  • When your hair is thinning and you are starting to go bald, when should you decide to shave your head? Recently I noticed my hair was beginning to really thin and I had developed several bald spots. After messing with my hair for months I decided to shave my head. Since then, I have learned some lessons and wanted to share my thoughts on when a balding man should shave his head.

    Dude you already shaved it, just keep it shaved. You look much better that way and there's nothing worse than a guy who is visibly balding trying to keep his hair.

      You need a new barber dude. Just shorten it and style it differently. It only looks bad when you're trying to wear a style that you do not have enough hair volume to support.

      Yep exactly. That’s what I was trying to say in the video, no need to over react, you(the person worrying about their balding head) probably notice it more than anyone else and it’s not as bad as you (the person balding) are probably making it out to be. Thanks man!

      Generally, 70% of men lose their hair but can rock a full thick beard. The remaining 30% of men can grow a full head of hair but grow patchy beards. I’m sure there are exceptions to this rule.

    Believe my bald head, you made the right decision, you look far better with this bald and bearded look than before. Maintain your dome smooth with lather and blade.
    Given the round shape of youhead, you should perhaps try to replace you full beard by a goatee or to trim it shorter on the sides.

    I saw a walmart manager today desperately trying to cover his bald spot by gelling his hair down. It was litterally stuck to his head. He was a really good looking guy but was still trying to holding on to that piece of hair. Theres nothing wrong with being bald. Most bald guys I've seen look good.

    To be honest, I thought the same as you about your hair not looking that bad to begin with. When the video started, I was like, "Why's he shaving that?" Having it wet and long-ish obviously makes it look worse.
    Even though you looked fine with it shaved, (especially once the top of your head had gotten a bit of colour), I kinda hope you grew it back, kept it shorter and started using a dry-look product like a paste or a matte wax.

    You looked way better with hair, but I know you felt way worse. Honestly, you have nice hair and it shapes your face well front and back, but top is bad, I agree. I wouldn't be able to resist shaving it if I were you, especially after a bad day or when really tired or frustrated. Politicians are a good guide. They aren't stupid, and they have some of the most ridiculous comb-overs out there.

There is a time for it as you grow older. So don't try to fool yourselves, you are not better looking bald and young. You are not more macho. You simply look stupid, cancer ridden or a member of a gang.

You know at some point you can't have her...so you just dump her (shave your head). Then you never look back...but guess what you CAN get her back...all of her. Hair transplants are like $3900.00 now. ..and they are forever ... unless you like shaving your damn head every day for the rest of your life !.

    It’s easier to shave your head the more hair you lose. I hate the old man look with bald top and hair on sides and back, even though I lived with it a long time as my hair thinned on top. I like it buzzed 0 now or bald shaved. I’m also lazy and don’t want to blade shave daily. Every 7~10 days is good. I can do a 0 buzz pretty quickly so if I’m in a hurry I go with that. I feel comfortable with both and since I do it myself now due to the pandemic, I can do what I ;Ike at any time without waiting for a barber. It’s very freeing and I’ve learned a lot through UA-cam tutorials. I feel much better!n
