was holding on too long! but today we said goodbye

Behold.

Now my cat wants to lick my head all day.

Thank you for the 900 comments and I honestly laughed my ass off at all the memes. thank you. I went with a two and a medium fade..

Was holding on to my hairline for far too long. Shaved it all off. I like it much more . Clearly not sober in the first pic. Had some substance abuse problems back in those days but I’ve been sober for almost 7 years now . Bald and sober .

I'm struggling with my hair too much. Every two month I' m like "OK let it grow again, it looks better". ( spoiler alert: no) And one month later I'm still with a bad hairline and all.

Hope it's my last big shave, I bought a 5 blades razor and will try to start a shaving routine.

Thank you to everyone in this community for the support to take the final plunge. I feel so damn liberated and free now. Absolutely zero regrets!

Been struggling with the decision. Do I commit to baldness or try to save it?

Obviously its time, probably long passed. My question to you all is this: after making the change, how do you deal with folks who may look at you differently? "Well, I liked the way it looked before." or "It looks okay."

Im not looking for parades and fireworks, and Im sure ill be happier (seeing your faces 'after' is a big motivator), but what about your loved ones who might be...less than supportive?

Turning 41 in two weeks and figured it was finally time. I was very adept at wearing a hat so I don’t even have a good before pic lol

I always wanted to shave my head so I finally did it!

1. Would I honestly pull off the bald look?

2. It's time, isnt it?

Thank you counsel for your kind words. I have finally done it!!

I have difficult, thin curly hair. It’s been thinning out for years now. Maybe not now, but I think my time is coming.

Have we reached the “he should just shave it off” phase?

I can’t grow a beard at 32. Photos are after ~4 days no shaving. First four pics are how I style it now, last two are combed back out of the shower.

Bald council, I love this sub and your uplifting positivity and hilarious comments. Please offer me your wisdom.

I mean, it’s not too late for me, right?

Went Bald out of respect for someone I knew since I was a baby.

Is it time? Might just skip the barber this round and shear the head. Or should I wait until the beard fills out?

Trying to grow a beard for the first time in my life (2 weeks in) to prepare for when the hair has to go. The harsh bathroom light has answered some questions for me already 😬

I keep reaching back to fix my pony tail . . .

Had a significant bald spot on top and a receding hairline, so I just decided this battle is not happening and buzzed it all off.

I'm only 27 and have grown my hair out for 7-8 + years at this point, I’ve been terrified of pulling the trigger on the ultimate decision but i am open to hearing others opinions…

Used to be told by my dad I’d go bald early in life and it used to scare me, but now I’m 29 and love being bald.
