Bald filter

See your own head at #0, as close to bald as clippers go, next to #1 and #2. Same face, same light, only the hair changes.

How close is #0 to bald?

A #0 is the clipper with no guard. It leaves about 1.5 mm, so the scalp shows everywhere, with a visible shadow of stubble.

A razor or foil shaver takes it to smooth skin. The tool does not render a razor shave; #0 is the closest it goes.

Receding hairline or thinning crown

Going very short is a common choice when the hairline is moving back, because it removes the contrast between thin and thick areas.

The tool keeps your real hairline, so what you see is what a real #0 would show.

Before you shave it all off

Check the back of your head with a second mirror. Ridges and flat spots show at #0.
Try a #1 or #2 first if you are unsure. You can go to #0 the same day.
Plan for upkeep. Stubble shows within days, so #0 needs the most frequent touch-ups.

Questions

Is this a real bald filter?

Most bald filters guess a smooth head. This tool renders a #0 clipper cut on your own photo, the closest real result to bald you can get with clippers.

Will I look good bald?

It depends on your head shape and how you feel about it. Compare #0 with #2 on your photo. If you prefer #2, a short buzz may suit you better than a full shave.

What is the difference between #0 and shaved?

A #0 leaves about 1.5 mm of stubble. Shaved means a razor or foil shaver down to the skin.

Does it work with a receding hairline?

Yes. It keeps your real hairline and crown, so the preview shows thinning as it would look after the cut.
