You look very good. I cant imagine what you looked like with a big pile of fake hair on your head. This is so much more contemporary. Dont hestiate to buzz/shave off the back/sides. It will feel even better and look excellent.

Nice job, enjoy being free. Mind if I ask a question?
What did you do with the "dead animal?"

Thanks, guys - I'm loving the bald thing so far. I've had a few days to live with it and my husband took it shorter than it is in the pic - to a 1 guard. My hair is light, so it's hardly visible. I may just go for the full sly look eventually, but I like the way it looks right now. I'll post an updated pic sometime soon. I'll be going to work tomorrow, the first time since I had the hair removed. I did send a pic giving everyone at work a preview, and I posted a new profile pic on Facebook, which has definitely reduced the anxiety. Many of my coworkers, family, and friends have seen me now and I've gotten only great positive comments so far (as many of you suggested would happen). I'm really not very nervous about the real life "reveal" now, so for me the preview reveal was a good thing and I'd recommend it to others. My husband and I went shopping and out for dinner and drinks yesterday and I felt great!
Whew...what a relief. Still a little anxiety, but more than anything I feel free. I also love the 5 minute shower...already saving so much time and energy.
Saintc - my hair stylist threw it in the trash! I do have to say that my hair was not terrible - I've seen some other guys who go to HCM who clearly don't put the time or care required into the process. It truly is a grueling, expensive, frustrating process. BUT - and I don't know if people are being sincere or not - most of my coworkers and friends say they never suspected it wasn't my hair. Event my smart ass friends who would love to tease me about something like this! I guess I'll never know if it actually really fooled anyone. All I care about now is not having to worry about whether it is or not. Thanks for all your support , guys! I'm happy and proud to be part of SBGs now! -

whether this is my imagination or not, I don't know, but your pic with the buzzed hair looks so much more 'real' than the one with the fake hair, and I mean that sincerely: it's a vast improvement IMO

You had too much hair for it to be natural from that pic in my opinion. No one's hair is really that thick and with a low and straight line of hair growing out of your forehead. I do think though that since it was blond fake hair less people would realize it was fake. The reason why is that most people opt for fake dark hair which somehow seems less natural from guys I see that still have it. I have one friend who has had it for like 15 years and sometimes allows for a bit of gray mixed with the dark brown. He changes the look of it with long hair at the front hiding the "edge". Also he dyes his goatee dark brown to match. But most times it just looks blantantly fake and he knows it. But he is a bit overweight, out of shape so this is his one piece of "youth" he can cling to even though everyone knows he is insecure and clinging to his fake hair. Im very happy you went natural and you look very good bald and I hope you will try shaving smooth very soon. You will love it. Oddly with the fake hair you look like a young Chuck Norris somehow... not something to aspire to IMO
