Was at 3 at 30 and girlfriend told me to at least clip it super low. Was the right call.
Have sometimes but also use clippers no guard often to keep it mostly gone.

Some people have weird head shape and his does not work.
They clippers down tight then shave to see what you think.

I am at 6 now and keep it gone mostly but do t shave head but once a week.

My husband's started on his crown and the hairless crown is growing. (I cut his hair) His combover isn't ridiculous, but it's longer than the rest of his hair. And his hair there has changed texture with time and is both sparser and thinner.

He will never be able to shave his head totally, because he was in several accidents and has some hellish long scars on his head. Currently hidden by hair. And kinder to the rest of the world who would be grossed out by the length and irregularity of the scars.

Depends on the shape of your head. Round head, shave it. Oval or rectangular, you might wanna hold down the fort as long as you can. Bald isn't a good look for all head shapes.

Seems bald only looks good on the bruthas.
Bald white guys look like they have a giant thumb for a head. (look at any white bald cop).

I'd probably go with the Jason Statham look.

I go with the 1 guard and keep it short. Went fully shaved once and didn't like it.

I have a gay friend out in California and all of his friends out there are shaved bald and have beards so take that as you will.

Everyone I know went shorter and shorter as they aged and eventually full shave. Real baws have a goatee with the shaved head.

Same for me. I've been using Minoxidil drops on the vertex for about a month. Will keep plugging away at it but if that doesn't work then I'd rather just buzz it all super low or shave it all.

My brother thought he was losing his hair or it was rapidly thinning out when he was like 20. He panicked and started shaving his head.

At like 40, he got lazy and it grew out a little and he realized it wasn’t that bad.

20 years somehow thinking he was mostly bald.

They are making amazing toupees now. Especially if blended into the hair you have remaining in the back and on the sides. Lots of good vids on Tik Toc.

These poor baws in their late 20’s and early 30’s with young faces- they look terrible bald, but with the toupees they look their age again.

I wonder how hot the adhesive would be in Louisiana summers tho.

I'm now 71 and sporting the #4 stage of Widow's Peak and small bald spot on the crown. Considering my dad was at the #7 stage when in his early 30's, I feel blessed to have the hair I do have.

I generally keep my hair clipped short most of the year and really don't like it when it gets to be about 3 or more inches long. It is wavy and gets kind of wild looking and needing attention to look good when it grows out.
