    It seems that you can pull off the shaved look very well! If you're OK with it, then definitely go for it.

    I would say I'm a NW2 and 22 nearly 23, i have already shaved my head due to people noticing me thin at the back and laughing about it. I thought trying to hold on to the inevitable is pointless and just prolonging the grief.People notice you're going Bald and growing your hair long and taking and hiding it makes you seem insecure and people will be more negative towards you.

    You're one of those rare breed that looks good either way.

    1.25mg of Proscar, 2% Nizoral Monday & Friday, morning multi-vitamin drink and 25mg of Zinc at night time.

    I am sorry for your hairloss friend, you looked pretty good on your first pic.
    My advice is to shave it, it is always better then trying to make hairstyles with weak and thin hair. And it takes less time to maintain.

    It depends on you. Do you want to hold on to your hair longer? Do you like it better with hair? If so, then get on Fin and see what it will do for you.

    If not, then you're lucky that you can shave it and still look good. This was my thought as I got to the shaved head picture "****....why can't I look that good with a shaved head?". I'm jealous of you, extremely.

    I have a bit more hair than you do, but NW6 baldness is VERY prevalent in my family. My story:
    viewtopic.php?t=65594

    Also, I showed your pictures to my wife. The question I posed to her was "If you were still single, and you saw him in a club, what would you think?"

    Picture with hair: "Ya, he's kinda hot"
    Shaved head pic: "Oh, I'd bang him, for sure!"

    So, there's another ego-boost for ya!

    the shaved look might not suit you when the hair on top goes and assuming you dont wear shades 24/7

    i have noticed guys wearing shades can look better when bald, breaks the whole head up

    Unfortunately, this is true too. There is a world of difference between shaved and having some hair on the top, and sly bald. Shades also help.
