Hey gang,
So as the title suggested, I am approaching my 34th birthday in January and I feel the time is right to make a real, dedicated attempt at this. I've always had a young looking face..so much that I endured appearing like a teenager in my 20s, and then a 20-something in my 30s. This might benefit me sometime later in life perhaps but for now I would like to look my age.
I've always been apprehensive about giving this a proper attempt for several reasons: 1. my job up until a few years ago would not have allowed me to be anything other than clean shaven 2. I seem to have sparse density and patchy spots 3. And finally the few times I did try and grow it out, I committed cardinal sins such as an overly high neckline, and running to shave it off after some negative comments.
Before I get to the particulars I have to say this forum seems like exactly what I need to see what my potential is! Reading several of the threads in this section was very inspiring and the feedback and support given are nothing short of amazing.
These pictures I'm posting are 3 weeks of no shaving. I'm not entirely sure what specific style I would be interested in yet...unfortunately I fear I have density and coverage deficiencies that might severely limit my options. But I will fall back on the community's expertise and advice.
Thanks in advance for any feedback, questions, or comments. I will try to update at least biweekly.
