Hi folks!
Would love some opinions on this! When considering a HT (as I myself am given that I already have a very receded hairline) should you always shave your head to ensure that isnt the easiest solution?! I dont honestly think a shaved head will suit me but would I be mad to commit myself to a HT before trying it to see what it looks like? Ive only ever tried to picture it while looking in the mirror! All opinions welcomed and appreciated!

In my opinion...ABSOLUTELY yes! Once you go down the road of having a HT, you will not be able to shave your head all the way down (unless you don't care about the scar). If you have shaved and have a HT (like me), you can look back and say "At least I tried it and didn't like it".
The shaved look might actually suit you and save you from having to go down the HT path. Take a look at my latest thread (Eman's 6-month update) where I included shaved pics from last year. I say give it a try. Whatever you still have will grow back!

Thanks for the responses lads!
I was thinking that might be the case, think I will just bite the bullet and go for it! Like you rightly say whatever I do have left will grow back anyway! Wantego I was thinking to go for tight clipper cut, will grow back quicker that way if I don't like how it looks, or thats the hope at least! Thanks again for all the comments. Will update on how it goes and looks!

Sometimes the simplest solution can also be the best solution....I probably would have looked very good with a shved head...To late for that now...
Just a thought from the peanut gallery...

It seems you're asking yourself whether or not you'll want a hair-transplant after you've seen yourself with a shaven head. If you do think you might look the look, and not have the procedure done, why not just shave it? Unlike with having a transplant, there's no commitment (or real cost) involved in clipping your hair.

I'd say definately. I know many guys who look great with a shaved head. Just stay in shape.

I think anyone considering a hair transplant should consider shaving their head first to see if it's fitting for them.
Though hair transplants can be great, I agree that those who can get away with shaving their heads and be happy with it are better off overall. For me however, I simply don't like how I look with a shaved head which is why (among other reasons) I chose the surgical hair restoration journey. However, I've seen a couple guys at my gym sporting a shaved head, goatee, and look pretty cool - not to mention that one married one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen! Bill
