Hi everyone,
my name is Wim and I have turned eighteen just a few months ago.
Maybe it's early, but I am -indeed- already getting bald "by nature".
I can deal with it, but since I saw a performance of Live's frontman Ed Kowalczyk, I've been wondering how a completely bald head should look...
I like to be a bit "different" to other people, just not being the typical youngster... ;)
At this very moment, I'm not exactly considering, but just wondering how it should look...
To help me imagine, I edited a picture I took with my webcam, I'll upload it so you guys can have a look.
Let me know what you think of it! (though I can guess already)
-
I think you know what the replies from the guys are goin to be and I think you know in yourself that you want to do it. Get shavin buddy. You wont regret it 8)
-
Welcome Wim. Yeah you know what everyone is going to say, and I'm no different. Go for it. It will look great.
-
After seeing your own photoshop work..
you still have hair left on your head..
bro, you will ROCK the bald head/ chin beard combo!
I know you'll dig the bald head...we all do...and since the idea is in your head...trust me bro until your head is shaved smooth..
you will not be satisfied...
I (we) speak from experience!
Go for it...bald suits ya!
-
You going to look great when you decide to actually shave your head! O0
-
definitely go for it
-
Welcome to the Forum WIM! I think you will look great with a shaved head. Your photo work clearly shows that.
As for being differnt...... well, we are everywhere you know. ;)
-
Amazed by the very soon reactions, I must say, I don't really hesitate WHETER I should do it, but more WHEN I will do it :)
It's just my age that adds a little weirdness to it: normally, 18yo people don't shave their head... Or maybe it's just in the vicinity here.
But, as I said, it's not about being different at all, that's what ROCKS O0.
It's more about the step to take.
I know I will wait a couple of months, but i DO also know, that I won't regret it once I've done it.

Welcome Wim,
As others have said Go For It !!, but why wait ? ??? Go Sly O0

I hear ya...but just like you said, it is unique...yet a lot more accepted...
why not stand out for those around you...really isn't it better and what we strive for anyways..
personally I think you've got a bit of a rocker edge to ya...and believe it or not shaving your head WILL give you more of that look!
Don't over think it..it really is only hair...
and you may actually like your looks MORE once you're totally bald ! ;)
At least that's THIS bald by choice dude's story! ;)
-
The photoshopped pic looks great, dude. Post a pic when you decide to do the deed.

Maybe a stupid question... but, what does SBG exactly stand for? ???
I figured out BBC means Bald By Choice (?), so I expect SBG must have something to do with Sly By G... Godswill? ^-^

Good, very good. Now or a few months won't make any difference except that you're going to continue to agonize over this the entire time--and we don't enjoy watching anyone doing that when we know 1) you obviously want to shave it off and rid yourself of male pattern baldness, 2) you know how you'll look and it's good, 3) and it's a well considered change in your appearance, i.e. the smart thing to do. You've got MPB, now it's just a few minutes away from, to borrow your term, God's Will! Get to the Blade!

Ah, of course!
Well yeah, thanks ;)
You wanna know somethings guys? I put the photoshopped picture on my messenger avatar, and already got a lot of good reactions! :)
Some people I told the truth, to some other people I didn't ;)
It's not taking this long maybe...

Jump right in...you already tested the water with the creative photoshopping...great idea to do that. Wish I would have thought of that while I was on the fence, errr, diving board. Welcome!

Go for it Wim
-
Dude, you gotta do it! Make sure you keep the chinstrap, too, it looks badass with a bald head.

Dude the bald head looks good!! The best time to take control of the situation is when you are young!! You will bypass any issues you might have in the future with hair loss!!
Oh and welcome to the forum!! O0
-
Looks good mate!
To make the transition easier I'd clipper it down gradually over the next few weeks. That way your parents etc will get used to the shorter hair first.
-
Wecome Wim. If it is on your mind to shave the head, go on and do the deed.

Now here's again a guess which I'm sure of that it is incorrect, but...
MPB --> Male and Prematurely Bald? :P
-
Thats me dude, hit the nail on head, Male and prematurly bald!! But it stands for Male Pattern Baldness!!
-
Welcome, Wim. You've had all the positive feedback you need to peel the onion! Go for it!
-
Alright my friend, we're currently in waiting mode for the "After" picture...... :x!
-
Well, thanks everybody for your opinion.
Now, the result of putting it on my avatar: in general, men like it and say it ROCKS, women (or should I say, girls) don't like it, some have fear (ghaha :D), others think it's criminally insane (a'ight then :o), and some say I can't enter their houses anymore (but they are kidding.. I hope ;))
My parents even saw it, and they don't like it either, so that's a bit of a struggle.
Now here's what I decide to do:
I will wait till I got my permanent driver's license, since last time I put a ring into my ear, my dead refused to be "tutor"...
And now if I get shaved, he probably will cancel the new deal again.
I hope you understand.
For those who don't: you can always ask your questions ;)
So, here's why I will wait a couple of months.
Step by step.
Till there's nothing left :p
-
Wim, welcome. I have now been sly for about seven weeks. It took me a few months to actually do it. Now I wonder why I waited. I don't think it is possible to understand just how good it feels till you have done it. I just would not go back to having a bit of hair again, and age is irrelevant.
My advice - don't waste precious time, do it now. After all, the worst case if you don't like it is to let it grow again.

Welcome to SBG Wim!

When I first shaved mine,everybody loved it, my girlfriend,friends,neighbors.no one said anything negative.If you are unsure take your time,play around with the length and see what you like,I am sure being young and shaving your head bald some would question your sanity.Have fun with it.

Quit thinking of it and just do it
I am going to leave these in here because it could really throw everything off....BUT THIS POST WAS UNINTENTIONAL

TimmJ, is it just Friday that's driving you to these abrupt, terse and sharp answers on all the threads this afternoon or are your Red & Whites riding up and squeezing you?

A late welcome to you wim. Just catching up here.
Sounds like you are on your way to sly, but you can do it gradually, as many of us have.
This will allow you and others around you to get used to the new look. Once you do shave, give it the thirty day run so your scalp can get used to the blade.
You may have even done it by now, so if you have, enjoy the new slick and smooth dome! O0

Thanks! But what exactly is it you mean by saying "a thirty day run"? Once shaven for the first time, not to let it grow again in the first thirty days?
To anyone: I haven't decided yet, since I'm studying for my exams by now, and as you can read somewhere above, I will wait till I got my driver's licence, simply since otherwise my father doesn't want to go and ride with me anymore.
