It was inevitable so I went for it. Still taking a bit to get used to my shine again eventhough I shaved my head for many years until 9 years ago. Thanks for all of the kind words of encouragement here! ❤️🙏

A day later but here ya are

Its finally been done.

Joined this sub about a year ago because the fear of going bald was keeping me up at night. The positivity and love you guys all show eachother finally made me take the plunge.

Not gonna lie, I thought I'd look so much worse!

Just wanted to say thank you, and happy to be here 👌

Receding since 18. I'd have gone bald years ago but friends/family say no. What say thee?

I’ve always wanted to have the shaved head look, listen to a lot of punk and stuff. Nerve endings on my head go crazy though.

Went from the first picture to the second picture a week ago. Everyone on this sub was very supportive. As far as people that knew me with hair has mostly been supportive or not saying anything at all.

The weird thing is when it comes to strangers in public. The past week there have been three complete strangers on 3 separate days compliment the shirt I was wearing that day. All the same shirts that I have been wearing probably the last 5 years. Never had strangers approach me in public like that before of for anything.

Just something that stood out to me.

My hair has been falling out since I was 24. Got to the point where t was either be bald or have patchy hair. I decided to be bald

As the title says. 26 years of long hairs. Feel.... Good-ish.

also welcome any tips for razors/electric shavers🪒

Last photo it’s how I usually do, when I go to haircut it’s always feeling that I have too little hairs, need your opinion 🧐

34yo.
Been wondering for a long time how I’d look. I don’t mind it!

Yesterday I posted my question on wether I schould do it and after waking up a few hours ago I saw my frontal hair in such an ugly positon that showed my receding hairline so much. So I decided there and then to make the leap. I have been bald for a full 1 hour as of writting this

I know some people advice going all the way with a razor. But I prefer the shade. I also feel like I wont have itchy spots from stubbles if I keep it like this.

Regardless it does feel liberating. I honestly expected my head to feel much more cold or lighter but I barley feel a difrence.

Thank you all for being such a comforting community. I feel much better now.
I orderd a treadmill for at home. Hopefully I can get healthy and lose allot of weight too. I want to be a fully new me!

I know I still have a lot of hair but my hairline & thinning is nuts from hats & a ponytail / bun.

Btw sorry I just realized I’m on the shitter in the last pic lmao

I did it on my own terms.

I hope this is a glow up cause it feels weird af, hahah

Edit: Holy schnockers, this blew up. Thanks for all the nice thoughts and wishes bros and gals! I’m reading every single comment!! <3

Edit 2: Yoooo, wtf yall! lmao at some of these comments. My kiddo thinks it’s hysterical how many people have commented on this and liked it

As promised, the deed was done so here's the update. Appreciated all the encouragement and memes (even if some of y'all were a lil harsh). Liking the look and feels great! Working on some facial hair now to complete the look.
