• Receding and thinning at 20 !!! Shaved it ! by ike_69 on 13 May, 2010 04:24
• Hey guys , m new to the forum
  
  Im 20 and my hairline has receeded badly n m losing hair on top too.. i used to have a head full of hair and getting women was never a problem for me..
  but off late since i started losing hair im downhill on the self confidence aspect..
  
  so i went ahead one day and shaved it all off but many people told me i dont look good without hair       I HATE to combover and hide it because its gone beyond that, i guess.
  Baldness runs in the family my dad, uncles, moms side, every1 is bald..
  plus i have a naturally tanned complexion n lot of facial hair n hair on my body.
  
  i really dont wanna end up being lonely , u know, no1 does.
  
  iv included a pics with my hair buzzed and with it shaved clean.
  
  take a look and tel me if it suits me?

  I'd bet most of the nay sayers are relatives.  You did what was best for you, and HELLO, it worked.  You look fine.  Try a little facial hair, goat, beard whatever--probably would look nice. 
  But, having come down the combover road myself, I can assure you you did the right thing.  Chin, hairy w/ a beard or not, up.  Get on with living.  Oh, stay smooth too.

• You look much better sly than buzzed.  You're a handsome guy.  It's all in your head, not on your head....Keep up the sly look.

• Hi and welcome to the forum.
  You look good shaved but its not obvious in the buzzed picture that you are going bald. Hard to tell by one picture. But yeah, if you like it shaven and it makes you feel comfortable, dont listen to what other people say.

• It looks great man.  Keep it.   You look great buzzed but shaved takes it up another notch or two.
