Regular Member tomec1 Posted August 22, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hi everyone. After a long stint of denial, I've accepted that my hair is slowly receding and thinning a little. It sucks, but hey ho. Because I reckon one day I will end up being bald, I'm considering shaving my head and am curious to see what i'll look like. I'm unsure whether to go through with it though as I'm pretty pasty, have light eyebrows, and am not blessed with great beard growing abilities (I've never really tried to grow one but don't seem to get a great deal of growth after a week or so). Pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxYWo3N2pGmeTkRQSGRuc2dEdE0?usp=sharing (I've included a recent picture without the hair scraped back to show what the mop currently looks like) Other potentially relevant info: - 6 ft 1 - A pretty lean 190 lb, having lifted for a number of years. It would be great to get honest opinions on whether you reckon I could rock the bald look and if you think I've got the facial/head structure to pull it off. I would rather not have any beat around the bush type answers so just be brutally honest, please. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted August 22, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2017 You're fit, tall and have a good face so you should look great but I'd like to see a profile pic too for head shape.

Regular Member tomec1 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2017 You're markedly above average looking with your full head of hair, and below average with the shaved head. I'm sorry. That's remarkably rude to say but you asked for honestly. Hope on fin and stay the course. Your hair is thick. Enjoy it. You're making me blush. Don;t worry, no offense taken man. Think I'm just going to let the balding do its thing and resort to shaving when it starts to look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Logan_P Posted August 22, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2017 You can pull it off IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-from-Farjo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 You look rather 'severe' in all the pics. I'm pretty sure that if you were smiling and got a bit of a tan you'd look great with or without hair. You seem to have a realisitic attitude towards your early hair loss which can only be a good thing. Your 'with hair' pic looks good and I reckon you've a few more years yet before you need to reach for the razor!

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Bald is beautiful bro and you look good that way. But at the end of the day, you have to be satisfied with the way you look and feel. That's the real question. We all feel like you can pull it off. But how do you feel? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, a few years yet I reckon. Might get the clippers out to see how it looks but undecided at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes, Bill CHeers for the feedback Bill. Not much I can do about it other than maybe meds which i think would make me obsessive about my hair. Plus I don't think I care enough to commit to using meds really. it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BadBeat Posted August 23, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2017 Wait, your current hair is the far right pic? Why would you shave it? You have tons of hair. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dolph1969 Posted August 23, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2017 I would buzz, rather than shave. Shaved is quite severe. A buzz is a bit more softening with the overall look of the head. Definitely decent bone structure and keep working out. If you can tolerate fin, give it and minoxidil a try. Maybe a HT at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest austin123 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi, hair loss is an serious matter for everyone who are losing their hair in earlier age. Because hair loss affect some where our reputation and confidence also. We lose our confidence and feel ashamed even in front of our family members. But no matter know we have hair transplantation as a hair loss solution. That can help us to get back our hair return and once we became look younger. In last I would like to answer you yes we can get rid from baldness. I live in Gurgaon India, and here in India many famed surgeons who got fame in hair transplantation. Here in Gurgaon India Dr. Akhilendra Singh is one of the best hair transplant surgeon in city. He done in affordable cost with best equipment.

Regular Member tomec1 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2017 Try it, it will probably look good on you. Tall, fit and having a shaved head is still a good. CHeers man. No desire to at the mo but I might do at some point out of curiosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrGio-WHTCClinic Posted September 22, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2017 Bald or buzzed and with and without a choice, you can do it. Your look is good, as long as the skin tone of the scalp doesn't have unnecessary contrast in pigmentation from the sides to the top and the length of the groomed hair is in a uniformed manner. A side profile photo might be helpful to post as well. My opinions are my own. I am one representative of MyWHTC Clinic's European branch.

Senior Member MayiraP0chu Posted September 22, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Tomec, saw your pictures. I draw a parallel with Jude Law. He definitely looked the bomb with hair. But, he still is a good looking man without it too. Now, I am not saying you are Jude Law. But, you fall under the same category. I am the authority on aesthetics. Take it from me. Look no where else. You have pretty good hair now. Enjoy while it lasts. When you lose em all, buzz it to level 2. You should still be getting a date a week. Thats all a man can ask for! Edited September 22, 2017 by MayiraP0chu Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair.
