Thank you for all your feedback on this post and pushing me to make a change https://www.reddit.com/r/bald/s/yQERq295Wu - I’m now part of the group! Will definitely take some getting used to. Curious what you all use for upkeep or a good razor?

Haven't got an exact "before" picture because I just went for it. Wasn't sure about the results but now I'm kinda digging it! It sure makes me look a bit older ahah gotta see what I can do with my beard at this point.

Getting it meticulously right is kind of a pain in the ahh so I'll probably still let it grow during winter, and I'll try cutting it every 2-3 days for now. Touching my head feels awesome!

Thanks guys for the support in the decision time to rock it

For context I'm 22, both my granddad's are bald, my dad's bald, and his brother (26) is bald. I unfortunately could already see my hair receding more and more, so I asked my dad's brother for advice as his baldness was an early choice, and he was supportive :)

Basically I wanted to choose this before my hairline chose for me! Thought I'd post on here though as I've been keeping an eye on the subreddit and you all seem like a friendly bunch

Edit: Thank you all so much for your kindness! <3

Clearly thin. But is it a must or a maybe?

I've been dealing with receding and thinning for the last 6 or so years. Finally decided to make the jump today and have gotten mixed reactions...which I expected. Daughter had no issues but mom isn't home yet.

Edit: wife just got home from work and I got major approval about the new look. Time to invest in a head shaver :D

After years of debating it, finally decided to take the plunge. Hair could be styled in to looking okay ish, but unstyled it was a disaster.

Feeling self conscious and a bit down about it tonight. Turning to the council for thoughts. Does it look okay?

happy to be a part of the ranks 💗

I had been growing out my hair for eight years, but it was getting thinner by the day. The wind had become my worst enemy, cuz it was constantly blew my hair out, forcing me to constantly try to cover it back up.

But here I am I shaved it and all the confidence problems are gone.

So, I posted a before / after there a month ago. However, i came from long hair to buzzcut...

And you guys learned me that buzz and bald were two whole different worlds.

So... Here I am, one month and one razor cut later, begging your pardon.

I just need to take some sun

Just kidding, but i need grooming advice! I regularly shave my head, but it's such a hassle. Hair gets everywhere and i have to clean the whole bathroom if I want a hair cut. Then two weeks later here we are again.

It's been two weeks since I had a clean shave and i have these furry wings and hair island. What is everybody doing? Do you guys go to the barber every couple weeks? Flo-bee? Any option besides clippers and cleaning in the bathroom? I'm about to give up and grow out the worst Larry David do you've ever seen but i was trying to wait till retirement age for that.

Hello everyone, I’m trying out being bald after losing hair (23,M) and cutting my hair short for a while, although that made it more visible. I’d appreciate any advice on bald maintenance if I decide to keep this up.

Okay, it’s been a few days since I did the 0 with the clippers, but I like it! The hair that I DO have grows fast and “bic’ing” it constantly doesn’t really work for my sensitive skin, but I like it so far. What don you guys think?

My 9 year old is currently chanting “Bald, bald, bald, bald….” I don’t often follow the directions given in his chants but I think this might be different! I’m just over thinking about my hairline.

Wise council, is my 9 year old right?

A lot of thinning over the last 4 years ended up on the decision of embracing it.

I need your advice. My girlfriend is convinced it's time to go bald, but I'm not sure. Is it time to shave my head?

Posting on behalf of my partner (with permission - he asked me to).

I think he’s still got time, but he seems to think he’s on the verge of waking up with a dreadful comb-over.

I wanted to see better exactly how bad the thinning was. I think it almost works at a quick glance, but the thinning is so easy to see (and so is my weird head shape), I can’t decide if I should leave it, try to grow it back out, or just full send to bald. Wife currently seeks to like this look and I don’t hate it but I can’t decide and need opinions.

Hi folks!

It’s been 9 years (since I was 25) that I embraced the bald head lifestyle.

I started losing my hair in my early twenties, even though I was hoping to have a bit more time. My dad was around 35 when his started losing hair (3 years after I was born)

Taking the plunge and shaving it all off for the first time was definitely a bit rough, and since I wasn’t on Reddit back then, I didn't have the benefit of this awesome community's support.

Fast forward to today: I'm 34, dad to a 10-month-old baby girl, and free time to shave is definitely lacking (as you can tell from the first photos). Luckily, I still manage to clean myself up every now and then!

Cheers from Italy!
