So, how does the shaved head look work for you? Have you done it?
How did you decide just to finally do it?
How is your body type?
Do you think you look good with the shaved head?
Who here has shaved it without being a big and bulked up?
How did people react?
Were you finally satisfied with your looks when you shaved it, or did you freak out and think "this is the bigest mistake ever!!! I should have just used the treatments despite there side affects, and tried to keep my hair!!!"
I want all information. Every detail.
i have shaved my head and it worked just fine for me. when i say shaved, i don't mean i took a razor to it. i buzzed it with clippers using the lowest attachment setting.
i decided to shave it after seeing my hairline continue to go back, and running out of hair to "cover up" my recceding hair line. i still have enough hair to do it, but it took some time. i was tired of buying consealer products such as toppik, and thought that just shaving it off would be the cheapest route. add up the cost of hair transplant, drugs like propecia, rogain, etc and fighting hairloss can get expensive.
my body type is tall and thin. most people don't see my balding crown because i'm 6 ' 2 , by my hair line is noticable. i think i look just as good with my hair shaved. hell, the comb over look many of us use to save our hairlines doesn't look great at all. but it gives us a false sense of security.
i don't understand why people say shave it when your big and bulked up. i'm tall and thin and have seen other thin guys shave their head (balding and non-balding people).
people just asked me why i shaved it and i had fun with them telling them "i lost a bet!" then i said the truth , that i was tired of dealing with it. it's so nice not to spend so long fixing it up so perfect, covering all the balding spots etc.
it was weird at first but you get used to it. my brother cut it for me and we were cautious. he started with the # 4 attachment, then #3... until we got to the lowest one, #1. that's as low as i wanted my hair, and we stopped there. i recommed you not shave it off completely with a razor your first attempt. i don't think i ever will do this unless i am at norwood level 6 - 7.
after shaving my head, it looks so much better. the hairline is recceding, but it blends nicely. the hair is so easy take care of now. i recommed you at least try it once, but be cautious as to how low you cut it. i made a list of pro's vs con's of shaving my head. the list of pro's was much longer than the con's. so i did it!
good luck.
