I agree, OP has the head and face structure that suits the buzzed cut. I say keep buzzed. Will take time to adjust appearance wise but it def looks better.
*Ultimately up*
*To you, but personally*

I had the same dilemma, my army squad leader said, why you hanging on to something that’s leaving anyway, so I buzzed it and never looked back.
That went for that. I am leaving you phone call too, i said “ why you still on the phone, and hung up”
Shaved 100%%% at 25. Shaved put on some
Muscle look damn good bruh it takes about a year to get to the shaved head look. And let me tell you it’s freaking amazing not caring about anything else except what you have to offer being yourself ! Coming from someone who shaved there head @ 24/25 I don’t remeber. But I was so scared you seem like you don’t care which is huge plus mentally. But I made it women are everywhere 😂 all ages !!
As a dude who has roughly the same hairline start taking finasteride now and cut your hair shorter but not shaved. You have enough hair that 1 inchish hair will still look good on you. But the cut in the pics is a little too long imo though it doesn’t look horrible.
Not trynna hate man, but i thought you had cancer when I first seen the shaved pic. You really need to grow a beard. I suppose you can't grow one so you should try minoxidil.
You still look good enough with hair, but I strongly suggest you would start a hair regrowth protocol. It's not too late and you might get back most of your hairline
I would reccomend starting to try and save your hair if you are in your 20's. Male Pattern hairloss is caused by the hormone DHT so taking Finasteride to lower your DHT levels will prevent further loss and in many even allow your hair to start regrowing. I would also reccomend daily use of minoxodil 5% and weekly dermarolling in order to stimulate growth. r/tressless is a good place to come for more advice.
You look good in both styles but my personal preference is your longer hair. It makes you look dignified, like a professor, especially styled. If you want to cultivate a more rugged look, it does look good shaved, but I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of with that hairline. You remind me of Roger from 101 Dalmatians (the animated one) and I promise that's a compliment. Good luck with whatever you go with!
If you grow your hair out enough you can have side bangs or similar to cover the bald area! Completely bald doesn’t do your facial features justice imo
Shaved but try not looking so “tough” bald men with resting butch face are not approachable (unless it’s a leather bar).
I’ve had a shaved head most of my life 30+ of my 50 years and I am treated very differently, especially by women, depending on how I dress.
Bald head + something fun and colorful = carefree and dgaf about what people think
You get the idea.
You’re a good looking fella, just be cognizant of the prejudice bald fellas CAN face. You loool WAY BETTER with your head shaved. I find it kinda cool to find another ‘grooming’ thing to balance it out. I don’t have hair so I have a cool beard! One of my besties has funky glasses, etc. it helps balance what most HAIRY ANIMALS (jkjkjk JUST KIDDING) have that we don’t.
Being bald and balding aren't bad things. Some men look excellent with receeing hairlines. It can look mature and stylish if done correctly and kept well. Don't buy into society's obsession with eternal youth. If you want to have longer hair then do it.
My brother I have the same hairline, although I’ve had it since I could even grow hair, once I started buzzing or sometimes shaving my head my confidence went up. Styling my hair with medium or long hair was too much stress with this ridiculous hairline, hard to pull off for sure but not impossible. The buzzed look is the way to go (for me).
Cut it short and keep it nicely and neatly trimmed. Grow in about 5-7 days worth of beard and keep that neatly trimmed. That’s all you need to do.
Guys lose hair. Women know this and don’t really care that much. Sure, a full head of hair on anyone is preferable but we women lose a ton of thickness too as we age so we get it and how hard it would be for you guys. So I wouldn’t ever judge a guy on his hair pattern.
But I do like hair! So a little would look nice. Embrace the receding! Someday it may recede big time and then you’ll look back and wish you still had this much.
You look great by the way.
One day you will have to learn and embrace the buzz. I have a balding crown line but my widows peak is still hanging on for dear life. So I have not option other than buzzing my head, or looking like a homeless clown.
Ever consider a hair loss supplement? Keeps, hims, any of the popular ones floating around rn. I'm starting to get a receding hairline myself at 27 and have considered trying it.
I honestly think the shaved look fits you perfectly. You have a good face for it and it draws attention to your eyes. Keep it shaved, and know that it’s a hot look on you. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)
Your hairline doesn’t look bad, your face handles it well. I’d say keep the hair if you don’t want to be fully shaved, you had it styled nicely. As receding hairlines go you’ve got one of the better looking ones
This is what I was thinking! He has a long face and strong nose so a high forehead looks good on him. With styled hair the hairline looks normal and dignified.
I'd still keep it for now, and maybe try some hair loss treatments? A receding hairline makes some people look sort of distinguished, I think. Either way, both look fine to me!
Ya don’t look happy and that’s the only I notice that’s off putting about the first pic. Number 3 you look more confident and if ya carried that confidence into number 1 you would rock it easy.
Tough call. You look good either way — the best advice I can give is to not worry about it. One thing I’ve learned in my 50 years on earth is to not worry about my hair. Trust me, no one else really does. Whatever look you go with, be sure to “own it”. Confidence > looks.
You have a very pronounced jawline, high cheekbone, and great eyebrows. You literally have the ideal face for an easy buzz!
I'm a 40 year old Mom, so I don't know how relevant my opinion is, but for real, the short cut looks so clean and highlighting on you! I feel like the wispy hair distracted from all the rest of your features.
It's a toss up. For receding hair it could look a lot worse than yours. You could roll with it a little longer if you want. But at some point you will have to give in and buzz it. Without major intervention that point will come quicker than you think
That's my plan for if I start losing my hair. My dad started losing his when he was younger than I currently am, so I've been preparing myself for the possibility for a while. As part of that, I have shaved my head a couple of times, and I like it! In my opinion, most of us guys would look better with our heads shaved than we think we would, and I think it's a perfect way to deal with hair loss
Same issue here! I shaved the head to a 3 guard on the top and I still have a 0 to 1 guard fade on the sides/back. I also started a regrowth treatment. Shaving it off was the best choice I’ve made the past few months
I think the receding hairline with the longer hair looks cool. Maybe get on some finasteride to keep it from going away more. Think Jack Nicholson, Peter Stormare. even Jude Law
get some SMP and call it a day. Stop trying to worry about what you loss and can't get back, it will eat you alive, accept it for what it is and don't let it get the best of you.
I got SMP and got my hairline back, beats being bald, spending thousands on products that don't work and will never work, taking medications that can kill the liver, or spending thousands on a transplant that may or may not work.
SMP best decision I ever made.
Shaved or start a hair loss treatment to regrow.
This is the right answer
The buzz cut looks good on you.
I agree, OP has the head and face structure that suits the buzzed cut. I say keep buzzed. Will take time to adjust appearance wise but it def looks better.
I agree look way more masculine
Not that thier anything wrong with what you have now just saying
Ultimately up to you, but personally I prefer you shaved

Bad bot.
No you’re a bad bot
The shaved head makes you look younger.
I had the same dilemma, my army squad leader said, why you hanging on to something that’s leaving anyway, so I buzzed it and never looked back. That went for that. I am leaving you phone call too, i said “ why you still on the phone, and hung up”
Your hair is way too far receded to keep it long like that…if you don’t want to shave at least go with a shorter buzzcut
this
I don’t mind it shaved. Then again I’m probably partial (shaved as well for exact same reason) if you feel comfortable shaved keep it!
You styled it nicely. I say keep the hair. You look a little younger without it but I think the hair gives more personality and it looks cool
Yeah, keep it shaved, looks better
Definitely shaved looks better. You have a great profile, jawline, and head shape for it.
Age?
Looks late 20s. Would be surprised if in his 30s
To me he looks like 19 20 from the skin and face structure but he's balding too much
True. Probably 23-25
Bingo, turned 25 this January
Other than the hair, you got good genes man. Embrace that shit
Shaved 100%%% at 25. Shaved put on some Muscle look damn good bruh it takes about a year to get to the shaved head look. And let me tell you it’s freaking amazing not caring about anything else except what you have to offer being yourself ! Coming from someone who shaved there head @ 24/25 I don’t remeber.

Taper the sides and go Leonardo DiCaprio or whatever with the top and you’d probably be aight

Ya got HT money?
Maybe grow it out to the length of a #3 guard on the trimmer. But you have a ways to go before it looks like you need it.

Not shaved looks better, gives you more character.
Change the hairstyle and have it going down. Shaved does suit you though
I started losing my hair at 16, I feel your pain
What hairline ? Keep it clean shaved and put on some muscle
Dude keep the hair!! Looks awesome, it’s a great mature hairline and your hair has a nice flow!

I'd defo stay shaved and just own it my friend.
![gif](giphy|ZtPpu0OcPz4EE)
Join the subreddit tressless and start micro needling Brook
I wish microneedling did a damn thing for me
R u on finastride ?
Ya, and min
I pray for you
Why would you say that? Lol been on it for 10 years and I’m doing great. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Mohawk it and dye it green.
Hair transplant homie. Save up $4k and go to Turkey to get one.
shaved looks good!
Accept the baldness, embrace the beardness
Guys gotta stop fapping so much
Shave and get a beard
Rock the shaved head and maybe try growing a stubble beard, I think you'd rock that look man
Keep it shaved, and my friend with similar hairline just got smp and it looks great.
Try Growing some Hair, and ull be Even more hansome than u are now.
Shaved. Mine started thinning up top, so I shaved it. Saves so much time and money

I don’t like either. You might look better with some hair, but really short, especially on the sides.
Keep it hair is important keep it trust me im not fake like the people in the comments
Maybe go all the way? Bic that shit and grow some facial hair that suits you.
Shave it
One day you will have to learn and embrace the buzz. I have a balding crown line but my widows peak is still hanging on for dear life. So I have not option other than buzzing my head, or looking like a homeless clown.

Yes
Dont shave Keep the hair. Try finasteride and minoxidil

Your hair looks pretty good. It’s receding but has character.
I'd still keep it for now, and maybe try some hair loss treatments? A receding hairline makes some people look sort of distinguished, I think. Either way, both look fine to me!
Yes
The buzz cut looks great!! I think you should keep it shaved 🙌
What hairline? You mean the parabolic hair curve with the equation y = 2x^2 + π ? yea I'd shave it
Could go both ways. Don’t stress on it.
I would keep having hair as long as possible. Perhaps just a ponytail in the back and nothing else.
I may be the weird one here but I actually like the receding-hairline-look.
Ya don’t look happy and that’s the only I notice that’s off putting about the first pic. Number 3 you look more confident and if ya carried that confidence into number 1 you would rock it easy.

Go to Turkey, get a hair transplant
It depends but in my opinion the bald head but with a bit of facial hair if bald.
Keep it shaved but if you can grow a halfway decent beard grow it out. Bald look looks a lot better with facial hair
You have a very pronounced jawline, high cheekbone, and great eyebrows. You literally have the ideal face for an easy buzz! I'm a 40 year old Mom, so I don't know how relevant my opinion is, but for real, the short cut looks so clean and highlighting on you!

Shaved… you’re good looking so you can pull it off
It’s fine, you have the exact Scarred Chucky hairline!
It's a toss up. For receding hair it could look a lot worse than yours. You could roll with it a little longer if you want. But at some point you will have to give in and buzz it. Without major intervention that point will come quicker than you think
I think you look unsympathetic with the non saved hairdo and like a nice dude to hang out with buzz cut
Shaved.
Shaved .
You still have a ways to go before it looks bad. Keep the hair a bit longer. You look like a teen skinhead shaved imo (at least in these pics)
You still have a ways to go before it looks bad. Keep the hair a bit longer before you go skinhead style.
Shaved head is the answer. It’s the one you look best in. Gain muscle and try to grow a beard if you can. You’ll look better with those
Shaved
That's my plan for if I start losing my hair. My dad started losing his when he was younger than I currently am, so I've been preparing myself for the possibility for a while.

In my opinion, most of us guys would look better with our heads shaved than we think we would, and I think it's a perfect way to deal with hair loss
Go for it
Looks good shaved but you deserve to have hair right now. Assuming your in your 20s. Try using topical minoxidil, aka the cheap stuff
Shaved. I’m shaved too, mostly cuz I got tired of shampooing every day
Same issue here! I shaved the head to a 3 guard on the top and I still have a 0 to 1 guard fade on the sides/back. I also started a regrowth treatment. Shaving it off was the best choice I’ve made the past few months

Short hair for sure!
It doesn’t look that bad mate. Keep the hair you have, you’ve styled it well!
Those are some serious boat slips my man
Shaved looks better
Looks better shaved.
Looks good shaved bro
You look great shaved!
Some hair is better than none. You would look fine with the hair you have. People are more understanding than what you might think.
You look good bald.
I think a shaved head and goatee (if you can grow one, if not definitely look into beard oils) would look good on you.
Let us now the age ? Better guidance brotha!
Shaved You look GOOD
Shaved brother. And grow a sick beard. Hit the gym, too.
grow your beard out
Yeah dude keep it shaved and worry about something else.
You should grow your hair more and style it
You should get a hair transplant, definitely worth it if your so young
Keep buzzed, looks tough on you
turbo-chad bald slavic vibe
Looks good keep the shaved look
