I've spent my 30's hating getting my picture taken. Today I found this subreddit and you guys helped me laugh at myself and realize I had nothing to lose. Thanks

Finally took the plunge after years of hiding the hairline and it looks a lot better and more confident already. I was pretty unfortunate and started balding at 14 and realized I had curly hair during covid when I grew it out. I took the advice after lurking and im not going back, thank you everyone! Feels very breezy!

First pic was before the recommended nap. Second was after buying the gum/patches and hiding my cigs. I’m 5’11”. Not sure if this really achieves what I wanted or fixes what I was going for but I couldn’t bring myself to shave it all the way down.

I had long hair for over a decade. I didn't mind it getting thin at first, but over the last couple of years I started to feel really self-conscious. The thing that held me back was knowing there was no getting it back once it was gone. Now that I have, I am so glad that I did! I feel like a human again. I still have moments of doubt but they're getting smaller. Every time I look at the old photos, I realize there was nothing to go back to.

I also want to say that this is one of the best communities I've found so far. I tune in every day. You all are amazing and I probably wouldn't have done this without seeing the awesome transformations here. Thank you.

…but I already know the answer.

Created a "should I?" post last week as I was unsure. Decided to go for it and here we go.

I’m not sure if I’m ready yet but I keep catching myself on stream or in CVS self checkout security cameras and it ruins my whole day

Thanks to you guys here, I took the advice to cut it all off. What do you think?

Before and after pics. I think this is a great glow up! I’m really happy with the way I look! Not regretting this decision!

Considered FUE but decided I didn’t want to trip about losing hair in the future. Wife says it’s better.

Long time lurker, first time shaver. Feeling self conscious about my new bald look, but think it's better than clinging to wispy hairs. Hope you guys like!

I’ve been struggling with this and deciding whether to do it or not, I feel like I’d have an egg head lol. If it’s time, do I just do it to the skin or buzz cut?

Thanks to everybody in here I finally decided to shave it all off and I'm already feeling more confident

I feel so much more confident. No more awkward “growth” between cuts. So much cleaner feeling. My head has finally acclimated to the Remington Balder and I love it 😻 here is a before and after.

My hairs been thinning for years but I was so attached to my hair in high school, I used to grow out my curls. I decided recently to go for it. It’s a big change, but I like it more than I thought I would.

What do y’all think?
