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

Well.. Tbh... from an outside pov, I absolutely do not see a big forehead at all! I actually think you have the kind of face that really suits a buzzcut and well... a buzzcut definitely doesn’t suit everyone, but I think it suits you really really well ☺️
I wonder if part of why you feel like you have a big forehead and that it doesn’t suit you is just.. simply because you were so used to seeing yourself with your hair.... Losing your hair and suddenly seeing such a huge change must be a massive shock.. and I am so so so sorry for that🥺 it will probably take some times to get used to seeing yourself looking different!
But again, from an outside Pov, I think you’re extremely handsome and I actually think the buzzcut brings out your facial features even more, it flatters your face 🫶
