Reasons for a bald shave

First of all, ask yourself why you are considering shaving your head.

  • Is it that no matter what you do, whatever hairstyle you choose, or how hard you try to get shape into your hairstyle, nothing really suits you? Every attempt at styling fails miserably? Then you have a first reason to go bald.
  • Exercise a lot and sweat a lot so that you can keep your hair have to wash accordingly often, and are you annoyed by it?
  • Do you suffer from progressive hair loss, is your head of hair already light? Even then, the bald shave may be a good choice, as a bald head usually looks better than a fringe of hair that makes you old.

When the bald head looks good on your face

Watch yourself, your head, and yours face good and pay attention to the following criteria:

Should I Shave My Bald Head? - Decision support

Not every man is gifted with a head of hair. If the hair is slowly going out, ...

  • Pick up a hand mirror and look at your head in profile. How is it shaped? If you have a round and beautifully arched head without noticeable flattening, you can assume that you are bald.
  • Also look at your head from behind using the hand mirror and ask yourself the same question. If you can also see the well-formed curve from behind, then this is confirmation that you are bald.
  • Now stand in front of a mirror and look directly at yourself. Do you have a high forehead? So you can almost imagine what you will look like with a bald head from the front. Do you like what you see?
  • Another criterion for making a decision is your ears. With a bald head, large or protruding ears are much more noticeable than with a "long hairstyle".
  • Also consider the shape of your face. If you have a narrow, rather elongated face, then wearing a bald head is definitely not a good decision. Here you should give your face a little more shape with the right hairstyle. However, if your face is rather plump, bald will definitely look good on you.
  • Do you have a beard, maybe even a full beard? If you want to maintain this, then you should refrain from being bald. It doesn't look good to combine a bald head with a full beard. In this case, you will only go bald if you are ready to part with your beard.

Tips on baldness

  • If you are still not sure whether you are bald, you can work your way up step by step. Always have your hair cut shorter or shave later. This has the effect that you can get used to your new bald appearance. The other way around, if you find that you are bald, you can simply let your hair grow faster again.
  • Bear in mind that balding will make you freeze faster than hair, as you lose more heat through your balding head. So you have to start wearing a hat sooner when the cold season arrives.
