    Horse-shoe length?

    I am rocking a horse-shoe as I am a NW6.

    I find I feel I look better with my hair grown out for a week than I do shaved to a grade 0.

    I think a beard goes well on a very bald man, the ruggedness of having head hair grown out at a grade 3 goes well with the beard.

    I find a NW6 shaved to the bone isn't a great look, not sure why, but maybe it makes you look a little ill/unhealthy. The ruggedness of having the hair grown out a little gives a sexier look, like Jason Statham, he does not shave his head to the bone.

    What do other think?

    PS. YES......baldness is shit, and a horse-shoe is ****ing awful but for now this is what I have to live with, so I am trying to get by.

    It really depends on the shape of the persons scalp and their facial characteristics. There is hair style in men with hair loss that will look good for everyone.

      If I ever get to where you are, I wouldn't shave it. I would use a 1 guard. At this point I already use a #2 so I am already close.

        Yeah, I guess every one is different.

        The slick bald all over is not for me.

          Depends from person to person. I know 'horseshoe-guys' who look great slick bald and others who look more suitable with some stubble left.

          As long as you don't grow it out Danny Devito - or worse a pony tale - style it's all good.

            At NW6+, obviously the only way to go is 'The Skullet':




            Ladies love it.

              Ed Harris looks good with it.

                All the money Ed Harris has may also be a positive contributing factor.

                  Didn't Ed Harris land Julia Roberts in that one movie? ...And she's pretty good looking...

                    Drives me nuts when people use famous men as examples. They are rich, money will land you anything you want if you are willing to spend.

                    You think any girl Harris lands wouldnt leave him in a heartbeat for Clooney?

                    Just like saying any girl my brother lands wouldnt leave him for Harris..... until Clooney came along.

                    Balding men are at an extreme disadvantage. It will affect your success, self image, and outward image. These are all proven facts. There will always be exceptions but your chances of being that are about one in a million.
                    Sure if I became a millionare I could land any woman... Id be flaunting money like it was dandruff but in the end I would honestly be wanted for my looks.

                      Money definitely makes men more attractive. You cant really compare the average balding dude to a rich and famous bald guy. It's no comparison.

                        I don't agree with that. Hair serves no useful purpose, besides just cosmetics. And it only gives you a slight advantage in that too. I could go for a HT, but what is the point, as it would only slightly improve my looks. I would rather spend that money on something more useful.

                          Thats great if thats your case but for me its a matter of night and day.

                          See a pic of me a few years ago with hair and now and you would see a diff. See me with a shaved head and ewwww.

                          I only look good with hair.

                            For most people that is the case.
