Bald FilterShould you shave your head? See the answer on your own photo first.
Shaving your head is a quick decision with a slow undo. Hair grows about half an inch a month, so getting back to a short haircut takes around three months. That is why most people want to see what they would look like bald before they pick up the razor.
This bald filter removes the hair on your selfie and keeps everything else: your face, ears, beard and the shape of your skull. Upload a front shot and a three-quarter angle, because the side view is where head shape shows.
If you are shaving because of thinning or a receding hairline, compare the bald look with a buzz cut and a textured crop in the gallery. A very short buzz often gives most of the benefit with an easier way back.

Should you shave your head?
Thinning on top, not just the temples
Once the crown and the top are thin (Norwood 5 and up), a shaved head usually looks more deliberate than any haircut. At earlier stages, try a buzz cut first.
Head shape
Bumps and flat spots show with no hair at all. Check the side-angle preview; if the back looks flat, a #1 or #2 buzz leaves enough to smooth it out.
Beard or no beard
A beard moves the visual weight to the jaw and is the most common reason a shaved head looks strong rather than stark. Upload a photo with your current beard and the preview keeps it.
Scalp and skin tone
A newly shaved scalp is often paler than the face and evens out after a few weeks outdoors. Scars or birthmarks hidden under hair become visible, which no preview can know about.
Living with a shaved head
Shave every 1 to 3 days
Stubble shows within a day or two. A foil head shaver takes about five minutes; a razor gives a closer finish but takes practice.
Sunscreen and moisturizer
A bare scalp burns fast. Use SPF 30 or higher on your head outdoors and a light, unscented moisturizer after shaving.
Grow-out: about 3 months
At roughly half an inch a month, a shaved head reaches buzz-cut length in a couple of weeks and a short crop in about three months.
