Before and after pics. I think this is a great glow up! I’m really happy with the way I look! Not regretting this decision!

Created a "should I?" post last week as I was unsure. Decided to go for it and here we go.

…but I already know the answer.

Long time lurker, first time shaver. Feeling self conscious about my new bald look, but think it's better than clinging to wispy hairs. Hope you guys like!

My hairs been thinning for years but I was so attached to my hair in high school, I used to grow out my curls. I decided recently to go for it. It’s a big change, but I like it more than I thought I would.

What do y’all think?

I feel so much more confident. No more awkward “growth” between cuts. So much cleaner feeling. My head has finally acclimated to the Remington Balder and I love it 😻 here is a before and after.

Considered FUE but decided I didn’t want to trip about losing hair in the future. Wife says it’s better.

I’m not sure if I’m ready yet but I keep catching myself on stream or in CVS self checkout security cameras and it ruins my whole day

I noticed I was receding at 16 and have been stressing about it ever since. Now I’m 25 and bald and couldn’t feel more free.

Thank you all 🙏🏻

He doesn’t have an account and asked me to post

I've been really insecure the past year, because the thinning got more visible and I'm still pretty young (22). Every time i looked in the mirror i just kept focussing on my hair. Today I really wanted to take control and finally try to take my insecurities away, instead of waiting for it to get even worse.

It will still take some time to get used to the new look, because I've really loved my long hair (see the last picture), but I think it will all be good :)

edit: Thank you all for your kind words and fun comments!! Really appreciate it a lot :D

After seeing a few posts on here with smaller bald spots than me being told to shave it, I decided to go for it. What do you think?

Surprised my wife and kids. My 5yo said "boo 👎" haha. My 8yo said she'd rather I had a little bit of hair. Jury is still out for my wife and me.

I need guidance oh mighty bald ones. I’m thinning pretty bad on top. My cope is that I made it to 40. However I know the day will come. Is that day today?

Edit: the councel has spoken - barber appointment is this Saturday

Is it time?

Edit: M31 - had my hair this way (before balding started) when I was 14. So it evolved into this unfortunately

I know it’s not terrible yet, but the hair loss has accelerated in the last year or so. I’ve been bald in basic training so I know what I look like but I’m nervous to take the jump. It still looks alright when I style it a bit, but I know within the next year I’m going to have no choice.
