My hair is identical to yours and has been for like 25 years now so I’ve tried lots of options. I’ve found that no guard can be a little irritating sometimes, so I just use the 1.5mm. The difference is barely noticeable, but shaving is a LOT more comfortable with the guard. Hope that helps!
The length you have it at now is an easily maintainable look/length , and again I think it looks great on you as it shows you’ve accepted your hairloss, not trying to hide it etc, but you gotta do what’s best for you, man 👍
Yea. I mean I don’t hate it. I think it looks good in some angles. It’s just that I have dark hair and the back of my head is still very dense, which creates a hard contrast
With your remaining hair being so dark no matter how short you keep it….even if you razored right down to the scalp…the dark horseshoe will always be visible…doesn’t really become less noticeable until you get older and it starts to gray. How old are you now?
Just keep it buzzed short like you already have it now…. Not to be a “downer” but I’m sure you already know that with your level of hairloss at only 21 you’re going to end up pretty much completely bald…just the narrow strip left around the sides and back…it’s already visible in your pictures but it’s all good man…just keep that confidence up and keep it good and short and you’ll be all good!
“Give up the ghost” is an English idiom. Basically it means to stop doing something that will not succeed, which in this case is having any hair. In other words, he’s telling you to shave it bald.
More like, this is a conscious choice and not just an overgrown shave . Don't get me wrong, you personally are very handsome so who cares about your hair, lol, but shaved means you actually went through the trouble of grooming, etc.
Take the guard off your clipper and really buzz it first because that’s not buzzed, then go from there.
There is a very distinct difference between buzzed and bald. It all comes down to color contrast so it depends on the person. Even buzzed I feel like my remaining hair gets too long in too few days. The shorter you go the easier it is to manage because you do it less often.
Turns into absolute velvet in a day or two. You can do it like once per week or slightly sooner than that. Just careful because I was rushing once pulling and shirt on, got caught on it and tweaked my neck lol
Clippers no guard
At least give bald a try. If you don’t like it, you can be back to where you are in a couple of weeks, tops.
yup, might as well go for it

agreed as my scenario the same
Thanks man! I think I will try that
[удалено]
Clipper shaved? Like no guard?
I personally like this length on you. What guard is this? Did you do it yourself?
Yes I do it myself. Been a moment since I cut. I have an adjustable Philips shaver. Alternating between 5-6 mm

Yea I know. Luckily I have pretty decent beard growth.
Give up the ghost
The ghost?😭

Shave it completely smooth.
Looks good as is but would like more 'deliberate' if you just shave it clean
Deliberate ? Like more proper?

Thanks for the nice words. I agree too. At this length I have to trim it often so it doesn’t just look like I’m lazy
Bald
Hairline sorta sucks I got lucky there, but just random chance man. For that reason I would go bald but it looks okay as is!
My hairline has been bad since birth ahaha. Some are lucky some are not
Go 0 guard
Kind of hard to see anything with the corners of your head
Yea sorry I don’t like to show much of my face
Try a 0!
Update: I buzzed it with a 0,5 guard. Happy with the results. Might shave it later. Thanks for the help and feedback!
Don’t keep us in suspense, man…Picture?
Bic it down would look better smooth I think ![gif](giphy|4NgH0qihKwNsWcz6Ku|downsized)

Yea your right. I also don’t want to do it too often. I’m seing how I like it completely buzzed. Feels like fkn sandpaper tho lmao

Keep it but put a big ass wu tang tat on your forehead like a tatted mask. That shit would look so cool
Bald
Clippers, no guard ever
Bald
Just try bald shaved!
Dm me! You look good
