I'm a 22 year old college student. Here is a picture of me last month (December) with hair.
And here are 2 pictures that I asked a friend to take today. This is the first time I've ever shaved my head.
Should I grow my hair back or go bald for life? I have a HeadBlade, by the way.

Your head looks great bald. The "hairy one" actually makes you look older. Stay bald.

Well, it was a poetical question, I assume. :}
You look much younger without hair. On the 2nd and 3rd picture, I can see that you still feel a bit insecure or embarrassed, but you can believe that you look much younger and much more easy-going. However, it is clear that you still need some time to get used to it, but you needn't worry.

Thanks for all of the feedback, everyone. I was very nervous about how I looked at first, but it is starting to grow on me. I can't wait to see the look on my mom's face when she sees me again. She may be mad at first, but I think she'll accept it. She knows I've already started to lose my hair anyway, and my dad, who is 48, is totally bald.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to what type of clothing I should get the next time I go shopping for new clothes? I usually dress in t-shirts and jeans, if that helps. I can already tell that some of my shirts won't look too great on me now. Any suggestions you guys have would be great.

Your bottom picture, showing the SHINE is FANTASTIC. Looks GREAT. I use Aloe Gel to enhance my shine.
Keep a big smile on your face when you go see 'mom', regardless of her response. Give her at least 30 days.
No, don't grow it back. You look OLDER with the balding look (i.e. with some hair). The sly look makes you look younger, I think.
Now, for clothes, Jeans and a T shirt are find for playing football and gardening, but the button down shirt and slacks as in your after pictures is sharp, in my opinion. But then, I'm an old guy compared to a 22 year old. Add a bow tie! (yikes, I got 8 comments today about my yellow bow tie. I'm going to have to get a picture and post it).
Keep the shine. You look excellent, twenty two

Shaved looks great on you man! I wish I had the stones to shave my head while I was still in college. You're getting in front of what looks to be inevitable, and you'll stand out (in a good way) in the crowd at school. I'm guessing that in LESS than 30 days you'll want to keep this look for good!
I know what you mean about some shirts not looking right anymore. I felt like many of my looser-fitting shirts didn't look as good on me after I shaved my head. You can keep the t-shirt and jean look, but consider more slim cut items. Business attire always goes well with the sly look.
