New Guy

[CP2013]

Hello Everyone,

Wanted to introduce myself after viewing the forum, great group of guys here.  I have unpatterned diffuse alopecia, basically thinning all over but without any full blown receding areas.   I have the same density and thinning like my father so I know where I'm headed.  Had it for as long as I can remember, but it was never too bad and thankfully made it through my 20s ok.  Now I'm approaching 36 and the crown area is getting pretty bad.  Although my hair density can sustain a buzz cut around 1/2" ok, anything lower just doesn't look right.  So I'm thinking of going the sly way.  Of course being my own worst critic I think the back of my head is a little to flat and my forehead has a crazy slope, but I've been told I would look great bald b/c of my facial structure and build.  Will be reading through the posts here for support and will keep you updated.  Hopefully looking to go sly before summer!

Welcome mate.....

Judging by the pics bald would defiantly suit you.

Thanks man!  I've been on the fence for going sly for a year now, but I'm gonna man up before the summer.

I agree with Lynchy, you'll look great sly.  You don't have anything to worry about.

The hardest part is the first pass of the razor. After that, it's a big smile on the face, and a cool look to be proud of.

You'll look good with a sly head.

Welcome.

Welcome

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys.  I'm still debating whether to go sly, call me crazy.  But my profile is what concerns me.  I posted a pic where you can see my forehead slope and the back of my head is almost straight flat.  My bone structure gives me a 'helmet' like look to my head, almost robot.  I'm a little self conscious about it.  Does it looks too freakish or am I nitpicking?  Thanks for the help guys

My guess is that you're nitpicking and that no one else will notice. They'll be too absorbed in how stunning you look. Welcome to the club.

It's looks like a regular old head to me!

Trust us .... Everyone worries about their skull shape before the shave for the first time.... But barley anyone complains after.

Have a look through all the old intro/welcome threads.

Good Luck!

Youhave great facial cranial structrue andgreat skin. The back only looks flat with all that hair hanging down. Once you buzz that off it will show its natural shape which is never flat. You will look great, dont wait, do it now.
