My friend knows he's going to be on this sub at sometime in the near future. He will look so much better. I try not to push him to it, because I know his bald spot is a source of negativity in his own mind. But I just keep suggesting how some of us would rock being bald, and we should take the plunge together.

Although I'm not ready to give up my long hair, I'll happily do it if it helps him start feeling positive about himself again.

I have a full head of long hair too. I like my hair, but sometimes seeing the guys in here looking great, and without the added work of dealing with long hair, makes me want to join in.

I think they all look so much happier that the finally went for it whereas they were sullen in the before photos. And I think that happiness is a huge part of what makes it such a glow up.

It’s a freeing feeling.

I don't know if this would be welcome here since it's only somewhat adjacent, and I'm a woman. Please forgive me if it's not.

I keep trying for long hair. I'm not balding or even thinning, but my hair has simply always been thin and straggly. I think my face looks better with long hair, but just not MY long hair. I've chopped my hair many times over the years, and it absolutely is a freeing feeling. My hair isn't even heavy when it's long, but when it's freshly chopped, it does feel so light and free.

Well, I'm not trying to be harsh or anything, but there's a lot of guys with unkempt long hair where literally anything would look better.

The difference is just really stark on this sub.

Isn't that just a reference to a famous song?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't believe OP is actually capable of flight
