Welcome, Nova! While most of our membership is indeed sly, we also welcome members who prefer to keep shorter haircuts. Going sly is not a requirement for membership and participation here. The idea of the site is for us to help guys live and enjoy life in spite of their hairloss (or the confidence to go sly if they want to) Looking at your photo, I see a small bit of recession, however, a short buzzcut or maybe a high and tight might help for now. As far as the "tall headed" issue, heads tend to look smaller when they have short haircuts or are shaved....BTW, not trying to get you to go sly, but if you ever do, I think you would have a slight resemblance to Steve Wilkos (Jerry Springer's former bouncer)....which is a good thing IMO. Good luck, participate often and keep us posted on where you decide to go from here!
