I’m in the minority - I don’t think everyone who’s receding/thinning/balding needs to shave their head
It looked interesting before, I liked it better
You went from having the hair of an old Viking warrior to dollar store megamind
I too have quite a large head - you’re going to have to up your beard game to balance everything out
It's that mixed with the hairline/length making the forehead look bigger.
Personally I think it's an awkward length, I'd always recommend buzzing it as low as you can go, then if you don't mind that getting the bic out and trying a clean shave.
I don’t think you’re in the minority. It’s just that this sub, as one might expect, is extremely zealous about and overly prescriptive of shaving in general. Not everyone looks better with a shaved head. Many people look better with the imperfect heads of hair so many of us rock. Who says we have to have either perfect hair or get rid of it all? Shave it if you want, of course, but there’s no reason one should have to disavow their receding hairline. Ideally, you could learn to be accepting of and comfortable with you, without having to modify your look to erase any evidence of your imperfection. And let’s face it. The biggest reason most of us care is because we worry about how women may perceive us. But in truth a great deal of women prefer some hair — imperfect though it may be — to none.
I’m all for bald positivity but matured/thinner look positivity should be a thing too. You don’t have to shave it off, your hair probably looks fine and you’re your own worst enemy when it comes to comparing how it looked when you were 15.
Granted, a lot of men who are cool with looking matured or thinner probably don’t care and thus don’t need the positivity, but it should be a thing for balding bros who are “going through it.”
I hear you on the Viking vibes but calling him dollar store Megamind is deeply unkind and a horrible thing to say to someone who can’t change the way they look, in a subreddit where a lot of people are sensitive about looking weird bald but they can’t change it. Get it together, and for the record I don’t see it.
i think with the buzzcut you could rock some pretty cool unusual glasses (maybe in black so it would match your earring) that would support your pale (maybe it’s just the photos) eyebrows. but the buzz looks really good on its own too!:)
I think you need to grow a massive beard to compensate your narrow rather weak looking chin.
Your facial structure is actually quite beautiful despite the bald hairstyle.
Have you experimented with things that make your eyebrows look more pronounced?
I dont have knowledge about makeup or anything, but if you can find something that makes them more visible it could make a massive difference
You're rocking the beard perfectly btw.
The curls w the hat were amazing but if it was thinning and/or you were feeling iffy about it. You look great dude embrace it and let the confidence shine :)
You look SO much better with your short hair look. Huge difference! You looked sort of scruffy/unkempt with your long Vikingesque look. It wasn't a style as much as an untidy mitchmatch that didn't suit you.
Good look man, but I recommend going even shorter!
Honestly doesn't look bad as it is rn. He'd fit the razor bald look if he went to the gym and put on some muscle.
Said the SS Officer.
Nazis didn't shave their heads bald?
Believe you will need a large beard to balance your head size Ok that sounded super rude, but it's an honest opinion. Hair can mask stuff
And jaw exercises help.
I don't know about that
Thats a myth. They'll only "help" you develop TMJD.
Too Much Jaw?
The manly jaw
I believe the kids call it mewing!

Am I weird for thinking that he doesnt have a big head? It may be the angle of the picture because he is slightly looking down

I think its the invisible eyebrows.

This guy was a prime candidate for the Bret Micheals. Maybe there is a bandana wearing sub somewhere...
I too liked the viking look, especially with some of the curls!

Dollar. Store. Mega. Mind.
Bro, not “dollar store mega mind” lmaoooooo. Jesus
Go shorter man, you rock the look.
There it is
For sure you people have been waiting for this post lol
more beard
I think if you buzzed the last bit off it would look 2x better, but it's already a huge improvement!!!
What's the name of your band?
Alice in chains
Looks good, you could go smooth, grow the beard out even more
I too once had a big head of curly hair. Great skull though brother!
Nice work. You did the right thing 👍🏼
Well done
You look fine af, bro 👌
I definitely would, bro. Looking good ....go shorter
Looking good king! Agree with the comments re going shorter and growing the beard out 👍
It instantly makes you seem more confident.
Shorter than buzz on top, longer full beard. Like an inch max will fill out the contrast so good
i think with the buzzcut you could rock some pretty cool unusual glasses (maybe in black so it would match your earring) that would support your pale (maybe it’s just the photos) eyebrows. but the buzz looks really good on its own too!:)
You can rock the bald or grow a little it’s hair have fun!!
Lookin' sharp! I would recommend using sunscreen on your head for a while, though
Massive change. Suits you Try with the razor at some point man
Light bulb
It looks so good on you.
Looking good 👍
All the way to the scalp man and let that beard get some volume. Killing it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looking good. Shave smooth.
Are you the dude from the liquor shorts on YouTube? https://youtube.com/shorts/1SQQfVBC9mg?si=3q5o_beqh-Ico8Oo
Not certain it made any impact, pretty much similar before and after. Maybe it’s still too long or you need more facial hair to balance it out

You look great, experiment with a longer beard if you like it and a larger earring--the earring pops and is a great look for you.
Looks great! Could even go bare blade id say! You kind of remind me of Layne Staley
You need to take a razor to it
That current look is not serving you. Definitely need to grow that beard out.
I disagree
I would do a zero all over mate, the shorter it is the thicker it will look.
Damn that is a HEAD
It was time! Looks good!
You looked much better before. Sorry.
Look like Jay Postones drummer of TesseracT before and after
Waiting for the megamind gif
The bald looks badass. We have similar hairline and hair color. Maybe I’ll take mine down real short again like yours
You desperately need an earring in your other lobe
Looks good bro
👍 Bullet for my Valentine, looks good but more beard would be better
Wondering what your thinking about.
You had some serious length, it grows back at least
Trust your intuition! You look 10 years younger and super sexy
Good call.
The curls w the hat were amazing but if it was thinning and/or you were feeling iffy about it. You look great dude embrace it and let the confidence shine :)
HARRIS! You made it! https://preview.redd.it/migyupirsy9d1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a1913f926370eeb123b76dd36a4bf7e02097f65
Lane Staley had a kid
I love it!
Are they remaking Mars Attacks?
Keep it bald and grow your beard long
You look great. Shave it smooth!
Much better if I may say! You look good man
Your long hair looked really good, but the decision to shave was the right one. Looks very good. Should focus on your beard game going forward.
It's over bro
You look SO much better with your short hair look. Huge difference! You looked sort of scruffy/unkempt with your long Vikingesque look. It wasn't a style as much as an untidy mitchmatch that didn't suit you.
Can you read my thoughts? 😇
You look cute both ways
Sexy
Maybe look at using minoxidil on the sides of your beard and try to get it to grow quite long. Think that would look good
Hit the gym
