZ... I get the Andre Agassi thing....,a lot...

In fact  took pictures with a  middle eastern couple ( I told them I wasn't , but they insisted)
A barbershop quartet in the "Rocks" area kept harrassing me with "Agassi" songs everythime I pass, funny
A girl practically ran over her baby repeating the words...you're him, you're him!"
and lots of mentions almost everywhere we went...

it was pretty fun!
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: BALDANDRE on August 03, 2007, 08:48:18 AM
X...man, big change for you too and like I said to Jdog...much cooler edge now....you got more of a "rock star" vibe goin' now...

wise move my friend, i hope you're diggin being bald! O0
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: JDog on August 03, 2007, 08:54:09 AM

Man that before pic was taken just after I got done swimming.LOL .It is weird you say it Andre because I ALWAYS got the Judd Nelson look a like reference in high school and afterwards.  :*)) I can never see it but it seems I hear it alot.
I can see the Agassi resemblance absolutley. I can imagine what you would have gone through with it, he is a revered status in OZ, they are tennis mad. HAHA. Did you like the Rocks? I've had many a pub crawl there over the years. Did you go to the Lowenbrau,the big German pub there? Last year I was kicked out of there and banned from entering the premises for 5 years for attempting to steal a big beer Stein out of the establishment after a big night out .HAHA

Shine on Bro!
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: BALDANDRE on August 03, 2007, 09:08:43 AM
Well, if you ever got sick of the Judd Nelson reference I would say you shaved that reference off ..forever! O0 you still do resemble him, but not so much no that you're bald.

So, it makes sense that i got the agassi reference HUGE there,,, I get it here, but it was crazy over there, fun though. Me and the wife LOVED the rocks area! We only had a few oints, not too much out of control...we were there on St. Patty's day (on  a layover)...the town was going nuts....at 2:00pm...Sunday session, you know! I love the whole Sunday session vibe! O0 O0 O0

Banned and you didn't even get the Stein as a trophy...did they say get the *f* out of here, you "Cepo"!

 :) I think their words were "I'm calling the cops  if we ever see your face here again, We have you on camera and you are not welcome into our establishment again until 2010."

But yeah I've heard Seppo way too many times.

Andre who I think you bear a striking resemblance to is Dan Andriano, the bass player/co lead singer of my fav band ever Alkaline Trio.He is on the far right.

John, just to clarify, without knowing how old you are, that shaved you look about 40ish. With hair and the facial hair, you looked more mid 50's. With hair you look like the Dad, without you look like the son. Very big difference, for the better.

Anyway, John, basically whichever look you decide to go with (& there's no law which says you have to decide on one look & stick with it )  all look fine. You look good totally shaved but I thought you looked ok with the goatee or even with just the 'tash & actually you seem to be one of the few lucky guys who looks great with a full beard too (of which - I'm jealous  :x! ) ... so basically ... just have fun with it

The one definite BIG improvement though ... was going SLY to begin with ... but then you know that already!  O0

I still get a few people say I looked better with hair, but what they can't seem to get their head around is that I had no choice!... sure I could go with the whole monk look... but didn't really want to... made me look to old (Im only 23)!

What do you guys think? honest opinions please....

PS. Im very drunk in all the pictures (only live once!)

PPS. The pic with me in a black shirt was taken New years eve just gone, the others were the summer before.

PPPS. The most recent pic is my avatar

I tried to resize these photos to make the faces the same size.

The pictures were taken about a year (and 25 lbs) apart.

Here is one of me taken on the 19th of August this year at my little cousins wedding. As you can see my thinning had progressed rapidly and hiding the baldness was not an option anymore. Since then my cousin has also gone SLY and he has a very very thick full head of hair.

Post by: BaldBen on September 26, 2007, 09:33:34 AM
Shak,
Have to say that you didn't look that bad.

Why did you get rid of your beard? I think you looked better with it (the beard, not the hair). It gave your face more symmetry and balance. 

You can still sport a beard with the SLY look, just keep it neat and trim.
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: shakf on September 26, 2007, 09:45:30 AM
I just don't like the cut off point on the beard when you have the SLY look. Also it is very high maintenance due to having very dark growth. The shaping around the cheeks is very time consuming.

Hey guys I'm brand new to the sly and so far I'm liking it. I'm only 18 though and have no hair loss but I was tired of having hair and styling it haha. I took a look at the forums and made up my mind the same night. Love the look too. I'll be going airforce here soon and plan to be sly the whole way in but my dad has said that if I go in sly they will give me crap about it trying to say I'm trying to be special because I'm supposed to get my hair shaven off when I go into basic but seriously I did it for the look and I was curious.  :D

Hey Malachi, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  I don't think they'll give you too bad of time for shaving your head, other than just using it as a reason to give you a bad time.  I wasn't in the military, but I'm sure some of the other guys can comment and let you know what to expect.
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: Paul on October 01, 2007, 03:43:18 AM
Hey Malachi and welcome.  You may get some grief on your current look, but only because the Air Force is not known for wearing their hair as short as the other services.  There are quite a few guys going into the military today with buzz cuts and shorter so it has become a more common thing than years ago.

Welcome Malachi!

Boot camp is about breaking you down, so if you don't have hair to buzz off (a way to break someone down) they may resort to something else.

Take it with a grain of salt -- i.e. don't take it personally. It's just something to get through.
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: BALDANDRE on October 02, 2007, 09:54:52 PM
Looks good sly Malachi!

I would grow out your hair for at least a week, let them think they "changed "you...let them think you WANT hair..

a week of hair is totally worth possible less grief!

When you're up and runnin' in the force, keep it smooth brutha!

Welcome to SBGs, Malachi! 8)

The buzz looks great on you!  Congrats on entering the military...don't think it will be a big deal at all you entering that way.  Maybe someone will give you a hard time(for a day), but just go with that and look for other things you can do to lead from the front! :popo

Malachi, it looks great and quite edgy compared to the before pic.  Congrats on going into the military, and thanks in advance for your service.  I admire all of those serving in our armed forces - past and present.

Like somebody said the other day -- the before pic is OK until you see the SLY photo.

Your transformation video ROCKS.  O0

You got very SLY results just using the trimmer! Or did I miss something? Did you do a quick headshave after?

Thanks!

I used the trimmer and the HB Sport. After I lather up in the video I moved to the HB. It didn't get much on camera time though because I had to cut the video to fit with the music.

I'm thinking you should enter a similar one that features the HB a little more into the Clear Headblade giveaway...hint hint.   ;)

Ironically enough, I was up late last night starting to rework the video for that very purpose. I actually had some product placement shot in the original video but I had to take them out get it to fit with the music length. Should be up in a day or two...

Well tonight I put up a new avitar.  Since I did that, and have a new computer, I thought I would finally let you see the before and after pics of myself with various looks.  What do you all think?
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: shyslyguy on November 02, 2007, 02:41:24 AM
Marshd,

I think you carry off the full beard with sly dome really really well. The Goatee looks fine too - Most importantly though, you look much younger & more dynamic with the sly look than in the top pic with the comb-over thingy going on!  O0

So, in conclusion I'd say : Keep it sly  O:O


Oto, that is one thick & full head of hair you got in your "before" pic mate - 100% bbc -  but I'd still say the shaved look suits you better - looks really good on you.  O0
Title: Re: Before and After Bald Pics
Post by: marshd1000 on November 02, 2007, 08:10:57 AM
Shy, I need to make one small correction, I have NEVER worn a combover!  The top picture is just me with my extremely receding hairline cut pretty short.  But what keeps me sly was as comment when a co-worker told me that I was noticeably thinning in the back around the time the picture of me with hair was taken.  Prior to that, I had only known about the front hairline making a retreat.  About that same time, I was at a family function and there was some video taken with me in it and the bird's nest in the back was showing.  Thankfully I have never done the combover!

It's proof positive that you've made the right choice.  Looks like you dropped some weight too.  Was that brought on by shaving, or shaving brought on by losing weight?  The combination really takes the years off yourappearance, now it's neat, clean and sharp.
