Buzz it seriously

[MSU4life]

Hi guys, havent posted too much, but I do visit daily. Well first a little about me, I was thinning at the temples for several years slowly until it really started to get aggressive this winter. So I got a perscription for finasteride. Maintained and even regrew a little from April to June at which point I started the foam. I have seem great temple regrowth in my two months on finasteride. Unfourtunately I have also started a massive shed and my hair has thinned out considerably. So of course I was staring in the mirror and stressing out about it for about three weeks. Last night I said F it and at 2 in morning buzzed it all of and I couldnt be happier. Let me stress this point I was as apprehensive as anyone reading this could have been about it. Doing it felt great, I'd go as far as to say its liberating. I was nervous about what my friends and family would say......and guess what no one really cared. I guess I am writting this because I read peoples advice about buzzing on here a million times and never followed it and now that I have done it I realized how right they were.

I buzzed it once too and I liked it

my manager at work thinks otherwise cuz she thinks its not suited for formal business profile.

oh well...

Be careful with sebum because if you buzzed your hair, how sebum is eliminated if hair fibre has gone? Sebaceous glands are still working.

Jojoba could be useful to avoid possible detention of sebum flow.

Good luck

forehead is way too big. I expect a hair transplant in a few years.

in a few years, HM might be out. It could be a better treatment/cure to hairloss. Keep your regimen while hoping for the best

I buzzed my hair as short as it goes and I love it. No messing about.

I thought my forehead was too big also but that's because of the receding hairline. looks smaller when you shave your head.

I think I look smarter then before in a suite. shaved head looks very neat and tidy in my opinion. especially with a bit of a tan.

The topicals can get to your scalp better with messing about with sticky hair.

If I could grow all my hair back I would still shave my head because I like the look, I do prefer the full head of hair shaved look over the balding shaved look tho. But I much prefer the shaved balding look over the "keeping hold of what I have" look.

It's cool you're happy with the bald look. I personally enjoy these different kind of success stories just as much as the "real" ones.

yeah innit. I'll never grow my hair longer than 1/8" ever again until theres enough there to look like im not balding at all

I agree, using long hair to cover the balding/thinning spots will never work.

Everyone can easily tell your just trying to hide it. I'd rather keep it short and neat, so I don't worry about it that much. When its short, it holds up MUCH better against the wind.

Where are you on the Norwood chart? I personally think a nw3 looks fine grown out if the rest of the hair is very thick. Dan ackroid (spell?) when he was in ghostbusters for example

Actually, no one could tell I was hiding it. So they said, anyway. But it took a ridiculous amount of stress and effort every morning and I got sick of it.

Not sure, here's a pretty accurate diagram of what it's like [Edit - I made this thing myself]:

actually, its more like this:

Yes: I'm bored.

It just depends on the head shape, some people can pull of being buzzed or bald while others with higher foreheads look unseemly, or even crazy or mental with no hair..thats the game.

What a f*****g b**ch. Tell her to try going bald sometime. The buzz cut works totally as both professional and badass. Women just have no clue how hard it is.

I agree with that, a guy I work with has recently buzzed his to about 1cm. when it was 1" I used to think it was just a high forehead NW2 but with the buzz I can see its easily at least nw3, and you can actualy see the full nw6 area thinning out. :freaked:

BTW this guy has been ripping me about my hair for the past 10 yrs.

hrm. now I'm looking at that image on my monitor at work, it looks quite different. not so bad. I think my one at home is too bright.
