Shaving my head at 18

[TheBaldFox]

Hi all. Just decided to shave all my hair off today. Barbers were closed and COVID means they stay that way so decided to do it. I definitely have more years of my hair, still fairly thick but decided to give it ago. Just wondered if my head shape looked too bad to you? It looks abit odd to me, I know some dents are natural but don’t wanna look silly. Let me know what you think!

It looks terrible. You have what I kinda have to a lesser extent. It's called the peaked head shape. You have a lump on the top of your head called the saggetal that is very unattractive to women, especially if it isn't centered well and makes your head asymmetrical. I have considered getting skull reconstruction surgery to fix this as I am a nw7. But you still have decent amount of hair. I would highly advise getting on finasteride and trying to save your hair.

Personally I think that it doesn't look good, but it could be worse. You've a good face but your head kind of looks like a lightbulb from the front, and sloped from the sides. You'd probably look good without this since you've thick eyebrows and a good jaw. I'd do my best to keep my hair if I was in your situation, maybe it could look okayish with a buzzcut if you went the FUE+SMP route.

Also you need to start considering hopping on finasteride soon (In less than a year) if you want to have a decent chance at keeping your hair without any transplants. You have a good coverup game and look cool with a fringe but that hairline is way too receded for an 18 year old dude. Sorry man.

Hey man. I don’t post often, but I just wanted to say don’t listen to those absolute nutcases above me. Most people on here are never happy with themselves and have no self worth outside of their appearances. You’re already a step above them all—you took the plunge and beat balding. Props to you.

Moreover, I think you look sick bald. Actually better bald than with hair. Don’t get caught up over analyzing headshapes or any of that crap or you’ll end up like people here, considering skull reconstruction surgeries to attempt to fix perceived imperfections. You’ve got nothing to worry about being bald—you’re rockin it.

Thanks mate. Yeah I mean I didn’t think it looked great myself anyway and so I’m not really bothered if people agree. Just wanted to know why it was that way and if it was anything to worry about. Things usually look worse on camera. Only did this to try it out as I should be in training for the army in the next few months anyway so will have to have it short. I’ve had a mixed reception and that always happens. Guess I can’t be an actor in the future with a fcked up head!!

I know you don't need validation telling you that you look good bald, but I couldn't help but reply when I read a commenter say:
"I have considered getting skull reconstruction surgery to fix this" [his skull shape]

Stating the obvious, skull shape is very low on the list of attractive features that define beauty. Getting highly invasive, experimental, permanently scarring surgery to change it is probably less enticing than breaking your own legs and stretching them to get taller.

Seriously, I think you can pull off shaved head look well because of your very strong jawline and eyebrows. If you want to be more attractive in other ways than hair, working out might be a better bet than skull surgery. Hard to say.

Thanks for that. Yeah I don’t think I’ll ever be considering surgery on my skull it doesn’t mean that much to me. I’ve actually lost 3.5 stone last year hence why my jawline looks good but yeah I’ll keep working out. I’ll just see how I feel with it. It’ll be shaved off in the army anyway!

Good stuff. Those eyebrows are important cause you can't improve them much if they are sparse like mine. There is only a specific number of eyebrow hair follicles you are born with.

This picture doesn’t make it look too bad. Is it by anyway just the angle and sometimes it may look bad vice verse? In that case that can happen for any bald guy

Bro you rock it well

 

[sonictemples]

Grow a beard and you gucci. I would do the same if I could grow more than 10 beard hairs in total

 

[TheBaldFox]

Quite a change isn’t it 2020-2021. Yeah I’ll grow my beard as much as possible. The hair will be back in a few months anyway I’ll decide what to do next. Maybe just a 2 all over in the future as opposed to a one all over. I can grow a decent beard but haven’t in a while so will try that.

Congrats on such a big change in just a year man.

Appreciate it!

Definitely getting comfortable with it. I may grow it back, may keep it short but I really don’t mind it. Head shape isn’t desirable but I’ve got other good features. Work don’t care just keep saying if it’s cold! I really don’t hate the look. Have a good day all.

Bro your head shape is good and it’s not about what others think it’s about how comfortable you feel with yourself but you do suit it.
