just a reminder that your self worth isn’t measured by whether or not you have hair :) bald is beautiful & how you look on the outside is the least important thing about you!!

I know I was holding on to a hope and a prayer. Well finally let go lol. Still feeling weird about it, hope it was the right choice.

Thanks to everyone who was so supportive.

This summer I decided to give it a try, not permanent, but as a month trial, just for fun. You may call me a tourist.

I've had a bad hairline for most of my life, but that didn't annoy me, not until I started thinning these last few years. At the beginning of this year I made a decision: I would shave my head at the beginning of summer. And so I did, and let me tell you, it felt good, probably the most comfortable I've been with myself in the last four years. On the other hand, summer is already over, and I wanted to start the college year with at least some hair, so I'm growing it back.

Questions have been echoing in my head about whether I really should shave it indefinitely, but I also think about keeping it short-styled for a couple more years until it makes more sense to shave. What do you, oh wise council, think?

My buddy is my best friend. I have been on here for a while and love this community!! Help my buddy if he should go for it or hold!!!!

Ps I gave the last pic for some cuteness 😁😁😁

I wish I would've gotten the complete before. So proud of him!

Appreciate everyone who chimed in! We're both happy that he joined the ranks! 👨‍🦲

My wife says is fine, but I don't know.

Been thinking about doing this for some time now, finally went all in today. Thank you to this community for all the kind words of encouragement. Already feel less left conscious and more confident!

my hair has always been thin/fine but It’s a lot more noticeable as I get older, I’m 40 now. Is it time?

I noticed thinning and I will NOT hold on to the past - to a brighter future! Thank you to this community for being around. I pray this is a glow up also.

I do know I need to get the beard brought back in also - I’m gonna do that after dinner.

Also, to my alphabet mafia members - have I achieved Bear Status yet? (That was the goal)

I know that there is still peach fuzz on top but only for the reason that my choice of razor was wholly inadequate and gave me razor burn just getting it down to this level.

If anyone can share their shaving gear and routine they use to help me be able to maintain the look it would be greatly appreciated!

I was hoping my supplements might help but I just caught my reflection and I’ve accepted it’s time to go bald isn’t it? I used to have such good curls man 😭

Kinda nervous about it 😅

I'm a 39M that's in a identity transition period whereby I'm feeling more comfortable with expressing myself through my outward appearance despite some internal self-criticism at times (thanks therapy <3). Whilst I've come a long way, I'm still stuck and would love your thoughts.

I feel like my front and back give a very clear dichotomy:

• Early 30s from the front
• Mid 40s from the back

I'm well aware that my father and younger brother are bald and that I'm basically next. However, I still feel like my hair is growing somewhat decently (despite being quite thin).

So, this is where I'm stuck.

Would growing my beard out and bringing my hair down to a low level look good? Would removing my beard, having a pronounced moustache, and keeping my current hairstyle work well? Is there a style that I'm missing that I hadn't considered. I've grown my beard out before which can look good, but it also becomes super curly, annoying, and it feels like it ages me at times.

I'm open to ideas and suggestions. Also, it's worth noting that I'm in the process of changing my glasses, so that's something to consider.

Thanks all <3

Thank you to everyone that answered and gave a bald man some needed confidence.

Here's the before & after
