I've been thinking about taking the plunge and going bald, and I'm curious what you guys think. Am I at the point where I should just embrace it, or do you think I should hold off a little longer?

I like to imagine the guy on the left just has that expression on his face 24/7, and all he does is wander around finding people with balding hairlines and just silently puts his hand on their shoulder

"Shaving your head is easy! Everyone can do it! Just follow my instruction. You just take the razor like this. Now go a little bit this way, not too hard! And a little bit that way. See? Just a gentle here and there. Now you are bald and happy!"

😂 Well, I guess the people have spoken! Looks like it’s time to take the plunge. Appreciate all the honest feedback, guys. I’ve been on the fence for a while, but I think I needed that push.

40m here. Had alot more hair then you and took the plunge. Foil shave it down. It will look good. Trim the beard and line it up. Good to go

It’s past time. If it was any more past-time we would call it baseball and make it national. I mean it’s way way past time

I know the camera makes bald spots look way worse.

So maybe you still have a little longer? Does it look the same on thr mirror?

u/DonsPizza0 15h ago

That was my main excuse for years...the lighting! 😂

u/SeaworthinessDue6093 15h ago

Oh well... but hey. I'm glad you are taking it so well. Keep up the high spirit and hope you love the new look

Do you have an outdoor youtube channel?

I say try going shorter without going all the way. I just went all the way this last weekend and I hate it. It's amazing what going from even a 2 to a 0 makes. Just something to consider.

u/WowIJustDontKnow 15h ago

You’re already bald. It will look much better shaved. You’re going to look great 👌

u/New_Acanthaceae4612 15h ago

Yes! You’ll look great!

u/Sevenserpent2340 14h ago

Maybe an unpopular opinion here, but a little balding in the back on a middle age dude is not a bad look. It’s fine. You look great either way imo.

Your post has been flagged for suspicion of violating rule three: No advocating of hair-replacement treatments, either topical or surgical.

If your priority at this time is hair-loss prevention, or attempting hair regrowth, your efforts may perhaps be better spent over at r/tressless. The philosophy of this sub is more inclined toward embracing baldness, rather than fighting against it.

Have you tried medication yet? Might be worth giving that a shot for a year and seeing what happens. I don't think it looks that bad and the nature of your thinning often responds well to medication. If it halts the progression and maybe regrows even 10-20% it could set you up for a while.
