Hi I’m looking for some advice.
This is my story: I am 33 yrs old and have been receding at my temples since I was 22. About 4 years ago I began thinning noticeably on my crown. At this point I kicked it into high gear with rogaine and regenepure. The hair actually grew back some, but then I began shedding again, very rapidly, 2 years ago. I added finasteride to my regimen, and that bought me another year I guess. I started using a concealer but that wasn't sustainable because I'm in the water a lot so people would soon notice when i am and am not wearing it.
I am a solid NW3 now and it reached the point in my opinion where I feel like I should experiment with the buzzed look. Problem is... even though I'm athletic my face is not attractive- big nose, thin face, weak features, and now.. balding!
I want to deal with it [bald] head on! I always own everything my poor genetics has thrown at me and this is no different.
So here's the starting point. I buzzed my head evenly with a clipper at 1+ length. My beard is trimmed at a guardless length and is edged with the razor just under the jawline. Is there any improvements I can make? I hardly recognize myself, so I don’t think I can see if what i have done makes any sense. I can grow a thick and even beard. Should it be any longer to hide my weak jawline? No beard at all? What about adding glasses? Should I shave my head completely? I'm trying to compensate for the weak forehead and large schnoz that is now accentuated by the buzz cut. I used to use mid to long length hair to distract from the nose, but alas... Regrowing the hair is not an option - I'm going to have to cross this bridge eventually anyway. Trying to maximum this length as much as possible.
Don't bother with criticisms and insults. I know I'm no Jason Statham. Looking for constructive feedback please...
Thanks!
