So, over the past month or so i have been debating whether or not to do this. Now, when i say "shave my head" i do not mean completely bald. I just want it to get pretty short. Probably going to use the longest guard on the clippers.

here is a picture of me with semi-longer hair than i have right now

[image loading]




obviously im going to keep the beard but i might have to shorten it up a little.

i am just iffy about what i would look like, and i know "it will grow back". It's a pretty big change since I've had long hair my entire life.

hopefully i can get some thoughts and opinions :D

thx tl

here is a picture of one of my friends with something similar to what i am going for.

obviously i am going to keep my beard but it might have to be shortened up a little bit. i have had long hair all my life so this is kind of an odd thing for me. i know it will grow back but im still a littly iffy on the subject :D

I firmly believe that every guy should try shaving their head once in their life. I think for some reason it gives you a new perspective on things/life. You can always grow it back out. I did it the first year of grad school for maybe a half a year or so and it was just a refreshing change.

You should do it. It'll be a hit with the ladies I'm sure.
You'll look like a whole different person to yourself too. It's kinda cool.

I went from having a lot of hair to having very short hair and I can say I am much happier with it short. It's all personal preference, but I think you should go for it.

Get a clean haircut but don't shave your head. Trim the beard to something shorter and better kept but keep it, beards are in. Especially in the winter - see Gerard Butler or Clooney.

Agreed with this, your hair looks perfect where it is, but either trim the beard or grow it out more. The length it's at right now seems...I dunno, just off. Either way, I'm still incredibly jealous, I wish I could grow a beard like that

i once had really long hair, like down to the middle of my back, then went for the opposite. and the only type of haircut i do now is down to 0mm whenever the length starts bothering me again, which is pretty fast, cause that inbetween length (too long to count/look good as short hair but too short to count as any kind of haircut) is just meh.
growing hair back always requires you to go through that meh phase.

I'd keep the hair man.. it looks good on you and you seem comfortable with it.

Plus i don't really think form your photo you can pull off the tough guy image that your friend seems to have.

Yea id just keep the beard more trimmed

But.. why do you want to cut in the first place? If you you even considered it so far as to create a blog about it on TL.. id say you want to do it. So just do it.

If you don't like it it will grow back

Plus you get t experiment with other styles as it grows back.

Edit: @t OP where was that photo taken at? You got some nice scenery behind you.

I usually shave my hair down to something alike to that second picture - 1/3rd inch or so. Then I let it grow 'till it reaches your length at pic 1. That way I get both the styles, and it's awesome.

That being said, your first pic is pretty cool. Keep your hair till it starts getting annoying, then shave it down.

I'd say either keep the hair (ehhh), or shave your hair and keep the beard clean (that is, shorten it a good amount). You'll look pretty classy after doing that, I think.

As many have said already: keep the hair, but trim that beard. Beards rock, but only if they are well-groomed.
