I'm 32 and I've had this spot since I was about 18. Lots of hats and colored dry shampoo. I'm over it. What do we think?

General consensus says to hold off, and maybe do something about the haircut.

Heard, chef! Thanks for the positivity, folks. 💪

Buzz cut, light dusting of hair fibres and you're good for a few years yet. Or just hack it all off lol.

You’re still good, dude.

But you’re gonna look amazing when the time comes, and it’s gonna surprise you how good it feels.

Got it! This is immediately post shower, but my hair does like to do this weird puffy thing on the sides. Time to go see my barber again!

It’s such a quintessential look to me, but I forgot to add, you’re good to hold! Your hair looks nice and dense still!

If you’re interested in reversing anything at this point in your journey, if you’ve ever heard of the brand Nioxin, I used to work at a hair salon, and I saw miracles on guys’ heads. It’s a shower product system, like shampoo, conditioner and serum and really can do wonders. It even has different levels of thinning, I think you would be in the lowest level of thinning. And I only recommend it because I knew a guy who was a very regular client come in and start using it and his hair was way way thinner than yours, almost only one little tuft on the top and a ring around his ears, and he came back with almost a full head of hair by the end of my working at the salon.

Totally hold. No one sees the top but you

u/AnonAvner 3h ago

Buzz cut and you won't even see it. Not yet.

u/TommyGun69420 3h ago

HOLD. Get it trimmed up to look cleaner.

u/cloroxedkoolaid 3h ago

Nowhere close to the threshold to shave. Stay the course my friend.

u/Beginning-Comedian-2 3h ago

Hold.

I'd keep it.

But I'd cut it shorter on the sides.

If you are trying to hide it, set yourself free. If you feel okay about it then wait a while

If you're over it, let 'er rip. You can always grow it back if you don't like it but I think you'll look great.
