The time has arrived. Fr tho I feel so much more confident now that I got rid of it. I'm aware that I'm not good looking but it's a massive W over thinning hair

Edit: the uneven side of my head is from operation when I was younger. Just FYI

Shaved it today and I’m real happy with how it looks. What do you think?

Had someone close to me convincing me for years that it was better to have some hair.

my roomate said (in a good way) i kinda look like a hairless cat now, so in honor of that i drew myself as one➡️

I was diagnosed with leukemia on Dolly Parton day and started taking the chemo pills that night. It’s only been 18 days, but my long hair started to break and fall out within a couple weeks. The cancer and chemo tried to take my cool hair, so I shaved it on my own terms. I’m happy to know that I can, indeed, rock a bald head.

I took the plunge a few years ago because I just didn’t have as much on top as I did on the sides and I didn’t want to look like I was trying to hold onto something that just wasn’t there anymore. Chewbacca has puppy-pattern baldness. He is bald from his chinny chin chin to his comically hairless butthole. He is my everything burrito. Do we belong?

I keep the sideburns lower than most but I think that works better for my face. Currently at a #2 clipper

I struggled with my thinning hair, but getting rid of it has given me a huge confidence boost.

Counselors, please advise.

So I'll be honest with you, I haven't shaved my head for 4 weeks as I've been booked in for a second HT.

I really noticed how bald I was on the top of my head in a full length hotel mirror...and now I'm wondering if it's any point going ahead with it at this stage?

I’ve always avoided shaving my face because I’ve always thought it made me look ill.

Someone mentioned I should cross-post this over here! 🖤 glad to be rid of my long(ish) hair & feel like myself again!

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 decided to shave it all off at first I wanted a hair system and then, I got it I hated it. Next I was like you know what what the hell!! let's just go for it and while we're at it let's try minoxidil while it "grows back" I see the vision still haven't fully embraced it I used to have the most beautiful hair was told by hairdressers that I would "never lose it" and look at me now 😔

I have been balding since my mid-30s. I was hiding it with hats and getting haircuts pretty regularly. During COVID, I shaved my head since the only person who saw me was my wife, and I wasn't crazy about it, so I let it grow back while secretly cutting the sides down to allow my crown to fill in. Earlier this year, I just got tired of running to the barbershop every two weeks, the endless algorithm of get a hair transplant or a toupee, try all sorts of remedies and products that I never really kept up with, hearing people's opinions on my hair, and worrying if my wife was going to leave me because I didn't have hair anymore (which she didn't she says she like me in all my baldness). This time it felt official I was trying my best to own it. The few people that have seen it have been really positive. The only people that are weird about it are my parents; they are like Why do you keep do shaving your head and trying this for it. So I still have to keep a hat on standby with them. So my question to the council does the insecurity of being bald ever truly go away?

So I have been dealing with some kind of specific "bald" spot at the very tip of my hairline for a few years now, though I could hide it with caps/beanies but its gotten to the point where I felt too embarassed to ever remove my hat...

So I tried something different: very short no guard hairclipper haircut... I feel like it looks off somehow. What do you guys think? I somehow look older with this almost bald look and I don't know if I like it, should I keep it ? Go for even shorter?

Would appreciate any kind of feedback positive or negative honestly 😰

Recently took the plunge, probably well before I needed too but the writing was on the wall and I wanted to get used to it.

One thing I didn’t expect was the fact that my head is basically the most advanced form of Velcro the world has ever seen. Everything sticks to it—my shirts, my beanies… okay that’s all I’ve noticed so far but still.

Any tips for a newbie? I don’t know if I can bic my head every day.

My uni friend asks if it’s time, we all agree. Except him…

Not really sure how I feel about it 😅

Edit: Shorter in the comments. I'll update with a beard.
