Anyone Else Feeling The Pain Of A Lightbulb Head Shape?

Anyone else has that freaking ugly lightbulb headshape that creates a really bad frame as the sides recede?

I'm talking about the width of the forehead in this thread not about how high the hairlines are.

For example Aaron Paul has a lightbulb head, which makes his upper head look ridiculously wide with that bit of side recession that he has:

And for example Conor Mcgregor does not have a lightbulb head, his head shape creates an illusion of frame, and, even though he doesn't have the lowest hairline and the sides are quite receded, it still looks good:

I have a lightbulb head, and as the sides keep on receding, my upper/lower face proportions are starting to looks ridiculous. My forehead is getting so much wider than my jaw. Sometimes in the mirror I cover up my huge bald sides and feel sad that I'd look good with a better frame from the sides even with the current shitty high hairline.


Baldness plus lightbulb head equals ultimate ugliness. Especially if you have small/narrow jaw.

My head shape seems fine in that regard. However, the middle of my forehead sticks out asymmetrically, which isn't aesthetically pleasing either.

Aaron Paul doesnt have light bulb head, she actually has perfect head for balding, see his pics with buzzed hair

Light bulb is much more scary, like the one linked below op

I have head shape of Ryan Gosling, google how he looks bald and you'll realize its over for me when i diffuse to thin top

Do you think this looks bad?

Are you talking about the weird kind of line on the sides? I'd actually prefer that. Gives an illusion of frame when the hair frame is gone. Looks somewhat weird though, that's true.

Aaron Paul in my opinion has far from perfect head shape for balding. His head just creates a bad upper/lower face proportion:

But probably Aaron Paul wasn't the perfect example to show what I mean by the lightbulb head. Frankie Muniz shows what I meant more clearly:

Every centimeter he loses from his sides makes his whole upper head look a centimeter wider. Crazy. I have a bad feeling I'm on a similar route.

Wide and convex forehead shape provides more space for the brain. It's an evolutionary advantage more important than the muscles.

its called dolychocephalic head shape, death sentence if it's exposed after balding, google for more images

pretty much over for me when i think out more than i already have

also, yeah, aaron paul has perfect symmetry and round proportional head for baldng, guess what, when you bald there's no way your forehead wont become bigger. even statham looks like sh*t bald, if you throw out your predisposition after seeing him too many times

only good example is Zidane, but thats like 1 out of billion cases

Zidane looked way better with a hairline than how he does now when he's slick bald.

Here's the thing.. when people talk about white guys who pull off the "bald" look, they talk about people who still had a visible hairline and just decided to buzz their head.

Pics of Statham, Zidane, Ljunberg, Statham, Vin Diesel when they were younger and NW3 always come up in those articles, as well as f*****g David Beckham at that one time he decided to get a buzzcut.

I’ve got this dolychocephalic sh*t, specialist told me it was mild. Doesn’t look mild if you shave your head though.

Ok, looks weird from a side point of view. I wouldn't have notices, but now that you mentioned it, I can't unsee it. But should at least look normal from the front.

I guess it's just a matter of taste then. I think Aaron Paul has a worse head shape, because it creates a poor frame for the face when some recession has happened. Besides his head looks huge. That's what I see anyway.

Yeah just the shadow of the hairline makes a huge difference. When I had my head shaved for the first time before my hair transplant, my head made me look like a damn alien. Now when I buzz my hair while I wait for the transplanted hair to grow in, even though the transplanted hair really hasn't started growing fully yet, just the shadow from a buzzed head gives the illusion of hiding that huge forehead appearance from shaving slick bald.

LOL. Love it when some BS articles on the internet write about how baldness doesn't matter saying that men still look good bald while showing examples of NW1-NW2 handsome celebrities with a shaved head.
