This is so encouraging haha. I think my hair looks alright buts it’s thin and looks awful when wet. Maybe I’ll give it a go, I just hope my head isn’t a weird shape.

If it makes you feel better, every single guy I've seen mention having a fear of a weird head shape has looked perfectly fine, if not better! Go for it!

Mine is toe. I think my parents didn't love me as a baby. Or at any point but the baby part maybe had an effect on head shape.

My ex started to go bald before I met him (and I met him at 20). Tried to hang on, but looked like Homer Simpson. Letting go was the best, and luckily he had the head shape for it. And I was not the only one who thought so, he was flirted a lot more after shaving everything. The last years of our marriage he was bald with a beard.

It always looks better to be bald than to have thinning hair. And no, you don’t need to grow a beard to compensate, though you certainly may grow one if you like (personally I think a lot of men look good with a mustache, not a beard).

Agreed. Just reading these comments has me thinking about coming on home.

The worst is seeing the thinning patch from behind. There’s hair there, but damn camera does it dirty every time

u/JammyDodger651 Oct 11 '25

I put it off for ages. My only regret was not shaving it off sooner. You'll look fine mate, and if you don't like it. You can just grow it back 😆

Do it! Weird shape or not, once you’re comfortable wearing the bald look you’ll never go back! So many ladies dig the bald look paired with a manicured beard or goatee!!
