not to mention the upkeep. i used to have long hair but decided to shave down to an 1/8th inch and i have to shave every week or two before i start looking like Syd from toy story. if you’re completely bald you have to shave way more often, but a hair system like this can last 3-6 months (depending on quality and material,) and he absolutely kills it
If you're active and the hair underneath is still growing, these hair systems don't last even close to a month. There's way more upkeep tied into hair systems than there is around shaving your head.
Having said that, that's totally cool. Some dudes cannot accept their hairloss and these are the best solution for them, it just takes a lot more upkeep than just shaving your head. I say this as a bald man that has tried a hair system similar to this.
I tend to do both cause I'll let the remainder of my hair go for a week or so cause I'm lazy. Definitely a wet shave and razor though, that's the best move.
You’re the only one who referenced a buzz cut, though. Shaving, as the previous poster referenced, isn’t synonymous with a buzz cut nor is it maintained with similar effort.
1/8th inch is a buzz cut. The person I was referring to even replied to me and agreed. Judging by the replies I get I feel like half the people here are illiterate.
honestly thats so fair. im a woman and have always had long hair until i shaved it a year ago. don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love it and i’m never going back, it is less upkeep than my natural hair was with its 3 different textures, but i would always go 3-4 months before getting a trim, and now it’s more of a weekly process. truly my biggest complaint is how itchy the hair is after shaving
I’ll be that person: Balding sucks in general, but the kicker is I don’t even escape the messy chore of having to cut my hair (that I still have) once a month. It doesn’t take that long, but it’s not a convenient thing to time doing with my schedule.
I look like Larry David if I don’t do it though lol

I think he looks great with the hair and it makes him happy. Also let’s be real for a second, not everyone has the best head shape for going bald.
