It’s interesting that you often don’t know someone’s skull looks until they get a pixie cut, shave it, go bald, or get chemo. I was pleasantly surprised that mine was in (IMO) fine Picardesque shape when I got kojackulated by mother nature.
Do you have a good looking skull? If all your hair was gone tomorrow would you be able to hold your head up high? I’m especially interested if female dopers think they could cope in a hairless state without a wig.
This sucks.
Eventually I’ll have one of those “circle drive” heads and find the look unacceptable.
The problem is I have a BIG dent in the back of my head so just shaving it all off (what I’d much rather do that the circle drive) will result in a dented up skull showing.
I still have plenty of hair now but I can see it’s thinning in such a way that time aint on my side…come on medicine I need some Bugs Bunny hair grow style shampoo that will fill those thinning areas back in. 
Damn you astro for bringing this up AND having a good looking skull. 
I spent about a year of my late teens with a shaved head. I don’t miss it, but I enjoyed it at the time.
And yeah, I have a well-shaped noggin.
I’m female. My hair is cut in a fairly close style - not nearly buzzed, but very much shaped to my head, if that makes sense. However, I wear bangs (fringe, for you UK Dopers) because where most people have a forehead, I have a fivehead. We’re talking drive-in double feature capability. High and wide. So even if it happens that I have an adorable skull, I won’t be shaving my head anytime soon, thanks.
My brothers both shaved their heads when they were in their late teens. Actually, they were trimming one another’s hair with clippers, and one thought it would be funny to carve a stripe into the other one’s hair, which resulted in an epic tussle and ended with both of them cueballed. The younger one, to everyone’s surprise, has a lovely rounded skull and a nice even skin tone. He liked it so much he kept his head shaved for years. The older brother, however, discovered that he was literally a pointy-headed freak. Combined with the ratty goatee he insisted on wearing, he looked very much like Charles Manson… except with a pointy head.
I have this bump right on the back of my head that would show, so no. Plus, when I wear my hair in a really tight pony-tail, it gives me that orange-on-a-toothpick look (giant head, little body, and I’m not even all that skinny, and actually pretty well proportioned with the head-to-body thing). So no head-shaving here.
It’s like Sputnik - spherical but quite pointy in parts…
Yes I do. Aesthetically & literally speaking. 
No. I have a really high forehead, and I know if I shaved it all off I’d look like a really fat, bald egg. 
I have a beautifully round and wonderful head, or so I have been told. It can’t be that bad, since I shave my head and people don’t scream in terror…much.
I shaved my head just this week for the first time. A gentleman caller earlier today said that my head shape was “interesting.” He also seemed to enjoy the head, so I’m good either way.
I generally wear my hair cut quite short and my head is nicely shaped–if we’re talking basic head shape. My head is a bit, er, lumpy, however (especially now, since I knocked into a visor mirror in the car a few days ago).
I have never been bald (I was born with a fullish head of hair and kept it), so I’m guessing here, but I have a largish head, I take a large hat-size, and I have a dome-shaped back of the head, so I’m thinking I would look like a 60’s sci-fi alien if I shaved all my hair off now.
I have a really flat area of my head, in the back. Its drastic enough that it makes my hair look kinda strange in the area. I can have a book sit in it with no problem, even while walking around. So no, having a shaved head would look really really bad.
I just converted to a Princeton laydown (1" crown tapering to 1/2" over the ears and 1/4" back of the neck) due to balding. In the process I discovered my head is more or less hexagonal. I have a kind of ridge above the forehead, front to back, with the crown sloping down towards the temples.
And now he’s a boss, right? 
I have no idea of the shape of my head beyond my forehead. It’s covered in wavy-curly hair and I can’t see anything underneath, so if I were to shave my head I’d be in for a surprise!
But that would never happen because I have a big forehead. True story:
Setting: Junior high
Starring: Male friend of mine (Jim) and crush (Bob)
Additional info: Jamie has a gigantic, huge, imposing nose that sticks out about a half-mile from his face, and he looks like a bird
Jim: rinni has a crush on you.
Bob: Oh, you mean the girl with the big forehead?
If a guy with a nose that big was taking shots at my forehead, it must have been HUGE! Or else he’s never seen a mirror and didn’t realise I wasn’t the only one blessed with excessively large facial features.
I think my forehead has since assumed a more normal size, but because of that I’ll always be self-conscious about it!
Nope. Mine is definitely a head that needs hair. I have a big ol’ noggin and worse, a huge scar from a motorcycle indescretion in my youth.
Uhh… at the last minute I decided to change the names in my story, and left one unedited. Jamie = Bob. :smack:
DURR. As you can tell my big forehead does not conceal a big brain. (I kid.)
Given the alleged relationship between the size of the hooter and the size of something else, I’d have thought it would be a plus. 
A few years ago, my husband went from unruly curly hair to a buzz cut. I was hoping it was just taking me awhile to adjust to the change. But no, it was true… he has a tiny head!
He didn’t believe me and thought I was comparing it to my own slightly larger than normal head. Until… he got a job that requires the wearing of a hat. The hat is made to fit all sizes but it barely fit his tiny head!
I suspect not. Also, when I was born, I had a birthmark on the back of my head/nape of my neck. While I’m sure it’s faded, I wouldn’t want to take the chance that it hasn’t.
