No sure, need advice +plus pics
« on: June 07, 2012, 11:03:30 AM »
Hello sly bald guys!

I need your expert advice
I'm 24 and I alwas had a huge forhead, friends make jokes about me that i'm getting bald since i was 14 :XX
a year ago I came to the conclusion that I look strange with this haircut(see below)  and i shaved my hair! some people said it looks much bettter some said it's terrible(including my girlfriend which is a huge factor) and i ended up feeling confused and not comfortable so i grew my hair back...
I'm sick and tiered of this stupid hair, but my girlfriend tries to convince me to leave it. Please tell me what do you think

this is how i look right now



From a year ago, when I shaved my hair

Hey Stephan, welcome to SBG!

You don't have a huge forehead and you don't look like you're balding. But I feel the longer hair isn't exactly flattering, I think that is what makes your forehead looks larger than it actually is. I think you look better in short hair. The long hair looks quite 90s boyband IMO.

Welcome aboard, Stephan!
You don't look bad with longer hair, but I honestly think you look better with the shorter cut. It looks cleaner and gives you a more natural look, IMO. I agree with KDusk, your forehead is fine. Some are bigger than others, and I've seen much bigger than yours, amigo. Don't worry about it.

In the end, do what makes YOU happy. Your girlfriend should also support whatever makes you happy, if she's the good kind of girlfriend.  ;)

Stephan, welcome from me as well.

I agree with KDusk that the current style doesn't work for you - but there's no issue with a large forehead. And if anyone comments about that, just tell them it's necessary for your incredibly large brain.

However ... and to the point ... you did look quite good with shorter hair. Either a buzz or bald would work for you. Less hair will draw more attention to your eyes which is a strong point for you. And perhaps the girlfriend will be tolerant of a buzz. But I'm hoping she is more interested in the essence of you and not the outer packaging.

It really all comes down to you. What do you want? What will you be both comfortable and confident wearing. Either buzz or bald will simply your life. If you do shave, commit to the 30-day rule to give the look a fair "trial" to gauge how you and others respond.

Keep us posted.

Agree entirely. You look great with the short cut but I'm sure you know deep down what you like best.  Best of luck!

You dont say how old your GF is but most girls in their early 20's are still biased to longer hair on guys. They just have not had the experience of dating bald guys yet. You have great eyes, and a great face. The long hair distracts from that. Plus it looks like a haircut for a pre-teen... Get a masucline buzzcut and then decide from there if you want to try a shaved head. The GF should not be dictating the haircut, ever.

Welcome Stephan!!

I think the longer hair style is unflattering for you. If the choice was between that style and the shorter style... I'd keep the shorter style.
I think you are probably a definite candidate for shaving your head in the future because there is no doubt (to me) that things are "moving back".

Hi Stephan88,

I definitely agree with KDUSK here: you definitely suit short(er) hair cut. Long-hair is so-yesterday & short (or no-hair) is definitely Now.

My advice would be to do what you want to do & never mind what others really say...... if they are really your friend, they won't bother about your personal choice of "haircut". The fact that you are even looking at this site tells me that you really do want to go short & even shaved bald. Ultimately, the decision is yours & yours alone. Like Nike say's: "Just Do It!"

All the best,

Bilko

Welcome to the forum Stephan88. The long hair is totally wrong for you. The buzz is way much better. I also agree there is nothing wrong with your forehead.

It looks great! Much better than before. Any way you could edit your post to scale down the pics a bit? They are huge, dude.
