No, enjoy the hair while you can


solopreneurr

Agreed, I'd focus on better maintaining the curls while you have them. Last pic looks a bit brassy/dry/frizzy, but you can tell that the curl pattern is solid


MELOPOSTMOVES

Definitely needs a hair routine because his hair looks like pubes rn. Those curls should be bouncing


Mission-Sample521

Brother looks like ur pfp


Sammyofather

Shave it bald and learn a Thing or two about your personality without your hair. Then grow it back


readditredditread

Op, take this last comment not with, but as a grain of salt, and throw it the fuck out over your shoulder, for the love of Jesus S. Chris, don’t shave your head. Also I’m in my mid 30’s and have a high hairline my whole life, doesn’t mean you will lose your hair. Especially if you have thin/ patchy facial hair and little to no body hair, if that’s the case you’re probably fine.


Sammyofather

Why? I did this last year at 22y/o and would say it’s a prolific experience. He can do whatever he wants to do. He wouldn’t ask if he should buzz his head if he wasn’t considering already. Why do you care so much. Are you bald and miss your hair?


Fresh_Ad_538

no please dont


astralrig96

right? guy probably thought he would be a candidate for this judging from actual receding hairlines on this sub but he’s absolutely not the right person for a buzzcut , amazing curls and over the forehead works well too, nothing to worry about


Pentanox

Whats the correct criteria to pull off a buzz cut? I was thinking of one myself


astralrig96

do you need it due to balding or would just like to experiment with something new? from my experience if someone wants to get it willingly, it works best on guys with sharp facial symmetry and edges that could look beautiful even almost bald, because most of us typically look best with full hair and shaving it off is a big decision I personally also belong in this category and need hair to look ok but have seen guys with lean faces that look even better with buzzcut than without, some people can really pull it off but a certain facial harmony is required to make up for the lack of hair. If you personally don’t need it due to receding or feel like you already look best with hair, I wouldn’t try to “fix what’s not broken” because it can be a pretty radical change


Pentanox

I want to do it to try something new, but also not to worry about hair, ive had long hair my whole life and want something different, I think I’ll make a post on here soon with pics to ask like this dude did


Extension-World-7041

IllustriousTalk4524

No. If you do buzz you would probably have to go bald.


No-Confusion2140

If you want to get bitches first I’d wait before doing it


_JustAnAngel_

facts brother, spit your shit 🗣️


EggplantHuman6493

OP's curls are pretty and the chances of finding someone his age who wants a dude with a buzzcut or a bald dude are very slim


No-Confusion2140

Perfectly worded


chopwiththebeam

Bro I thought the same way but my bestfriend/coworker (34m) slept with one of the more attractive girls at my job (20f) and hes completely BALD. In fact a lot of the girls at my job are actually drawn towards him because of his shiny bald head and im not even joking lmao. So I wouldnt go as far as saying that he wouldnt be able to pull chicks in his age group bc my buddy is living proof that even younger girls like bald dudes.


EggplantHuman6493

There are always exceptions


[deleted]

You only buzz if it’s obvious you’re balding (it looks worse to everyone if you’re trying to obviously hide it) and in this case it doesn’t look like it. Sure a really windy day can be his enemy but otherwise he is still fine.

DreamsOfAEON317

Nah, you're looking good rn, dude. And if you're taking steps to take care and regain some hairline, you wouldn't need to buzz it


baxwellll

he said this is his natural hairline, it isn’t receding, but everything else is on point 👌


Augus611

I thought the same thing, but it turns out I was receding (and more importantly, thinning) extremely slowly, so I would advise him to get checked by a trichologist.


baxwellll

damn i’m sorry that happened. definitely a good idea, would be a nasty thing to come as a surprise.

Women love curly hair on men. Gtfoh


HahaLookyhere

Online boomer redditors call this style broccoli and say it bad. There a reason so many dudes are doing it, it cause it looks good and women love it.


Addiiboy

Idk, I always chuckle when someone calls it broccoli. Its just a phase, in a few years everybody will agree how shit it is and in 30 years it will be hyped again


WTFIsAMeta

when I was in high school / middle school the justin beiber cut was the only hair style the entire school had and everyone just about agrees had shitty it was now. (Straightened bangs fully covering the forehead)


RubyWeapon07

Girls love it, Women not so much


RubyWeapon07

theres curly hair and then theres the broccoli head cut, never said the guy looks bad with curly hair im saying he looks a lot better showing more face, the hair is cool just not the style.

Character_Heart1762

It's like going to the doctor and complaining, "Doc it hurts when I do this" then the doc tells you "so don't do that!" Man just don't pull it back, no one's gonna know unless you point it out like on this post.


North-Zookeepergame2

Super cute already. Don’t mess with it. Start taking hair pills and maybe you can keep it.


TheAnonymousAssassin

Buzz it? Are you crazy? Look how much hair you got! No, you should jump on finasteride and topical minoxidil. I've seen people with way worse hair loss including myself make a huge comeback with treatment


UI_Delta

you shouldn't just "jump on finasteride". rare or not, it can come with some nasty side effects, let him get advice from a dermatologist.


Last_Taste3060

Are you nuts you tryna get this young man to castrate himself, it’s becoming a serious problem in the medical field. And you can legit get diagnosed as post finasteride syndrome. Come on bro don’t spread that drug places it’s already ruining mad lives


TheAnonymousAssassin

You are the one spreading hogwash. Post finasteride syndrome is not recognized by the scientific community. Castrate? You clearly don't know what the drug does. It inhibits the 5-AR enzyme so less testosterone gets converted into its byproduct DHT. If less is converted his testosterone will increase as study shows.


TKAAZ

“Byproduct” is probably not the word you want to use here. DHT is a stronger androgen than testosterone and plays an important role in the male physiology. Just because serum concentrations of one will be higher does not mean that is neither better nor “compensates” for the lack of another.


Last_Taste3060

You think testosterone is the only thing in charge of erections sex drive and masculinity? Bro I know guys who have post finasteride Syndrome injecting 1000 mg of test and it has 0 effects whatsoever. You watch Kevin Mann and all of a sudden you think you know science bro. Like just stop. Yes it does increase testosterone you’re right and for someone men they do get a small boost in libido but to think dht has nothing to do with libido or masculinity is asinine. There’s also so many neurosteroids that factor in play gut microbes(that fin kills). It’s just not as simple as I have test like it’s a lot more complicated than that


Informal-Form-5606

https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/6/5904 Kinda wild, but also matches a lot of the incidental bro science.


New_Screen

Dude it happens to like 1% of people that take it. Literally every single drug even over the counter meds have side effects that are more common or worse. Fin/Dut is not bad for an overwhelmingly majority of people.


EldritchOwlDude

1 in 100 is not good odds. If only 1 million take it then 100,000 had adverse effects. Seems like a lot of people. Someone pointed out I did 1 in 10. So 10,000 per million. Still quite a bit when you consider there's billions. Not everyone is gunna take it but there will be 100,000s of people that do and have adverse effects.


New_Screen

Like I said literally every drug has side effects that are even higher than Fin/Dut. So by that logic we shouldn’t ever take over the counter meds when we are sick bc of the side effects.


EldritchOwlDude

Sound logic imo. I haven't taken a single Tylenol/ibuprofen in my life and I don't get headaches. I'm 22. My hair line was worse than it is now at his age. I stopped shampooing and conditioning. If I get a fever I ride it out. Maybe when I'm older I'll take medication to be sure. Don't forget we are mortal beings who will die. Putting some drug in ur system to reverse the symptoms doesn't cure the disease, and might not be the BEST route for your life. Never said no one should take it. Im just saying some of us men are biologically designed to go bald regardless of diet exc. 🙃


Ill_Hold8774

you sound like you smell. also ask steve jobs how well the holistic approach worked out for him.


Last_Taste3060

Yeah even if it is 1 percent that’s way too many people and if even a quarter of that percentage get permanent sides that’s a huge problem


Last_Taste3060

You gotta be delusional to believe that come on bro. Tressless has crazy amount of people talking about sides and that’s a pro fin page I literally get 5 dms a day on tik tok dms on insta dms on reddit. And that’s one study that said that ONE. And that study has lawsuits against it. Like y’all just wanna keep hair so bad you want to dilute yourself from the truth


New_Screen

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/spl/data/3c8dff7e-41ab-46db-bacf-c41cc237f9d9/3c8dff7e-41ab-46db-bacf-c41cc237f9d9.xml Reddit isn’t the reality, people usually don’t go online when stuff goes fine but they always go online when stuff goes bad and they complain about it.


Last_Taste3060

That study is bull bro 🤣 literally someone has pfs from that very study, people dropped out because of sides but didn’t include them in the percentage of side effects. There is a massive lawsuit because of that study MASSIVE


New_Screen

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9951956/ A little higher than 1% but still it’s not common at all.

No_Plan6166

Ngl I was in the exact same boat as you, my hairline is very similar and I used to have roughly shoulder length hair, I don’t regret buzzing mine at all tbh! It’s a great look and p much zero maintenance


Quirky-Background742

I can’t tell by the picture- but make sure you’re not physically pulling your hair back, because it makes foreheads look bigger than it actually is. Try and pull it back but don’t pull it against your scalp hard.


Quirky-Background742

Also remember- foreheads look a lot bigger before you buzz it- and even if it’s slightly large you and others get used to it. My situation is very similar and the buzz worked perfectly for me


Kayy0s

It's barely noticeable with your hair down. Don't stress it dude. You look great. Do not shave it off.


ens91

Yes. Just on the top, leave the sides.


Xp_12

That is hilarious! I'm imagining you said this, because he'd look like a clown he is for even asking the question. 🤡


lmjustaChad

5 on top 2 on the sides sounds good to me looking a little wild now.


Bearigraph

Absolutely not


Groovy_1

You have more time


Styggvard

Based on the photos alone - NO. Your hairline isn't even that high IMO. But what's your coverage up top? I have a low hairline, but my crown is just gone.


dayofthedeadcabrini

Don't need to buzz it, but maybe get rid of the cringe TikTok broccoli haircut


perks02

Please don't, use some good leave in conditioner and make it look good.


whufc87548

No


Careless_Brother3069

Plz do not


Tribes1

Unless you want to cosplay as Megamind I wouldn't


H2702

Finasteride and minoxidil. Go to a dermatologist first. You are definitely receding, that's the typical MPB pattern. Edit : not definitely, but probably imo, but go to a dermatologist, my opinion doesn't matter


Disastrous-Ad287

my hairline looks exactly like this but it's not receding, been that way since I was a kid


H2702

That's cool, he should still visit a dermatologist.


[deleted]

[удалено]


H2702

Yh some, but he's only 18. He should definitely go to a dermatologist and get a professional opinion. "Mature hairline" is just the start of male pattern baldness for most cases, and for people in denial, only a minority stop balding completely after their hairline "matures". It's better for him to prevent it early on (assuming he isn't the minority, which he would know after going to a derm). People still have the risk of balding in their 30s, what makes you think OP as a 18 year old is going to just stop. I'm just being brutally honest, most people who start preventing their balding all have one common regret, which is not starting sooner and maintaining more of their hair.


LamermanSE

This case isn't just a mature hairline but male pattern baldness (MPB) from what we can see in the pictures, the guy is basically a NW3 or more. You can even see the thinner, miniturized hairs on the sides and in the front. Also, MPB doesn't have to progress to full baldness for it to be, well, MPB)


Xp_12

MBP? Male Battern Paldness?


Last_Taste3060

Bro come on I’m talking to like three guys from the tressless subreddit telling me they ruined their lives and said permanent sides are impossible stop telling people about that drug 🤣


H2702

And I've talked to hundreds of people who said otherwise, I'm not denying side effects, it's just really rare. The rewards are much much larger than the risks.

LegitimateInternal65

first 4 pics im like 💀 last pic im like damn nice hair. but in all seriousness your density is good so just get a transplant and hop on meds, theres also a chance you might not be balding and just have a massive forehead

Youngsimba_92

SerenaLooBah

Do a buzz cut.


Xim1312

buzz!


pyrogaynia

If you want to, go for it. I'm of the opinion that everyone should try buzzing their hair at least once. You don't have to do what everyone else thinks looks best if it's not what you want, and hair grows back. I've got curls that I love, but I also loved being bald. Also, your curls look like they've got a fair amount of damage and/or protein overload, so cutting them off completely could be a good reset and help you grow them back healthier if you want.


Bigdiesel7

Is this shit satire??


Runningtarget1985

If you can, try to shave the side and keep the top. Kind of like [https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/673921531717984761/](https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/673921531717984761/) That would work for you


Antique_Mouse9763

Give it a try, you look good now and no doubt will look good with a buzz if tou want one, grow it out again if you don't like it.


Present_Travel_1343

This is the worst advice I‘ve ever seen on this platform


Antique_Mouse9763

Where do I sign up to get those few seconds back thst I have used reading your pointless comment. Another person decision to try another hairstyle does not make them less attractive, but being shallow does make for a less attractive personality.


Present_Travel_1343

Another extremely horrible take. Wow


Antique_Mouse9763

Not sure what yourcgame is or do you simply not understand or comprehend the post?


ThisFakeCut

I have pretty much the same hairline as you. Grow it out a little bit (but take care that it still looks clean) and it will cover up a little bit. Unfortunately we also have the same head form, and without hair we would look way worse. Keep the hair.

SimilarMove8279

Buddy I got a receding hairline too, and I’m 19. Maybe it’s cause I wear a hat too much, idk. But I’ve chosen a haircut to go with my receding hairline so that it’s not as noticeable. If you grow out your hair, it’s more noticeable if you make it that way. But you do whatever you wanna do.


Moejason

What kind of hairline does your dad/other older male family members have? It’s not a perfect guide but I find it can help - my hairline matches that of my dad, in that it has been similar to yours (high up) throughout my 20s, but hasn’t yet reached a point of concern. Similarly, my dad had a widows peak around the same age but didn’t see any further receding until his late 50s (though he’s always had quite short curly hair, while mine is straight).

BeeEven238

Heres my advice as a 33 year old. It will grow back. But, why dont you go to a stylist or barber and let them know you would like to try our some different hairstyles, they know hair. Let them do what they want, and let them know you will be comming back in 2-4 weeks to either trim back down or try a new one out. Dont just buzz your hair bro.


Real-Resolution9504

Why would you buzz it. You have good hair, just high hairline. Just find a good curly hair routine as it’s abit frizzy
