The Official Bald Head Thread Vol. Knowing When To Let Go

[jrdnsrnss]

Been shaving my head the last three years. Hairline is receding really badly, started when i was around 19.

 

[kevi]

son i was born with an illness that made me take medicine and it made me loss my hair SMH. I lost t it completely by 5 and im 15 now. Atleast i can wear hats in school andeverywhere else

My little brother is 16 and lost all his hair, feel bad for him.

I'm not balding but I currently shave my head. I think it's a good clean look and it saves a lot of money on haircuts. $1k in hair cuts a year was just :x

 

[kstrick12]

I'm 23 and shaved it off this past March right before spring break.

I hated having to get a cut damn near twice a week just to keep it low. 


I don't roll with any razors tho (and I have straight hair).

If your afraid of razor bumps, grab this http://www.amazon.com/Wahl-Professional-8061-5-star-Rechargeable/dp/B000FJ2I2O/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1346377995&sr=1-1&keywords=wahl+5-star+shaver

I have heard good things about this one, gonna have to cop...no bumps on this one?

I've been wanting to cut all mine off for a while. But hesitant to do so because I'm pretty lanky and I don't want to cut all my hair off and just look like I'm sick

Nope. And my skin is pretty sensitive.

Probably going to take the plunge at the end of this year. Definitely about that time :\

I started thinning out at 24 and have been been bald since 25. At first i was self conscious and mad because I lost my waves and crispy line ups. But truthfully the ladies LOVE bald heads. Best decision ever and i wish I hadnt waited so long.

I was 25, turned 26 this past March

Imma join the club in January. I got that Lebron thing going on.

 

[jalefountaine]

It's probably about time I take the dive but the whole shave my whole head every day or even every other day ehhhh. got a big head over here.. how often do you shave it

 

[paycheck26]

My corners are starting to fade also. doesnt look too bad, but i think it gonna happen in a couple years. My pops is bald..but my grandpa has hair, just light receding. Im hoping i just have light receding. My head is too big to go bald

I'm in the same boat as you guys. Once I noticed my hair was thinning around 23 I decided to complete bic everything. But like dude said last page being latin and bald head has people looking at you like your some kind of cholo gang banger. Sometimes you'll get into **** you didn't ask for because of how you look. Doesn't help that I have one of those naturally mean mugging faces. Just have to dress right to avoid all that bs.

[jecca650]

Sadly yes. If you live in Cali you know what's up. Bald head and for example those all red toro bravo 5s up here in nor cal=asking to get shot.

About every 2 to 4 days for me.

I feel you bro.... I have the family curse of going bald . My cousins all have it. That's one major reason why the whole shaved head/ bald look is a bad look here in Cali. Everyone thinks you bang. I got the same thing going with me I am chill as fuh but I look mean as fuh not my intention that's just my normal facial expression add that with the shaved head and I look like an Asian gangbanger. California and bald/shaved head automatically means gangster. Smh.

 

[venom lyrix]

fully support this thread, I'm about to turn 24 been shaving my head bald for about 2 years now. Hair started to get thin around 18, and eventually I said F it and shaved it all off clean

so true , i live in southern cali and if I see a big guy with a shaved head - crisp white tee or something on i'm staying away

My dad started losing his hair when he came to America around the age of 35-39? I'm sad because male patterned baldness run in his side of the family. I also have his hairline... If I can't fight it then I'll be joining the club in 15 years or so...

About every 2 to 4 days for me.

yup...I find every 3+ days works best for me. If you do it everyday then you're looking at razor burn and bumps.

I've been shaving bald for 3 years now....spent 200+ on an electic razor which worked well but eventually went with the hand razor.

Thing is, I'm white with black hair so I have a strong shadow, which bothers me...i'm thinking about waxing it. :x

all my fellow cali people can relate.. dat bald head stigma is real out here
