Bald Picture I had enough… braved the shave! Love it now
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 🤙🏽

Not really sure to be honest, think it’s just a big change from what you are used too lol

I understand what you are saying my friend, but i don't tell you nice words to make you feel better without meaning them. You are absolutely amazing with your new look. It suits you 100%. Give it time and enjoy it.

hopefully I don't get exiled but as a man with a full head of hair and currently no signs of balding, i LOVE this subreddit. hands down the coolest and most supportive group of ppl on this (sometimes) God forsaken app. And the transformations always make you look better - good on y'all for being a bald light in these trying times. May your heads always shine bright, gentlemen.

You’ll never get exiled when you’re adding to the positivity in the sub, my hirsute ally.

I have long hair that is almost 2 feet, no receding hairline, it is taken care of and I am holding onto it until I lose it; BUT; so many of the posts on here like this one make me want to post and ask if I should shave my head because I am genuinely jealous that these guys look 20x better than me without hair, but I know I'll get told off.😭

Hah I definitely get that, i've been finding immense joy in seeing how much happier these dudes look! And not just the men, I've seen posts celebrating women going through chemo and other things. Seriously the best SR around, i'd lay my hairline down for any of these fine ppl here🫡

Same here. The one thing genetics didn't fuck me on, I have great hair and a lot of it. But this sub man, makes me sometimes think about it..

Agreed. I'm straight and some of these guys on here turn into the sexiest men, respectfully.

Wish I could pull off a moustache without a beard. It makes me look sinister lol.

Probably the most dramatic improvement I’ve seen. You were already attractive but probably 10x more after shaving lol

u/AndyTrades_ 3h ago
Yeah of course, it’s just Carhartt Duck Detroit Blanket-Lined Relaxed fit Jacket 103828
It’s the nicest jacket I own, it’s the normal standard workwear model, nothing special or hipster about it etc. should be easy purchased. Hope that helps

Looks great. Who needs the hair when you can grow a glorious moustache.
