r/bald

Hey guys !

Almost one month since I finally decided to jump for it.
Gotta admit, overall the reception was really mixed.

You gave me an amazing boost of confidence but the reality was very different.

So many (people especially at work) were disturbed by my look and gave me bad reviews.

Don’t really know how to deal with it without caring about others.

( Sorry for poor English, it’s not my mother tongue )

Anyway, thanks so much for the kind message.

Posting this on behalf of my partner. We’re all scared of his underlying head shape. Is it time?

I'm out at a bar with my best bud who just had to have her head shaved for her cancer treatment. She's come out in her new wig but it's roasting hot here in Barcelona and she's just gone to the bathroom to take it off so she can live her best bald life with a bit of a breeze. Personally, I think she looks banging without the hair (kinda jealous tbh). What do you think?

M23, had long hair a year ago, trimmed down but still losing a lot of hair on top. Decided to pull the trigger and go razor bald, what do we think?

Long time lurker here, but my time finally came.

I held on way past time. Was worried about head shape. What does the council think?

10 days ago I made the huge jump to finally accept that my hairline was never going to come back or be as full as it used to be.

I was really nervous and definitely insecure, but seeing people in the same position I was on here, face their fears, gave me the confidence to make the leap.

10 days on and I can happily say that it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I feel more confident in myself and I feel free from the constant hassle of having to awkwardly style my hair to hide how bad it had gotten.

If I can offer any advice to anyone who is apprehensive about shaving it all off: don’t be afraid.

So I actually decided to shave my hair off now just to see how I would look without hair as my thinning hair was bothering me so much.. everytime I went by a mirror the thinning areas would highlight my hair for me, even tho people on here and irl told me that I had good amount of hair. But for me I just couldnt stop looking at the areas where my hair was very thin, so today, first day of my summer vacation, I decided to just take it off to see how I would look! Still in shock that I actually did it, but I dont hate it! What do you guys think?😁

Gotta accept it.

I recently made a post asking you if I should shave my head. The comments I received boosted my confidence and increased my hype.

Thank you all for your kind words and feel free to give me more advices. Take care 😎

So, here I am, 28 y.o. and already bald. The 1st pic is me in my early 20s, 2nd pic is me before going bald, and the 3rd and 4th are the result. I've been single for 9 years already, and ppl in the malegrooming reddit community all told me I should go bald. Still feel that I don't look good somehow, and it seems like my stubble grows pretty miserably.

Took the plunge yesterday and I think I like it. Probably more since I am down 70 pounds since that first picture. I don't think I would have pulled it off quite so well if I was still that weight.

Well is this better it should I go further?

Edit: I agree I should go further but I’m trying to slowly acclimate my wife. What tools do y’all recommend for that final shave step?

First pick is before starting hims. The rest are after about three months of hims. Obviously it’s not doing anything so I’m probably gonna stop taking it. I know that it looks like I’m desperately clinging to the hair but I can’t bring myself to shave it. I am getting married in about a month. The wedding actually motivated me to lose weight bc I hated seeing pictures of myself overweight. I didn’t want to hate looking at myself in my wedding photos. The problem is now instead of hating my weight in photos I hate my hairline. I can’t decide if I should shave it before the wedding or not. My fiance says I shouldn’t and I don’t want to go against her wish but also I worry that I will hate my wedding photos forever if all I see is how balding I am. If I explained that to her she’s understand and wouldn’t push back on it so that’s not an issue. I am also worried that I have a very weird head shape and that I’ll look ridiculously lumpy and gross bald. There’s a lot of factors. I guess I am looking for advice or just a suggestion thanks for reading.

I hope its okay to post only the After shots.

It was definitely time to cut it off.

My dad was bald and shaved his head and had a interesting, lumpy head, i was worried I might too, so i held on for longer than I needed to.

I do have plans to get tattoos on my head, I already have one in the back

Really, I wanna know if I should lose the facial hair too, im leaning towards yes.
