To skin or not to skin?
 

So I have naturally thin hair, and I have always looked as though I am thinning on top, but over the past year or so it seems as though I am actually balding. Do I keep my hair relatively long and wait till it's obviously just out of control, or do I embrace it and shave my head?

I kind of like how much easier my life would be if I just had a skin head, but I'm not sure I would suit it at all. As mentioned earlier, my hair is thin, meaning the surviving hairs wouldn't do much to cover my scalp.

I have actually shaved it twice before, and I didn't completely hate it in terms of the head itself, but I was in a far less confident place than I am right now. I've lost weight and have much clearer skin, so maybe I could pull it off a little more?

I dunno. I guess I am just going to keep my hair pretty long (for me at least) and shave it off when it becomes embarrassing.

Nah take some supplements

I wanna stay pure for the hair gods.

What would Ade do?

The only thing you can do is shave your head. The one and only long term solution is to accept it and learn to work with it. It's just hair at the end of the day.

If you're going to do it, grow some facial hair as a shaved head with no stubble looks silly imo.

Yeah, luckily I can actually grow facial hair now unlike the first few times I tried, though not on my lip (hair gods, curse you to hell). I dunno.

You have the rest of your life to be bald. Enjoy the hair while you still have a little left to enjoy.

Take it off! Take it off!
















































Your shirt I mean. ;) Like Jans said, keep it while you can.

Yeah, suppose that's the way to go. Then supplements.

Trust me...keep it for as long as you can

It's not just looking good bald that you need to be concerned with, not everyone can pull off combat boots and suspenders.

Oi Oi Oi!!!

Ugh, **** like that gives skinheads a bad name. Used to be just working class youths into reggae and ska but then the whole white power thing and... just, ugh.

Have you not seen This is England?

on topic-

Goofs, I'm with everyone else. Keep the hair dude.

There are like four different kinds of skinheads tho

Is there actually any point to be a skinhead if you're not a racist though? I mean I know it's a working class pride kind of thing or whatever, but seriously, what's the point?

Goofs, you could probably rock a suedehead kinda look.

Music actually. It's just another subculture like metal heads or punks.

You'll be gorgeous no matter what.

What supplements are people talking about? Minoxidil & Finasteride?

But just make sure you don't turn into this...

Snake oil, primarily.

I say keep it for as long as you can as well, that's what I plan on doing.

:)!

That's the problem, my hair is really thin and I cannot style it at all. It simply has to be dry and combed. Any moisture or movement in the wrong direction leaves me looking as though I have even less hair than I do.

I'm not at a dangerous stage yet, that's probably a few years away, but being bald would make my life so much easier due to the pain in the ass that has always been my hair (even before it started thinning).

you guys need to stop posting this ****ing gif

:D

Sounds like you should just get rid. If you can't style it and you're at that stage already then yeah.

Better than walking round with a patchy head.

I don't need to change my style or anything, and I only look thin under certain light. But I've certainly noticed it getting a little thinner.

Then just keep it and see how it goes. If it gets even more thin, skin it.

I guess the reason I ask is because I kinda want to do it. But due to the crappy nature of my hair, if I didn't like it, I would essentially be looking bald for about three or four months till it gets back to where I am now (always been the case for me).

Depends how much you care about your hair tbh. Was never much of an issue for me cos I've always had a fade/very short on top plus use clippers anyway.

Not having to do anything to your hair ftw >>>

Well... Take off your shirt. This is to prevent getting it full of hair. Take some shirtless photos for Vanilla while you're at it. Go into the bathroom, and take a plastic bag in with you. Find an electrical shaver, or even better, an adjustable beard trimmer. Start shavin'. When you're done, try to pick up most of the hair, and put it in the bag. Don't worry if there's some small hairs left in the sink, just flush them down with some water. Check if there's any hair on the floor, and do some sweeping if necessary. Throw the bag in the dustbin. Put the shirt back on (or not) and upload a photo of your newly-skinned self to the Member Picture Gallery. Receive positive comments from female members, degrading comments from batlords, and hilarious comments from me to boost your self-esteem. Congratulations, you've successfully skinned your head. :)

:d

I've neither skinned my hair nor uploaded a photo to the Gallery before, so take my directions with a grain of salt.

I clocked when you said to put the shirt back on without taking a shower first.

Shave it!

Don't hang on to a thinning mess like you are hanging on to the glory years.

Spot on :cool:

I'll shave my balls as a tester.

Is that hair thinning too?

Gods honest? Yes. I can only dry and comb them.

****in A! Dude just do it.

Become one with the cueball. Listen men that are bald are more respected. So the surveys say.

I love a cueball.... yessir I do....
