If you must listen to the complaints of douche-bags just realize that what they say is 100% wrong. So if they want you to cut your hair, then what you really need is BIG A-- AFRO like this instead.
Trim it weekly with an electric razor
Wear a baseball cap
Leave it as is and suck it up, dude
Other - please add your suggestion to the thread
First off, your videos are excellent and your hair is just that, hair. It's not like you are doing a massive comb over and, even if you were, so what! Second, the internet is full of douche-bags that have nothing to do but to make themselves feel better by criticizing their betters. Screw the haters, don't respond to their stupid posts just ignore them or delete and ban the fools. I love your videos and think you are great just how you are. Don't let the morons bother you. Real people with real taste like you. Who cares about the rest.Originally Posted by Robert

Or just get AYHSMB tattooed on the bald patch

Robert, I always believe it is best to visualize a result before acting. The options appear to me to be:
1). Leave well enough alone.
2). Go for broke.
3) The Miao baby hat.
Personally, I like you best as is. But if you go for option 3 I think you could really be huge.
I have provided a handy visual aid to help you in your decision. Good luck!
Syo, that is just awesome. Robert, stay as you are or buy yourself one of those "Miao baby hats" and rock on!Originally Posted by syo
Keep it short........visible but short. Do not go bald. Most white guys don't have the proper shaped noggins to make BALD work like black guys do. It works with most black guys.........it flops with most whites.
Don't go the Justin Sandercoe route and wear a woolen hat. He and Satch look ridiculous with those things on.
I have a lot less hair than you and I keep it a notch or two above bald. Looks great and NO muss or fuss with wasting time combing it.
Don't shave! You'll look like you just did chemotherapy. I like it best as is. Do nothing and screw the punks on youtube.

Maybe an addition of a Fu Man Chu might add to the awesomeness. Maybe put down the jogging shoes for a while and pick up a heavy bag. I think in a short while you could be rocking an awesome new look:

Go for it! If you shave your head and don't like it, hair does grow back. And everybody needs to feel the wind on their scalp at least once in their life. To say nothing of walking in the rain; that's a real kick.
I started shaving my head about six years ago. Never looked back.

My wife thinks bald guys are hot. Unfortunately for her, I don't seem to have that gene in my DNA.
Personally, I think you have to go one way or the other. Embrace the baldness, and cut it short, or try somethign to regrow hair. I hate fake boobs, I'd rather see small, saggy, or not equally shaped boobs than fake ones. I reckon most people in the real world feel the same about hair. If they don't, they should.
Screw hats, screw plugs, screw rogaine, screw spray paint. Just get an electric and throw a number 1 on there and cut it all off.
Good one, syo! You've inspired me to look up my favorite YouTube guitar hair master, Jason Lee...

I find this to be difficult to answer. I have a good friend who had a pretty sizeable bald spot and medium-length hair. He eventually buzzed it and a while later added a beard. Now that's his look. However, I wasn't so sure any of the changes would be for the better. You just really don't know until you do it.
Basically, I'd say you should feel free to try anything, but don't do it because of the video comments. As somebody mentioned, the people who post those comments will probably just try to find something else to make fun of if you cut your hair.
