Ok so my friend got me drunk tonight and I shaved my head.....I have been lurking on the site for about a year off and on and the mpb has been getting worse over that time. I am 31 and started loosing my hair at 19 or so. It has prevented me from enjoying social events outdoors like swimming or playing sports or I guess even to an extent dating because I was so self conscious about my lack of hair and what it would look like the next day. I am still allot freaked out about it but he says it looks way better. Tomorrow will be the true test as it will be my first day out in public and at work....I bought some bald head moisturizer and head wipes. So far it feels weird but we'll see how it goes. No going back since the mpb was so bad it would look stupid trying to grow i back.....ok enough rambling on what do you guys think?
-
Dude!
You look GREAT..why would you think it's weird..
fits you perfect...wait till you (and you should) for at least 30 days..
the confidence you'll have a 100% will blow your mind..
Keep it smooth my bald bro!
PS..if it's not a shadow, lose the stache..you'll be the perfect Mr Clean and complete the perfect bald look!
-
I don't know what you looked like before, but now you look awesome! Sly suits you, bud!
-
Thanks guys I appreciate the positive feed . If i can find an old pic I will post but I avoided pics as much as possible so might be hard.
-
I concur with everyone else....looks great bro and suits you well....!! O0
-
You look sharp and clean. I hope it wasn't too difficult your first time with all the advice on the site.
Welcome!

welcome on board O0

a before / after pic would be cool. ;)

Welcome to the Forum Daran! And Dude...... you are rockin' the SLY look! Looks like you've been wearing it for years!
-
Looks great man. Welcome
-
welcome dude.
congrats on finally shaving it off(even if you were drunk)
but now you're on board with some of the classiest guys on earth
-
Dude! I gotta see a pic of you with hair because I just can't see it. You totally own the shaved head. Run with it man, it's workin.
-
but I avoided pics as much as possible ...
Well you certainly no longer need to fear the camera!
-
Welcome. Looks really good dude. I agree with Andre...you would probably look better with no stache but either way it looks great.
-
Welcome Daran. It looks great, dude! I'm sure you'll get great reactions.
-
Welcome! Looks great!! O0
-
Welcome to the sly side: lookin good. You made the right decision! 8)
-
Looks great! How was the first day at work? My guess is most of the women loved it and many told you. Most of the guys were probably indifferent...some are sly wanabees. If there are other sly guys at work, they probably complimented your haircut.

Welcome daran! The sly look suits you!
-
I think it looks great. Your friends did you a big favor.
-
Well the first day at work went ok. I went to 2 of my 24 stores and had a reaction of shock or looks good, you look younger and from a fellow sly brother "nice cut" no negative feedback to my face. So now I have to repeat this for 22 more stores. I think that was my biggest hang up for me not being able to get it over with in one day. I did shave my face clean just was lazy over the weekend so I plan to be clean shaven since I can't seem to grow a proper goatee. Thanks everyone for your positive comments it does help.

Here is a photo of me with hair. Not the best and doesn't really show how thin my hair was getting but I think it gives you an ideas.
-
No doubt about it, you made a wise decision.

daran daran,
It looks great. You made the right decision. You look much younger sly than with hair.

Razor gets it right again.

Darin, Great look--No, make that AWESOME!!!!
-
Daran...man after you posted that pic there is NO DOUBT you made the right decision.
Stick with it man...own the look. You look 1000 times better.
-
Daran, I couldnt tell that those pics were of the same person. Your look now looks like you have much more confidence within your self. I say you made a great decision. Looks natural on you bro. Keep that look, you own it!

No comparison. Keep it sly!

Yo man, you were meant to be sly. Your before and after pic should win an award. Congrats to you and your new look!
-

The sly look is certainly a vast improvement: you looked like a follower before: now you look like a LEADER! O0
-
Welcome to SBG!
daran, you look 100% better! O0
-
Congrats! Glad your first day sly to the world went well. For me after 4 1/2 months of slyness, there are still some rough times, but most of the time it is great. At work, it is like I have been sly forever.
-
Personally I think you look alot better SLY. Even after a few months...I shaved back in June of 08..I am still getting used to it but overall like it this way alot better. O0
-
yo dude, you have the sly look killed. I'm a little jealous that your head shape is better than mine.
but I think soon you will look back at pictures of yourself with hair and think about how silly you looked, and you'll wish you had shaved sooner
-
sharp, clean and a somewhat military look. a winning look.
-
Well here is an update. Day 5 of being sly and have too say I am liking it!! Some of the reactions have been pretty funny...two managers almost fell off their chair. So I have been to 7 stores so 17 more to go...I kinda enjoy seeing the reactions. Tonight I went to dinner at one of my regular places and it took the waitress a minutes to recognize me and couldn't get over it. It is liberating not having to worry about the wind or rain. I had no ideas I spent so much time stressing about things like that until today.
So a big thank you for the support and helping a guy out.
-
That's great duran, glad things are working out so welll for you and your enjoying your new found freedom...!! O0
-
Hey Daran, a late welcome to you bro. I gotta say it is an awesome change.
It's like night and day, and you look more confident and younger to boot.
It works for you, keep it. O0

It may not show your thinning, but it does show why you needed to ditch the hair -- 500% improvement. You look much younger too. Way to go! O0
-
Sorry for chiming in so late on this one, but please allow me to now Welcome you to the SBG Family daran. Might I also add that the SLY look suits you well.
-
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and support. It has been almost two weeks now and I am really liking it. I have had pretty positive feedback. I get asked why I did it allot and this puzzles me because I thought the mpb was pretty obvious, I am not sure if they are shocked that I shaved it all off instead of a short haircut. I few people have asked if I plan to grow my hair back but I think that once you go sly and are loosing your hair there is no going back. I will try to post a better pic soon, my avatar is from the first night with my iphone. Thanks again

Lookin good m8. Well done!!
-
No doubt about it, you made a wise decision.
It really wasn't his decision. You're forgetting he was under the influence.
Ok so my friend got me drunk tonight and I shaved my head. No going back since the mpb was so bad it would look stupid trying to grow i back.....ok enough rambling on what do you guys think?
Daran, you should thank your friend. He did you a big favor getting you drunk. Joking aside, you're a natural baldie. Keep it SLY. O0
-
Not sure how I missed your intro ???
But like everyone else has stated you own the look. Welcome to SBG 8)
I hope you are still enjoying the freedom associated with Sly and see just how little hair has to do with who you are.
Congrats, now you should get your friend drunk and DD him around just to say thanks O0

Let's put it this way: rarely does alcohol-induced behavior turn out this well. ;)
