Finally did it - shaved my head

vandaalen · 2020-02-23T14:39:13+00:00

Go even shorter. Maybe not wet shave, but remove the fluff.

Other than that it's good. I liked you with hair as well though.

Good job.

MagnumHippo · 2020-02-23T14:39:54+00:00

People can easily mistake you for a shaved Kristofer Hivju.

You got nothing to worry about man, keep the beard and stay in shape. Perfect look for you.

Annapolis_Silence · 2020-02-23T14:50:16+00:00

Fuck yeah dude you look great!!! Go all the way with a razor and you'll be set! My dad lost all his hair in his late 20's and has shaved his head forever. He's a corperate executive and all his bosses also go bald with a beard. Have you ever seen This Commercial?

omega05 · 2020-02-23T15:21:51+00:00

you have more balls to post a pic of yourself on here then most guys on here. You're fine

pilot333 · 2020-02-23T14:54:38+00:00

don’t look back

StephenHawkingsEars · 2020-02-23T14:50:10+00:00

You have a good shaped head. I’d go 1mm. And lift more.

Flintblood · 2020-02-23T16:05:19+00:00

You have an awesomely rugged masculine face and this approach suits it well. I might even consider experimenting with the facial hair by shaping the beard, growing a long vandyke while keeping the sides short, or keeping an almost stubble length beard.

And keep hitting the workouts.

Mind talking briefly about the logistics of your India trip? Where are you spending money, what research did you do and how?

I always daydream about visiting a place like that for a similar purpose, but I get stuck not knowing where to start.

holyredbeard · 2020-02-23T15:53:54+00:00

Fuck yeah man looks great. Really fits your look, especially with the beard. My only suggestion would be to shave all the way down to get rid of the fuzz

morpheus77777 · 2020-02-23T18:06:19+00:00

Indian here.Some tips:

Google up some India visit guides, specially the ones on how to avoid tourist scams.

Prefer booking an 'uber' or 'ola cab' (download app) over travelling through roadside autos/rikshaws/tuk-tuks. Specially at the airport, they're gonna charge you 5x the fare of ride since you're unaware of how much you need to pay. You can even book auto rickshaws and tuk-tuks via uber/ola cabs.

Enjoy street food, but prefer as much hygiene as possible. Nothing worse than getting sick on a trip.

Carry 2-3 wallets and divide your money into them and keep them in different places. Beware of pickpockets.Also, you get what you pay for. Prefer booking a good hotel instead of booking a cheap hotel in a shady area. Good hotel = hygienic food.Mumbai is quite polluted, so is Delhi. Carrying an N-95 mask is a good idea in case you feel uncomfortable.

Have a great trip!

Edit: Check these out too, very helpful for tourists:

3 points I want to make here.

1.) we don’t really care. I mean good job and following a overly preached opinion on “if balding shave clean and grow a beard”. I’m sure you probably look better now than you did before, but asking us if it suits you is like asking for validation. If you feel good and confident then fuck what we say.

2.) groom your beard. Having a well kept beard > just growing out to be burly.

3.) don’t forget to workout. Big beard, bald head with small body makes your body look smaller and your head bigger.

RedPillAlphaBigCock · 2020-02-23T16:08:02+00:00

Honestly you look great , really suits you and you have " a look" - definitely keep it. I would Finnish it and go all the way. Great job and keep up the good work , lots of good things in your future young man.

ZZ3xhZz · 2020-02-23T17:00:27+00:00

Jeff Bezos is bald. If the richest man alive can't cure it, neither can you. So don't worry about. It also suits you well.

when_its_too_late · 2020-02-23T18:00:16+00:00

Looks great 👍

DevilMayCry · 2020-02-23T18:35:11+00:00

Was gonna say go shorter but I see that someone else beat me to it. Updated photo looks good.

nickyricky101 · 2020-02-23T19:15:07+00:00

Hair system wearer here. Just want to say you look good bald and beard. That said, I know it might be unpopular opinion but wearing hair systems can work if you take care of it, and can be inexpensive — I just buy them online and then learned from YouTube how to cut my hair and apply new systems (as well clean). It’s some work but it’s worth it if you still want to have hair. I used to get my hair systems done at places like Hollywood hair salons but they always kept charging me more money and giving me cheap service and pieces. I shaved my head for a while and I was okay but then I decided after looking online to try systems again. I was surprised how mainstream it’s become with a lot of guys nowadays, and it seems like the support for helping each other look good and not scammed like in the old days has really improved. So it can be an option for you if you want it.

On the girl side I have always been honest with every girl I dated, and for the most part girls have been supportive. I had a few girls tell me to take it off, but I also had a few girls tell me I was ugly when I was bald too— so it averages out. You can be whatever you want, and someone is always going to still give you crap; so in the end why not just do what you want to do? If you want to be bald, great. If you want hair, there’s solutions, great. Do what you think is right by you and not by society or women, because I guarantee if you like you (no matter what you look like), there will also be others who like you in any shape or form. At the end of the day there are more issues than being bald, at least you can fix this one.

rad_dynamic · 2020-02-23T21:51:01+00:00

Probably a lesson in here somewhere.. All that fucking about and you end up actually looking better when you pulled the trigger.

To all the people here contemplating pulling the trigger on something, take this man as your motivation and just pull it.

Godspeed

There is nothing wrong with looking your age. The same thing I told to my father he used to color his beard black (Indian). I told him it looks dope in black mixed with some white.

tom-anonymous · 2020-02-23T15:59:34+00:00

Looks good. I was between Norwood Stages 3 and 4 but I was able to reverse it to Stage 2 in only 6 months time. I started using one of those laser therapy helmets and it made a huge difference. Thicker hair and all the hair that I lost in the past 5 years started growing back.
Supposedly you can keep improving up to one year of using it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. At this point I'm happy where I"m at and grateful for the results so far.

MVWeiss · 2020-02-23T15:15:57+00:00

Badass. This is what I always say looks great when done right.

You’ve also got some height so if you lift you’ll look like a beast but this look is spot on.

rosesmellikepoopoo · 2020-02-23T15:26:31+00:00

Dude I went bald at 18 because of genetics, and while I was really self concious at first, I learned to love it and look way better than I ever did with hair.

__TheDon__ · 2020-02-23T15:32:11+00:00

Razor the tiny hairs left on your head, and get jacked while you’re at it. The new style suits you.

bojack_horsemam · 2020-02-23T15:39:01+00:00

I wish I could shave my head and keep my beard, but I tried that once and my head is too round lmao

HB3234 · 2020-02-23T16:20:14+00:00

It suits you ... but that fuzz at the top is just awful. Get rid of it entirely.

I can't tell from the photo but if you don't do this, also learn to fade your beard so it doesn't end at an abrupt edge by your ears.

ConsciouslyLost · 2020-02-23T19:21:37+00:00

Well done for taking the plunge man! My hairs thinning but i still hair some, so im still in the stage where wondering of saveable or just go for the shave! Work outdoors and early hours so a big reason to why I'm still rethinking!

amphix339 · 2020-02-23T19:43:49+00:00

Looking good bro

EdvardMunch · 2020-02-23T19:49:11+00:00

Yo I just did the same, just to get rid of my hair attachment/save money. Looks good!

VigilantSmartbomb · 2020-02-23T20:16:46+00:00

Issa good look!

DWS33_ · 2020-02-23T20:36:35+00:00

not even a bad looking guy. keep the beard and you’ll do just fine.

CarterKillss · 2020-02-23T21:36:34+00:00

As someone who will 1 day join you, looks good mate

RileysRevenge · 2020-02-23T22:08:41+00:00

Bic it! It looks good now but would look even better shaved down to the skin with a razor.

Here’s the thing that so many guys don’t realize. Once you’ve shaved your head, everyone just sees you as a guy with a shaved head. Nobody knows your history of hair loss, and even if they do, they don’t care anyways.

Guys who shave it always say it’s so much better after they’ve done it. I always wonder why men cling to their hair so much.

Chicks dig dudes with shaved heads. Clinging to what’s left of your hair and sporting the “monk” look or combing over the last few stragglers across your head just looks terrible. I feel for some of my friends going through the same thing.

Glad you made the change and are loving it! 👊🏼

fizzy1242 · 2020-02-23T22:14:10+00:00

it works. manly look

PhaedrusHunt · 2020-02-23T22:23:57+00:00

Ya look good ya Irish fook

Folknust · 2020-02-23T22:57:31+00:00

Amazing bro you look awesome!

KilgorrreTrout · 2020-02-23T23:13:36+00:00

I go full bic + medium length beard myself. You have a good shaped head for it so yeah, this is a perfect style for you. Give a razor shave a try. Its super easy once you get the hang of it. A basic cartridge razor works fine, just don't skimp on the shaving cream. Good quality cream is key to not irritate your scalp, and if you're traveling around places where you might not have electricity, you can still do it.

I shave mine every other day in the shower. Once you get the hang of it it takes 2 min and don't even need a mirror.

Naked-fox · 2020-02-23T23:25:49+00:00

Good for you dude. You look good

DntPnicIGotThis · 2020-02-24T00:45:51+00:00

Looks solid

purplestuff11 · 2020-02-24T02:21:13+00:00

Looks good. Keep the style.

riggedved · 2020-02-24T04:47:43+00:00

Hairloss or not, from the pictures It is clearly evident that you are stressed and not joyful.

Remember this, a joyful face is always a beautiful face. A stressed out face with a full head with hair will never be a beautiful face to look at.

So work on that. You face speaks a lot about your mindset.

Chadthundercock531 · 2020-02-24T05:20:04+00:00

You look badass with shaved head n that beard. Should have do it sooner.

hopelesshotel · 2020-02-24T05:22:14+00:00

why not just get a transplant

king_smirker · 2020-02-24T08:13:27+00:00

Gerstlauer · 2020-02-24T09:01:11+00:00

I know you've gone shorter, but I think the first photo you've posted is spot on. Good work 👍

El_Serpiente_Roja · 2020-02-24T09:53:30+00:00

Suits you, the bald/ beard style is a staple of masculinity for a long time now

INNASKILLZ2K18 · 2020-02-24T10:34:48+00:00

I took a quick look.

Hair (or lack of it) looks fine.

What you need to work on is your style. Those over sized generic style T-shirts make you look like you don't give a fuck (not in a good way).

Work out, get some PLAIN, well fitted T-Shirts, some dope jackets, fitted dark jeans.

You could look good, but you need to up your game.

liquidocean · 2020-02-24T11:13:48+00:00

wtf? your slightly menacing face totally works with the bald look. that you had any doubts is surprising. you probably look better than you did with hair (why no comparison photo)?

you kinda look like that bigass half giant redhead from game of thrones.

Tambamwham · 2020-02-24T13:12:01+00:00

Get rid of the beard. A tan, a jawline, and a thick neck is what you should focusing on with a shaved head.

Merica911 · 2020-02-24T13:25:31+00:00

Nice! Now start lifting!

taroorat · 2020-02-24T18:39:21+00:00

Fuck yeah man - even better with shorter. Great look on you!
