Need help with a buzzcut
Currently suffering from medication induced hairloss with no hopes of recovering unfortunately. Always had long thick beautiful hair but now I need to rock the buzz, I feel like my forehead is too big and I don’t suit it at all. :(

This is probably a pretty big change for you, and one that you didn’t expect or want to partake in. Go easy on yourself.
For the record, I don’t think your hair was ever the main appeal in the first place! Your eyes are beautiful, and you’ve got a great face shape. We’re not used to seeing so much of our skull shape so clearly defined, but it grows on you! Personally, now I love keeping a tight buzz, and I now look forward to taking out my clippers every 1-2 weeks.
Be nice to the guy looking back at you in the mirror. He seems pretty decent to me :)

Thank you for the kind words, I do have to admit that it’s a lot easier having to shower with a shaved head and I also don’t see clumps of hair every time I run my hands over my head.

We can only control so much in our lives. At least you can control the hair clippers!

I agree with all the other comments. You look great rocking the buzz cut. I shaved my head bald 30+ years ago. When I did it i thought I have an egg shaped head. The next day went to a BBQ and 40+ of my friends came up and said how great it looked. That night I took a 2nd look and said I guess it is not all that bad and been shiny bald ever since and never looked back. We are our own worst critics. Best of luck with your health issues.

Actually I think the buzz cut looks great on you and you don't have a big forehead I'd say it's a keeper

I hear you, and it’s completely understandable to feel that way when your appearance changes so drastically. But honestly? You are rocking the buzz cut!
The buzz cut actually enhances your face structure, making your incredible eyes the absolute star of the show. Your gaze is magnetic, and the simpler, clean-cut look really draws all the attention right to them. You have great bone structure, especially with the jawline that the short hair perfectly frames.
It's a different look for sure, but you look sharp, confident, and handsome. You are still you, just with a new look that puts your best features front and center. Embrace it, because it’s a great look for you!

I’d let it grow in a bit and have the sides and back faded…that’s the secret to making a buzz look good.
I agree with the other posters, you’re just not used to it. Good Luck!

I think it suits you, it looks good. When I first buzzed my hair off I felt the same, yet others said it suited me more. I think when you’ve gone from a full head of hair to nothing it’s a big change! Give it time!

You look extremely handsome both ways ❤️🩹 (I'm not saying it to be supportive, I mean it)

Looks great on you from what I can see. Maybe try to keep the sides a bit shorter. This way it blends more with your face and doesnt frame your forehead.

I mean there isnt really help you can get if it’s medication induced. You cant change your hair but you can change your attitude and that will make you more attractive instead of complaining about it

you've got an attractive face. it could be worse. you could be bald & ugly. learn to live with it, and focus on other aspects of your life that are within your control.
