Can scalp hair be permanently removed even though not bald? (Photos)

March 5, 2017
Asked By:scuba11 in San Francisco, CA

I have very thick, curly hair (it's like steel wool; I've never met another Caucasian with hair like mine) which has started to recede slightly but the widows peak part is still really thick. I keep my head shaved all the time so I would really like to have permanent hair removal to make my hair even more receded so the patch that I've circled red in the photo doesn't grow back. Is this possible / advisable / unusual ? Any views most appreciated.
