  • 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.

    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.

  • @TheRowlandstone73
    @TheRowlandstone73 Před 3 lety

    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.

    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 CZcams tutorials. I feel much better!n
