Hairstyles for horseshoers

[Fanjeera]

Which look is a better for a Norwood 6-7: a totally bald or just a few cm-s to have something frame your face and show your hair color? What kind of a beard would look nice? Would a beard look nice?
Talk about hairstyles for horseshoe pattern balders here.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the shaved look. I think there are only a few guys who have a good head/face structure and good skin to pull it off. I think a tigh buzz at a 1 or 2 guard is best (not ideal of course, but best with what you've got). Beards look good if you can grow a quality one, if it comes in patchy or thin don't bother, length does not = density in regards to facial hair. A beard helps draw a person's eye down the face away from the scalp.

If its a full on Norwood 7 wet shave it right down as far you can otherwise each mm will make you look noticeably older. If its a Norwood 6 you MIGHT get away with letting the stubble grow for a couple of days. As for the beard, I'd probably advise a tidy goattee of some sort if you really must...dont overdo do it or youll look like a biker prick. Make sure it's but not a full on beard that grows on your cheeks with sideburns unless you want to look like a thug/rabbi.

You're getting ahead of yourself Fanjeera, you aren't even there yet.

Yes, there are still two years to live . I'm thinking of a regular 3 cm hair, colored brighter maybe to make it look better, or a shaved head with small sideburns and a small goatee or just a buzz cut with the beard as long as the hair.

I sincerely doubt you will be NW6 in two years, I don't even think that is physically possible.

 

[Norsk]

Possible, but not likely. Hatprisoner claims he went from NW2 to NW6 in 2 years.

I used to buzz it down to just a few mm's, its got too be short but I find a totally bic'd slick head just looks too unnatural like a chemo patient or something. Also a bit of stubble is ok but never longer than the actual horseshoe hair.

 

[barcafan]

It's 100% possible. My dad went from NW1 to NW7 in a little over 2 years.

 

[Obsidian]

Well yes it is possible, but still for every case that is extreme there are 10 more that are usually just progressive.

my brother went from Norwood 2.5 to NW5 6 in about 2 years. He was bald at 20, he is 25 now. I am 23 and still holding down to my diffuse NW2 but it's getting worse


As for the haircut. I think it' all depends on the individual person. Some will look better with clean shaved head. Some will look better with just little grown back (but not more tha 0.5 mm or sth). Beard is a possibility and also not shaving for like 3 days and trimming it with clippers. What won't work is growing it back to 1 cm and pretending you have hair. It looks horrible.

Important thing is to grab some sunglight once in a while. NW6 looks much better if the skin is tanned a bit. Horseshoe pattern won't "stick out" as much then (I am basing this on my brother's case)

You haven't seen my relatives .

not to sound ignorant..but if you have the horseshoe thing going on is styling that even a possibility?! I think a razor to your head would be the best course of action to take with a horseshoe....just my 2 cents.

I know a guy that went from NW1 to NW6 in less than 2 years.

The question is: should it be razored or not?

 

[debris]

How about this?

Skullet is out of question.

Yeah I guess it works best only if you carry on the shotgun as well.

 

[Cassin]
