Could I Pull Off Bald In A Few Years Time?

[dancingkpopchick]

You're 6'6" and have a POWERFUL jaw. We can't see the top of your skull, but judging by the lower four-fifths of your skull, you will be one of the few Caucasian men who looks good bald.

However, I'd add two caveats. Firstly, try and gain some muscle mass (understandably, not too easy to do at 6'6"), because bald and skinny is almost always a bad look. Secondly, I wouldn't get attached to the idea of a beard just yet. You look too young to grow a good one now and given that, there's no way of knowing how good your facial hair coverage will be in 5+ years. It might be very patchy and weak. Honestly, you look like the type of guy who won't have full coverage, though I could be wrong. On the bright side, if you're a bit jacked, I think you can pull off bald and clean-shaven, which is a gift from God. Bald + bearded is so played out; bald + clean-shaven is bold and fresh. Very few can pull it of, but with your jawline and square head, you are a very good candidate for it.

Very positive and sensitive comment fren.

Keep up the good work!

I’m quite tall (6’6) I think if I had a small skull I’d look like some sort of bean pole hahaha

Ok if you are 6'6 then it suits you. I ll change my vote. You will still look 3x better with hair though. Don't just let your hair fall because bald look suits you.. try treatment first and hold on the hair you have.. only when treaments don't work then you can say "oh I ll look good anyway and shave it bro"

I allowed myself to progress to Norwood 2.5 probably because I always had the mentality of "I looked good when I buzzed my hair when I was young" and I regret it. I wish I took action when I was Norwood 1.5. I can't wait for my dermatologist appointment which is after 1.5 months to try to hold remaining hair I have.

I use rogaine and nizoral, I dont’t think I’m going to jump on finasteride until I’m a bit older (22-25).

Depending on my hair status at that point in my life I’ll hop on finasteride or start shaving.

That is tall! Heck if I could be that tall Id gladly lose my hair

I think youll have more than 3-5 years man. Maybe closer to 10 years before you have to shave.

Lol Why do every baldy figure that everyones end game will be bald beyond return? The Norwood chart classifys various degree of hair loss for point of reference.Its not a progression chart where once you begin, it's all down hill. What ever his genetics decide his scalp will look like 5years from now, is totally up to that.

Your right, he could stop at a nw2 or nw3 or something. I guess it just comes to me that the finally result is bald because thats how it is for everyone in my family lol. But obviously I gotta keep in mind my family is the exception and not the rule.

This. @Pirapus it depends what you mean. If you're asking if you're going to look as attractive bald then with hair then it's a definite no - even extremely good looking guys look significantly less attractive when they lose their hair (look at Jude Law for example). However, (as others have mentioned) you do have certain facial features that mean you'll probably get away with it more then most guys.

I agree with everything you've said. My questions was more geared to whether I could pull the look off opposed to looking 'as good' as I do with my hair. While my hairloss genetics are a mixed bag (Mum's dad is bald af, everyone else has hair), I just wanna know if I've got options for how I want to tackle the issue.

I've got finasteride on my radar, but it's comforting to know that even if everything goes wrong that could go wrong (in the scope of hairloss) that I could still look decent with a clean shave and a few modifications to my look and wardrobe, maybe a light SMP if I'm stark bald up top. To be honest, the latter seems more appealing to me as of right now, but my opinions could very well change.

At the end of the day, I just want to look healthy, clean, and professional as I age. Sure it'd be nice to having flowing locks and be a stud as I progress into my 30's, but if I can look 'good' without my hair then I'm more than satisfied.

You'll be fine with a bald head. Few white men actually look better with no hair, but I think you could. And at 6' 6", no one is going to be slapping you on the head or looking at your head from above. You may look a bit older, but you'll be fine.

I'm glad for you mate. I with I could be as comfortable with going bald as you are. Like you said there really aren't that many options for treating baldness. Finasteride is the most successful treatment but I'm sure you know about the sides (and if you don't you really should research them before taking it). As for SMP, I'm really not sure; I mean I've seen some pictures where it looks pretty good but do you really want to be known as the guy with tattoo hair?

Your fine man, you definately have a bunch of years ahead of you.

I’ve seen some good looking SMPs done, and I’ve seen dudes who think they look great with a helmet of ink on their head. I’m gonna see the state of the procedure around the time I shave and make a call on that then.

 

[countjulian]

You have very nice jaw structure so probably yeah. However I STRONGLY recommend you to start Finasteride 1mg.

Don't even think about going on fina until you hit at least 24, you don't want to lose out on centimeters on your penis or pounds of base muscle and jawline squareness due to something as silly as a receding hairline. Stick to minoxidil, ketacozonole and other non-heavy-hormonal medicines

You have a great head shape and fantastic jaw line. You should shave it completely you would look good although it's fine as it is now.
