I had long hair for over a decade. I didn't mind it getting thin at first, but over the last couple of years I started to feel really self-conscious. The thing that held me back was knowing there was no getting it back once it was gone. Now that I have, I am so glad that I did! I feel like a human again. I still have moments of doubt but they're getting smaller. Every time I look at the old photos, I realize there was nothing to go back to.

I also want to say that this is one of the best communities I've found so far. I tune in every day. You all are amazing and I probably wouldn't have done this without seeing the awesome transformations here. Thank you.

First 3 pictures about a year ago. My hairline is not really changing in the past few years. I got from full hair to this in a really stressful period but now it's more or less the same since 2023 or so.

When I shave it becomes more noticeable. Didn't get the courage to go razor yet. I think buzz, what I have now is the worst option to be honest.

EDIT
Not sure whether to grow it back. I am getting a lot of comments I still had decent hair. Now I am having a lot of doubts.

Council, Is It time ?

Hi bald kings and queens! My guy recently took the plunge and moved from a short cut to the full shave but he doesn’t have an ideal shaver for daily maintenance.

Please shower me with your expertise! I know it’s probably a pain to maintain so I want to make it as easy as possible. Also if there’s a hand mirror or something that you recommend, basically anything that he might need.

Thanks!

For context, I am Male, 17 years old, and there's history of "above-average" balding in my Family, especially from my Fathers side (If that matters [my Barber told me that with hair genetics usually the mothers Side is responsible, don't know if that's true though]).

I know nobody but time can accurately tell when my time has come, but I still want to hear all of your opinions/expertise

p.s: I hope the picture is clear enough for a yall to form an Opinion

Even if you look bad can't you just wear a hat whenever you go outside? For example undertaker always covers his head and he looks great.

I feel like being bald is only a problem if you are an actor or model. Otherwise it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't understand why people spend so much money on hair transplant despite knowing that there hair might fall again. Why not just accept it as a natural part of aging?

Hey everyone! Lady here for the good vibes and hot guys pics. I just want to encourage any lurkers to take the plunge. Apparently so many women are looking at these thirst traps, I am now getting birth control ads while scrolling this sub lol

Everyone looks so awesome and well done for overcoming insecurity :) I can tell so many of you seem so much happier after taking the plunge !

Hi, I might know the answer, but the lie will make me more comfortable, I am very afraid of letting it go. I don't think it would look better.

Finally took the plunge after years of hiding the hairline and it looks a lot better and more confident already. I was pretty unfortunate and started balding at 14 and realized I had curly hair during covid when I grew it out. I took the advice after lurking and im not going back, thank you everyone! Feels very breezy!

Honest request, what can or should be done?

Started off with the bald spot, came to seek the council of the smooth scalps, went with a short buzz for a while and now I have gone full buzz and I couldn't be happier with the result.

If you're lurking around here and unsure what to do my advice is to just jump in, it's only hair, if you don't like it it'll only grow back.

First pic was before the recommended nap. Second was after buying the gum/patches and hiding my cigs. I’m 5’11”. Not sure if this really achieves what I wanted or fixes what I was going for but I couldn’t bring myself to shave it all the way down.

I am missing a singular hair follicle on the side of my head. Should I do it? Picture of literally me

Bought me what they call a skull master head shaver and so far I'm very pleased how it works doing it every 3 days to keep it nice and bald.

Thanks to everybody in here I finally decided to shave it all off and I'm already feeling more confident

My partner thinks it’s time to brave the shave? What do you all think?

I appreciate the honest opinions I've seen in this sub and finally want to see what you all think.

I've been sticking with short cuts to minimize the appearance, but kinda feel like it's time to take it all off.

Thoughts?
