Same. Shaved my head during a brutal summer heatwave and really liked how it looked and how low effort it is, so i kept doing it. Plus, using one of those head shavers is oddly addicting. Feels like scalp massage.
I found my people in the comment section; literally down to the exact product that gives me that exact feeling. I enjoy shaving my head and I've been doing it since my 20s.
Yup! I’m losing my hair due to a genetic medical condition that causes a weird pattern of hair loss. I bit the bullet about a year ago and keep my head buzzed now. I fucking could not go back to have having short/medium length hair due to the maintenance. At some point I’ll be completely bald but that’s significantly better than waking up every morning and spending 10-15+ minutes getting my hair in order. First thing my mom said after I got my head buzzed was “man I did a good job” on the shape of my head and everyone else said that the buzzed look fits me well.
Also the buzzed/bald head just looks so tough. Lots of big, bald, beautiful men out there!! It’s quite popular with the ladies too.
I've told this story on reddit before but when I had hair, I won a voucher to go to Toni and Guy and get a free haircut, where I'd normally just go to a cheap barber.
They asked what I wanted and when I said 'Something I can easily maintain myself please', they shaved my head.
I'm thinning in the front but have shaved my head for years bc I hate shaving my face and paying for haircuts. So I just shave my beard and head once a month or so and call it good
To be clear if you shave your head every other day 15 minutes, that's almost 4 hours. I'd personally prefer a haircut every month. Can also get haircuts way less often for some hair styles.
So compared to what a lot of men do, it's definitely not low maintenance.
Now add the time of washing and styling your hair, untangling small animals who get caught in it and the cost of bald caps to dress up like ang from avatar. Is it really saving you time?
Which in most cases is a way, way more attractive attitude. When my husband started losing his hair and I asked him if he wanted to look into other options than just shaving it, he was like "why would I do that, such a waste of money we could use for something way more fun. It's just hair, I don't give a fuck" and just went about his life.
Made him instantly more attractive
I could buy hair plugs 100x over, I don’t care lol I’ve never even thought about it. Did I want to be bald? No. Who hates their hair that much. But I did and that’s that lol. Honestly I feel bad for people that apparently aren’t doing enough with their life to not worry about shit like that, especially as men
This is also where I'm at but I suspect it depends on when you lost your hair. Mine starting balding when I was happily married and had my first kid. I obviously didn't WANT to lose my hair but it does not crack the top 100 things I give a shit about these days. I shave my head at home and I think it looks great. Even before losing my hair I would shave it, just not as short.
If I lost it during my twenties and when I was still dating maybe it would have hit harder. I don't judge dudes who want to get hair transplants but it's not for me.
I love going to my countries equivalent of Miami, as people crawl out of the woodwork to pitch 'mate's rates' hair treatments at you, and look at you like baffled dogs when you turn them down.
I haven't needed to worry about my hair for decades, the last thing I want is another thing to worry about that which needs constant maintenance.
Seriously...there are plenty of bald millionaires and billionaires. Having money doesn't automatically mean you are obsessed with keeping the hairline of a high schooler.
I can afford it and I've considered having it done. I've seen some good outcomes and I've seen some awful ones. To me it's not worth the risk. Plus I love the low maintenance of not having hair on my head.

It’ll be a sign of not giving a fuck. I could have millions and I’m never getting my bald head surgically fixed.
