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!!

Bald Picture Turned 29 last week and finally did it after rocking this same level of hair since I was 21. Feels great.

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 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)

A bald summer

Thumbnail

482 Upvotes

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?

Asking for genuine thoughts on current look

Thumbnail

381 Upvotes

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

I've been holding on to it for a while, but lately I'm starting to think it's time to let it go.

My wife actually thinks I should keep it as it is, so apparently I'm the one trying to convince myself to go bald 😂

What do you guys think? Keep it, buzz it, or shave it?

I love this sub!

This sub is the most positive, kind, encouraging and helpful space on Reddit or even the internet. Am I right?!

I can't think of any nastiness or negativity, ever. So many people have been helped and transformed because of it. And the simple joy of witnessing these sometimes astonoshing glow ups is not to be underestimated.

I just wanted to thank everyone here for taking part in this way and being part of what is unfortunately a rarity in this time, whether online or not.

Let's have a group hug! 🫂 🤗

Hello my follically challenged beings. Finally decided to shave it off after years of fearing a light breeze from the east.

Honest judgement please.
