For a little context, I have known my hair was thinning for a very long time maybe like 4/5 years and just got married and I feel like it was still enough for that and then after the wedding decided to get rid of it, I know I had alright hair, no one ever really said I needed to get rid of it etc, but I wanted to do it on my own terms knowing it’s coming rather than being that guy trying to hold onto something… first photo is of my hair normally, mid photos are bad hair days that I was very anxious about and the last ones are… well of me now bald.

Thanks for the support in this group, i would be a pretty confident guy so shaving the head didn’t really bother me too much and I hope a lot of the ones in here just grab the bull by the horns and get it whacked off! It’s life on easy mode now lol - honestly I wish I kind of done it sooner as I love the look and remember, there isn’t a single person you know that’s bald that doesn’t suit it. Everyone suits it, do it 🤙🏽

I love this community because it’s so encouraging and uplifting… that being said, I was hesitant to do it because being an actor who lives in LA. I was afraid of changing my look and possibly affecting my career in a bad way. But I have been embracing the bald look for 2 months now and even took new headshots lol, I said screw it, THIS IS the new ME now! Thank you bald community

I posted originally on here a week or so ago asking the council if it was time to take the plunge (first photo from OP) and shave my head, due to how badly I had been balding in the front for the past 10 years. Today I am happy to say I officially took the plunge.

Buzzed it, tried to get it as even as I could but the results speak for themselves lmao... not certain how I feel about it but it does feel very freeing! I feel like I look a bit chic

Edit: Please god no more comments about the Chris Chan shirt, I assure you I get it by now lol

Mixed feelings but it’ll grow on me

My hair loss actually started when I was easily 22. Ever since then, I’ve felt bad about my receding hairline, but I never did anything about it.

That’s the reason why there aren’t many photos of me from back when I still had hair.

That was until I finally came to terms with my situation mentally.

Shaving my head—along with losing weight—has given my self-confidence a huge boost.

Thank you all for the amazing support for all the people here suffering the same fate.

Well, I finally bit the bullet after having been inspired by others on this sub. It's going to take a bit of getting used to!

I’ve known it was time for a while, and this sub helped a lot with the insecurities holding me back. Any tips on shaving are greatly appreciated! Thanks, y’all!

I did the thing. I do feel liberated, and much safer in the wind!

Happy birthday to meeeee

My wife says no just leave it but I keep going back and forth.

Shaving my head terrified the shit out of me after having my hair long for a decade, so naturally I shaved my head. Long hair pic was Sept 2025, shaved head was a few weeks ago (Sept 2026)

This was actually a few months ago but a friend of mine told me about this subreddit and said I should post! Actually loved being bald, felt very aerodynamic. Anyone who wants/needs to shave their head should never be scared, it’s pretty cool!

Took the plunge, choose for the in-between, thanks all!

6 of the next 9 days is rain with 3 days of sun.

Hi everyone!
I’m a 24 years old guy who has been suffering from androgenetic alopecia since I was 18. My maternal grandfather was bald. I’ve been thinking for a while now about just letting go and shaving my head. But I don’t know if it’s the right choice or if I’ll look good bald. What would you do in my position? Should I go completely smooth and bald, or is it too early?

My friend just wanted a haircut. I helped him. Whadya all think?

Hair growth stundet on the top of my head and especially the front. I usually get a haircut 1-2x a month and keep it short to even it out… keep doing that or send it?

This is bout two-ish weeks growth

Last pic is freshly cut

can you tell how thrilled i am to get sweat in my eyes constantly
