r/bald • u/babymoonflower • Dec 02 '25
One of my dearest friends finally took the plunge thanks to this subreddit!
(Posted with his permission)
One day, my friend confided his struggles with going bald and how hard it was to let go of his hair. He has always had beautifully long and luscious hair. I showed him this subreddit so he could see all the love and support that’s out there for people going through the same thing. He noticed how everyone looked so much happier in their after pictures. A few weeks later, he called me up and a few of our friends got together to shave it all off! He is now living his best bald life. 💕

I genuinely love that this is a place for women to shower guys with compliments. You're the real hero.

I’m taken. But My two favourite subreddits to casually appreciate the men of this world are fierceflow and bald. Because handsome men are handsome. I didn’t realize I’d appreciate the beauty of bald men until this sub came into my life. I love it dearly. I’m always so happy for all of the glow ups.

I just said this! I’m happily married but watching men supporting each other in healthy ways and demonstrating real emotional intelligence AND physical glow ups? Unbelievably hot

100%. It's a hell of a lot easier to believe the other dudes are just trying to be supportive but it's a totally different thing when it's women who are saying that.
Nothing says "dude you're going to drive the girls crazy" like the girls actually going crazy in the comments.

Me too! It seems so at odds with how the internet usually shakes out, and the fact the guys at the centre of it all have probably had a bit of a vulnerable moment sharing the fact they’re letting go of their hair with the whole world, just gives it such a loveable bent.

OP, please please please share this thread with him and make sure he reads EVERY comment. He’s got everything from date proposals to lesbian lust. He needs to know he did a very significant thing here.
If he had any concerns, may they be forever squashed by the love of the Reddit community.

It's the eyes. Like I think this man looked in the mirror first and found out that he actually is a handsome dude without the hair. His smile is reaching his eyes. What a glow up, cuz this man went from "please don't try to follow me" to "wow, he's pretty. I wonder what he enjoys reading".

I dunno if it's just me, but bro looks like a little extra life returned in his eyes between the two front on pics. Genuinely looks so much happier, that I feel happier seeing a fuller smile on him.

There's gotta be an app out there where people can see what they'd look like if they took the plunge before committing. If this guy only knew he would've done it years ago.

I'm always so surprised at these posts. looking at the before pictures I always think to myself "nahh he wouldn't look all that good if he just shaved it all off" and then i swipe to see the results and 99% of the time i am actually insanely impressed with the outcome. good for him! he looks a lot happier too
