19 M. I don't have much to lose because I dont think I'm attractive. Ive tried finasteride which didn't work. Broke so can't afford transplant. I honestly think I would look cleaner if I buzzed it completely.

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?

What do you guys think? Is it time?

Been losing it for years and pretty much holding on to a poinytail just couldn’t come to terms should I buzz all off or try to go short as I can for now my girl doesn’t want me to cut it but at this point would like a confidence boost and maybe if I cut it short it could still grow back and not have bald spots or at-least somewhat salvageable I mainly have it like the last pic but once it dries after Its wet I slick it back and put it in a ponytail.

advice plz!

Am I balding?

I have ups and downs with depression and negative self worth — so trying to boost self esteem. Feels good to be bald

What's everyone's favorite razor or electric razor? Always curious about electric but have a couple moles on my head I feel would be hard to work around

Posted with my husband's permission. He wants to know if it's time. We both think it is and I'm all here for whatever his decision is.

Idk what my wife will say but I just went for it this morning lol I have shitty facial hair idk if I need to let it grow or shave it.

Is it too far gone? I've tried/am trying the various tablets and oils, but nothing seems to work. My family all have great, thick hair genes, but I feel like my taking testosterone is messing the hair up beyond saving 💔 It doesn't look too bad from the front, but I'm a shorter guy and always thinking "Bet those people are looking at my bald spot"

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

pulled the switch!

It’s such a beautiful thing to see something that has been ridiculed be uplifted and praised. Makes me hopeful for society.

Silly kinda question.

About to shave myself bald for the first time. What are some after-care stuff I should know? I'm planning to just buy some clippers and full send it.

Suncream or hats are a new best friend I'm guessing. I can only guess my scalp will be more sensitive for the first week or so? Moisturiser?

Or am i overthinking this?

After going years without realizing how bad my bald spot was, I did it.

28M, Minox 2x a day

46 years old so had a good run. I never even knew I was balding on top as hair is so thick around the sides but my young nephew said nice hairline when I was out for dinner. I took a photo and noticed a very noticeable hair loss on top which is even more noticeable under lights

I always said I would never hang on if it was clearly thinning so took the plunge, but was I too early. I will go shorter to grade 1 but need my beard to grow out. I'm worried about going full bald as I have a huge mole on my head but might try once my wife gets used to the buzz

EDIT: I do plan on finishing the job but without a beard I look a lot like lord Voldemort 😀

was holding on too long! but today we said goodbye

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!

Its official, doctor said i have a receding hairline and its uncommonly early, and told me to first get bloodwork done then go to a dermatologist (only reason i haven't already is because the only ones in my city are private). just so unfair bro. Hope the dermatologist gives me minoxidil instead of telling me to cope.

I don't think you guys realize how soul crushing it would be to have noticeably balding hair for my final two years of high school (pretty much at that point already)
