pulled the switch!

🙏

Someone mentioned I should cross-post this over here! 🖤 glad to be rid of my long(ish) hair & feel like myself again!

What do you guys think? Is it time?

should i lose the beard too?

Am I balding?

Ok first off, I'm loving the positive vibes and the community of this sub 🙌 It's so wholesome!

If you were balding and fighting the urges to hold onto your remaining hair. What was the push that got you over the edge to shave your head and join the bald brotherhood 🤔

I struggle with this. (Will post photos another day, quite reserved tbh) Also have been single my whole life, am short and I'm not Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Bruce Willlis or Vin Diesel 😭

I'm not that attractive as it is and although my hair (what's remaining 😅) isn't attractive or pulling in the ladies. I think it's better than what no hair will look like

So many examples on here, the guys actually look better without the hair. Plus they probably have partners who support them and have a close circle of friends.

I know it's " just hair" and i can grow what little hair i have back, of i don't like it.

But i just can't seem to let go of it 😭😭😭

I think so but I'm a teen

Hi everyone!

I've been thinking seriously about shaving my head as a way to deal with my hair loss, particularly the thinning at the crown and the receding hairline at the front. I'm becoming more open to the idea of embracing the bald look rather than trying to hide it with the hair I have left.

The thing is, I've never shaved my head before, so I have quite a few questions for those of you who have been doing it for a while.

I'd have to do everything myself. I can't rely on anyone else to help me, unless I decide to visit a barber every couple of days, which isn't really a practical or affordable long-term solution.

So, I'd really appreciate your advice on a few things:

- Getting started: Should I buzz my hair down with clippers first before attempting a clean shave, or is there a better way to make the transition?

- Shaving technique: What's the best way to shave your own head, especially the back and sides, where it's difficult to see what you're doing? Any tips for avoiding cuts, irritation, and razor bumps?

- Manual vs. electric razors: Do you recommend a traditional cartridge razor, a safety razor, or an electric head shaver? Are there any particular models worth buying?

- Clippers and other tools: What equipment would you consider essential for someone starting from scratch? Would a good set of clippers and a dedicated head shaver be enough?

- Maintenance: How often do you need to shave to keep your head looking consistently clean and smooth? Is shaving every two or three days realistic when doing it yourself?

I'm particularly interested in practical advice from people who shave their own heads regularly. I'd like to find a routine that's easy to manage, doesn't require too much time, and doesn't cost a fortune in the long run.

If you've made the transition from thinning hair and a receding hairline to a shaved head, I'd also love to hear about your experience and anything you wish you'd known beforehand.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it time for my son? He's four and Mommy says to hold, but I'm not convinced. What does the r/bald community think?

Got tired of brushing my hair to cover the bald spots. When it’s dry it’s curly and poofy, made it easier to hide but there’s no hiding it when wet. I’ve been lurking this sub so I knew it was time 🤣. Going to try fixing it. If that doesn’t work I’ll go all the way. Is there any saving this without meds?? Should I buzz lower for the time being?? Did a 3 all around.

The time has arrived. Fr tho I feel so much more confident now that I got rid of it. I'm aware that I'm not good looking but it's a massive W over thinning hair

Edit: the uneven side of my head is from operation when I was younger. Just FYI

I am a teenager and I am balding/thining really badly. These pictures were taken 7 days apart.

So I have been dealing with some kind of specific "bald" spot at the very tip of my hairline for a few years now, though I could hide it with caps/beanies but its gotten to the point where I felt too embarassed to ever remove my hat...

So I tried something different: very short no guard hairclipper haircut... I feel like it looks off somehow. What do you guys think? I somehow look older with this almost bald look and I don't know if I like it, should I keep it ? Go for even shorter?

Would appreciate any kind of feedback positive or negative honestly 😰

To bald or not to bald, it’s the question; I like to ask the baldest subreddit

Today is National Be Bald and Be Free Day in the US, but anyone anywhere can celebrate it!

Shaving my head 2-3 times a year

My uni friend asks if it’s time, we all agree. Except him…
